PvE Analysis

Shiftry PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

• Grass Attacker:Razor LeafLeaf Blade
• Dark Attacker:SnarlFoul Play

Despite having a good moveset on both the Grass and Dark departments, Shiftry is rather underwhelming in the meta due to its low ATK. Moreover, with Meowscarada outperforming it in the Grass side, there's no reason to go with Shiftry in PvE. #### ⚔️ Raids Shiftry's Grass-type DPS is even behind Arboliva while its Dark-type DPS is behind Shadow Carvanha. This gives you a clear picture of how bad Shiftry is in Pokémon GO Raids. #### 🛡️ Gyms Several weaknesses (including a double-weakness to Bug) and low bulk makes Shiftry a poor Gym defender.

🔵 Great League

With lightning fast energy generation and hard-hitting Charged Moves, Shiftry is a menace in PvP. It is extremely dominant against Water, Ground, and Ghost Pokémon, and these traits alone make it a quality addition to your team. That said, Shiftry is quite frail, so you often go down to high-octane Fast Moves. But even then, Shiftry is often successful in baiting a shield because of how hard Leaf Blade hits.

Ultimately, Shiftry does make an impact!

🟡 Ultra League

Shiftry is a terrifying threat in the Ultra League, punishing the format’s top Water (expect regular Feraligatr and both regular and Shadow Empoleon), Ground, and Ghost (except Gourgeist Super) types with utmost dominance. Yes, it also beats Giratina Altered and a slew of other major targets like Armored Mewtwo, Cresselia, Steelix, and Lickilicky.

Shiftry is always appreciated in PvP for its ability to leave a dent even during unfavorable matchups. Be it cutting down a lot of HP or baiting a shield, this Pokémon excels in this role, making it a valuable part of your Ultra League team. That said, remember that Meowscarada is a far better Pokémon for these battles!

🟣 Master League

Shiftry is unfortunately not strong enough to take on the might of the Master League.
