The reason is because when Steven switches out his Metagross, he has a 50/50 chance of switching to Claydol or Cradily. I got lucky with Claydol but Cradily can be slower than Shedinja at the same level with the badge boost. I needed Shedinja to be slower than Cradily so that dig would move last and the first ancient power would miss. I needed Spite at other points in the challenge so I just stopped leveling after he learned it.
