===Physiology===
Shiftry is a bipedal, portly {{wp|plant}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} 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 a male.
Shiftry is a large brown Pokémon with menacing features. It has long shaggy white hair which covers most of its face. It has long ears, a very long pointed nose and teeth that are usually gritted. Its hands are broad leaves which it can use to create powerful winds. Its feet are unusual in that they resemble Japanese {{wp|Geta}}, but have only a single central "tooth," the part Shiftry walks on. Its eyes are yellow.
 
Shiftry is a wicked, mysterious, and very rare Pokémon that lives atop ancient trees in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|deep tropical forests}}. It arrives with freezing winds and is feared by people as the guardian of the forest. It is said that when Shiftry does this, the winter season will arrive. It can read an opponent's mind and then take preemptive action. [[AG037|In the anime]], it was shown to lead large groups of {{p|Seedot}} and {{p|Nuzleaf}}. Folklore states that Shiftry was once an evil bird Pokémon before its wings and beak were replaced as punishment for its misdemeanor.
 
===Evolution===
Shiftry evolves from {{p|Nuzleaf}} and is the final form of {{p|Seedot}}.


====Gender differences====
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)

===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Shiftry is the leader of [[Team Shifty]], a [[Rank (Mystery Dungeon)|Normal Rank]] rescue team. It initially only does missions for profit but this changes after it is scolded by [[Team A.C.T.]]'s {{p|Alakazam}} for refusing to rescue a {{p|Jumpluff}} from [[Silent Chasm]]. It is rescued by the {{player}} from {{p|Zapdos}}, and stays in [[Pokémon Square]]. After completing the game, it gives access to [[Buried Relic]] once [[Stormy Sea]] has been completed. The same Shiftry returns at Super Mystery Dungeon as a recruitable character.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Despite what is written in its {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} Pokédex entry, Shiftry cannot learn {{m|Mind Reader}}.
* Shiftry's evolutionary line can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Ludicolo}}'s family. All members of their respective families are part {{type|Grass}}, they first evolve at level 14, a respective [[Evolution stone]] is used to reach the final stage, both of them are [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and both are based on yōkai: Shiftry's family is based on the {{wp|tengu}} and Ludicolo's family is based on the {{wp|Kappa (folklore)|kappa}}.
 
===Origin===
===Origin===
Shiftry are probably based on {{wp|Tengu}}, who are known for their long noses, cruel tricks, and ability to read minds.
Shiftry seems to be based on a mature {{wp|oak tree}} and a {{wp|tengu}}, Japanese {{wp|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 {{wp|geta (footwear)|geta}}. They also wield magical {{wp|hand fan|fans}} that have the power to stir great winds, similar to Shiftry's leafy hands and ability to learn moves such as {{m|Whirlwind}} and {{m|Hurricane}}, as well as having the {{a|Wind Rider}} Ability. Its wooden, humanoid body and large mouth are also reminiscent of a {{wp|nutcracker doll}}.
 
====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Shiftry's name is probably a combination of the words ''shifty'' (meaning deceitful), and ''tree''. Its Japanese name is probably a combination of ''dark'' and 天狗 ''{{wp|tengu}}'', tricky Japanese goblins.  Shiftry's German and French names also have ''tengu'' incorporated in them.
Shiftry may be a combination of ''shifty'' (appearing deceitful) and ''tree''.
 
Dirteng may be a combination of ''dirty'' (dishonest) and 天狗 ''{{wp|tengu}}''.
