Read more ↓Shiftry, the Wicked Pokémon, is a Grass/Dark-type introduced in Generation III. It is the final evolution of Seedot, evolving from Nuzleaf when exposed to a Leaf Stone. Known for its imposing appearance and mischievous nature, Shiftry is often depicted as a forest guardian or a menacing figure that whips up powerful gusts of wind with its leafy fans. In the games, Shiftry’s dual typing gives it unique strategic advantages and disadvantages, making it a memorable choice for trainers. Its Pokédex entries often highlight its ability to read opponents' minds and its preference for living in ancient forests, rarely showing itself to humans. Shiftry's design is inspired by the Japanese tengu, a mythical creature known for its long nose and mastery of wind. Its role in the anime often portrays it as a powerful, sometimes antagonistic, force of nature. This Pokémon exemplifies the often-complex relationship between nature and its more shadowy aspects within the Pokémon world.
