Need me some nails to hold down some warped wood paneling. Paneling isn't that thick.
I know nothing about wood nails.
Need something substantial enough to hold it on but easy enough to actually hammer in. Had some bad experiences with nails where I hammer and hammer but wouldn't go in (couldn't tell you what kind of nail at the moment).
What kind of nails should I use?

I want to say you're looking for finishing or panel nails

But, I'm no carpenter. I could be wrong depending on the specifics of your use case.
Any photos of the project you're working on?
Like, OSB sheathing or outdoor treated plywood?
Just use roofing nails. Use a length that's twice as long as the panel your putting up (one inch nail for 1/2inch thick material).
Also don't forget to throw some insulation in there if your finishing the interior. You don't want to have to go back in if you decide at a later date you want to make the shed into a more liveable space.
Unfortunately, I'm not well versed in wood to explain accurately what it is. Might be 1/2 inch or less thick. Essentially a sheet of wood with the outside looking like vertical wood panels and the inside is smooth.
Now I just need to find the charger for my drill...

Goddamn wizard magic, those screws
Almost always, outside of framing, you should whip out the drill and screws.
There's no universe where nails make sense for wood panelling. Just don't.
