Shiftry is a bipedal, portly Pokémon that appears to be made of wood. A shaggy white mane covers most of its face and trails down its back. Long pointed ears poke out the top of its mane, and it has a long, pointed nose and a large mouth with teeth that are usually bared. Its eyes are yellow with black sclerae. This Pokémon's feet resemble Japanese {{wp|Geta (footwear)|tengu-geta}}. Three broad leaves with brown spokes form each of its hands and are used to create powerful winds close to 100 feet (30 meters) per second in speed. A female will have smaller leaves than the male.

Shiftry (Japanese: ダーテング Dirteng) is a dual-type Grass/Dark Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves from Nuzleaf when exposed to a Leaf Stone. It is the final form of Seedot.

Biology

Shiftry is a bipedal, portly Pokémon that appears to be made of wood. A shaggy white mane covers most of its face and trails down its back. Long pointed ears poke out the top of its mane, and it has a long, pointed nose and a large mouth with teeth that are usually bared. Its eyes are yellow with black sclerae. This Pokémon's feet resemble Japanese tengu-geta. Three broad leaves with brown spokes form each of its hands and are used to create powerful winds close to 100 feet (30 meters) per second in speed. A female will have smaller leaves than the male.

Shiftry is a wicked, mysterious, and very rare Pokémon that lives atop ancient trees in deep tropical forests. It arrives with chilly, wintry winds and is feared by people as the guardian of the forest. It can read an opponent's mind and then take preemptive action. In the anime, it was shown to lead large groups of Seedot and Nuzleaf.

Major appearances

Shiftry made its main series debut in Jump for Joy!. The Wicked Pokémon kidnapped Nurse Joy and took her to its lair to aid a wounded Nuzleaf.

In Choose It or Lose It!, Tyson used a Shiftry during the Ever Grande Conference. In At the End of the Fray, it battled Ash's Torkoal but was defeated.

In From Cradle to Save, Angela used a Shiftry to handle Team Rocket after they tried to steal the Pokémon of the Pokémon Ninja School.

In Ka Boom with a View!, a Shiftry was the first Pokémon Spenser used in his battle against Ash at the Battle Palace, and it lost to Sceptile. It reappeared in a flashback in King and Queen for a Day.

Trivia

Origin

Shiftry seems to be based on a mature oak tree and a tengu, Japanese yōkai with long noses who use their supernatural powers to protect forests and play cruel tricks on people. Like Shiftry, tengu are often depicted with flowing white hair and wearing single-toothed wooden sandals called geta. They also wield magical fans that have the power to stir great winds, similar to Shiftry's leafy hands and ability to learn moves such as Whirlwind and Hurricane. Its wooden, humanoid body and large mouth are also reminiscent of a nutcracker doll.

Name origin

Shiftry may be a combination of shifty (tricky or deceitful) and tree.

Dirteng may be a combination of dirty (tricky or deceitful) and 天狗 tengu.
