Shiftry (Japanese: ダーテング Dirteng) is a dual-type Grass/Dark Pokémon. It evolves from Nuzleaf when exposed to a Leaf Stone. It is the final form of Seedot.

Biology[]

Shiftry is a large, brown bipedal Pokémon. It has a long, shaggy, white mane that covers most of its face. It has long ears, a long pointed nose, and a large mouth with teeth that are usually gritted. Its eyes are opaque yellow with black sclera and pupils. It has three broad leaves with brown spokes on its hands, which it uses to create powerful winds. These winds can move close to 100 feet per second in speed. A female will have smaller leaves than a male. Its feet resemble Japanese tengu-geta.

Shiftry can read an opponent’s mind, and then take preemptive action. It is a wicked and mysterious Pokémon that lives in deep forests. It arrives in chilly, wintry winds. People fear it and consider it the guardian of the forest. In the anime, it was shown to lead large groups of Seedot and Nuzleaf.

Trivia[]

  • Shiftry's evolutionary line can be seen as a counterpart to Ludicolo's family. Both of them are part Grass-type, they first evolve at level 14, a respective evolutionary stone is used to reach the final stage, and both of them are also version-exclusive between Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.
