Shiftry is a Grass/Dark type tier 3 raid boss. It has many weaknesses, including Bug, Fairy, Fighting, Fire, , Ice, and Poison. Note that it is double-weak to Bug-type attacks, so be sure to prioritize those as counters.
After beating it, Shiftry can be caught with the following CP values:
- 1263 – 1333 CP, at level 20, no weather boost
- 1579 – 1666 CP, at level 25 with Sunny or Fog weather boost
It’s an easy solo for high-level trainers, but lower-level trainers may want to bring a friend or two. Also, Shiftry can be shiny!
