Base stats:

Pokédex Data:
By flapping its leafy fan, it can whip up gusts of 100
ft/second that can level houses.
Shiftry has a very decent and wide movepool, and can use some
support moves as well. Unfortunately what seems like a very fast
Pokémon is actually pretty slow for the standards. Its abilities
are decent, but I think you’ll like Chlorophyll better, for
sunny day teams.
The movesets for today are…
Special sweeper.
Shiftry@Leftovers / Choice specs.
Nature: Modest (+ Special attack, - Attack), Timid (+ Speed, -
Attack).
EV’s: 252 Special attack / 252 Speed / 6 HP.
- Energy ball / Leaf storm
- Dark pulse
- Nasty plot / Extrasensory
- HP water / HP ice / Explosion
Choose your set and start sweeping. If you are going for choice
specs leave nasty plot out of the equation.
Sunny beamer.
Shiftry@Life orb / Heat rock.
Nature: Modest (+ Special attack, - Attack).
EV’s: 252 Special attack / 252 Speed / 6 HP.
- Sunny day
- Solar beam
- Explosion / Dark pulse
- HP ice / HP fire
Probably your best bet with Shiftry. Sunny day will give you the
speed and power you need. Use explosion to surprise your
opponent, and what a surprise it will be.
Pros.
It is pretty good in both single and double battles if you can
keep the sunny day working. It might be better if you can baton
pass some speed, but that’s up to you.
Counters.
Dragons are fairly good because of the fire and flying type
moves and they have amazing speed and attack stats. Fire and
poison types are good as well.
Bottom line.
Not as good on its own. Try to give it some support and it’s
going to be an interesting shot.
Rating:
2.2/5
Hope you enjoyed.
