Shiftry (ダーテング) is the 24th Pokémon in the Hoenn Pokédex. It is a Grass/Dark Type, and is classified as the Wicked Pokémon.

Shiftry can have one of three abilities: Chlorophyll, which doubles its Speed when it is sunny, but not on the same turn in which the weather becomes sunny; or Early Bird, which cuts the number of turns afflicted with the Sleep condition in half, rounded down to the nearest full number. Shiftry from the Dream World have the Pickpocket ability, an Ability allows the Pokémon to steal the opponent's held item when the opponent uses an attack that requires physical contact against it.

Seedot evolves into Nuzleaf once it reaches Level 14. It can then evolve into a Shiftry when a Leaf Stone is used on it.

Shiftry is in the Egg Groups Field and Grass, and its Egg takes approximately 3,840 Steps to hatch. It takes Shiftry 1,059,860 Experience Points to reach Level 100.

[edit] Biology

[edit] Pokémon Information

[edit] Competitive Battling

Shiftry is a Five-Tier Pokémon, as it can appear in any tier ranging from Never-Utilized to Uber. While its Statistics are mediocre outside of its Attack and Special Attack, it has plenty of methods of boosting those Statistics, making it a very dangerous threat offensively, especially with a deep offensive movepool. Plus, if paired up with a Pokémon that has the Drought Ability, it's Speed will double if it's using the Chlorophyll Ability.

While Shiftry needs to turn to its teammates for assistance in order to sweep the opposing team, when played correctly it can look real good. Shiftry shines brightest in the sun; taking away this Weather Condition makes it easier to defeat.

Regardless the weather, attacks with priority will cut through Shiftry's low Defenses like a hot knife through butter.
