In-Depth Analysis
Shiftry totals 480 across its base stats, profiling as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Lean on its Attack (100) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Defense (60).
Defensively, the Grass, Dark combination gives Shiftry 6 resistances, 1 immunity, and 7 weaknesses to plan around. Watch out for Bug moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. Offensively it pressures 5 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Shiftry a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
