Shiftry (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Shiftry is a bipedal, portly {{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 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 chilly, wintry 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.

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}}.
