amiibo Shulk is Nintendo’s figure of the Xenoblade Chronicles hero in the Super Smash Bros. series line. Nintendo describes Shulk as a handsome young man and budding scientist who wields the Monado, a legendary blade that can slice through Mechon armour. The figure was first released in early 2015, and Nintendo of America notes it launched as a GameStop exclusive in the US before wider availability.

The Figure: Shulk and the Monado
The sculpt shows Shulk mid-stride with the red Monado held low, on the black base used across the Super Smash Bros. series. Like every amiibo, it has an NFC chip in the base, so it is both a display piece and an in-game key.
Our photos show the Japanese retail box, which prints the name in English and Japanese (シュルク). Nintendo does not publish a regional restriction for amiibo on the pages we checked.
amiibo Shulk in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Tap the figure on the NFC touchpoint of the right Joy-Con or the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and its Figure Player joins your game. On the official Smash Bros. site, Nintendo explains that Figure Players learn new abilities and tactics as they fight, so the more they battle, the more personality they gain.
You can also feed spirits to the Figure Player to add their attack and defence power, and send it on a journey online, where it battles other players’ amiibo even when you are not playing and earns rewards when it wins. Because it learns from you, a trained amiibo Shulk becomes one of a kind.
A Monado for Noah in Xenoblade Chronicles 3
The most specific bonus is in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Nintendo Japan’s compatibility list says scanning amiibo Shulk lets you change the look of the sword used by Noah’s Swordfighter class to the Monado, and also gives items that help on your adventure.
That makes this figure the natural pick for Xenoblade fans: it links the original game’s hero to the newest entry in a way most amiibo do not.
Other Compatible Games
Nintendo Japan lists the figure as compatible with a long range of titles, including Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, Fire Emblem: Three Houses and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. In many of these the bonus is generic, the same reward any amiibo gives, so do not expect Shulk-specific content in every game.
Nintendo also notes that compatibility and functionality vary per game and that software updates may be required.
Who This Is Not For
amiibo Shulk is not a poseable action figure: the pose is fixed and the base is part of the figure. Players without a Nintendo console that reads amiibo will only get a display piece.
Collectors who want Western retail packaging should note that our stock is the Japanese box. And if you do not play Smash Bros. Ultimate or Xenoblade Chronicles 3, the in-game value is limited to the generic rewards other games give for any amiibo.
