    So,post here your ideas about moveset for Shiftry,please :)
     
    Alrighty then.

    Shiftry (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Chlorophyll
    EVs: 60 HP / 100 Def / 12 Spd / 212 SAtk / 124 SDef
    Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
    - Sunny Day
    - Solar Beam
    - Hidden Power [Fire]
    - Synthesis
    Sunnybeaming Shiftry, sorta his standard, but I put Synthesis in because with the extra Speed from Sunny Day he could make use of it.

    Shiftry (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Early Bird
    EVs: 60 HP / 252 Atk / 20 Def / 104 Spd / 72 SDef
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Swords Dance
    - Explosion
    - Shadow Ball
    - Brick Break
    Just a little something different, Swords Dance to get some Attacking power, then try to sweep, Explode when you are about to die.
    I think he is to weak defensively to pull this set off though.

    Shiftry (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Early Bird
    EVs: 124 HP / 192 Def / 192 SDef
    Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
    - Rest
    - Toxic
    - Protect
    - Substitute
    Hehehe... Toxic, then stall with Protect and Sub, then Rest, enjoy waking up after 1 turn because of Early Bird and repeat.
    People will not see this coming and will most likely not send a Steel in against him until it's to late, as they will have expected only Sunnybeaming from Shiftry.

    I can make some more if you want, he has a pretty good movepool.
     
    Mad as, glad you liked them.
     
    Lion Heart, dude... Not every Pokemon is good at Protect/Toxic... And Shifty can also Leech Seed, so it needs that or it just fails.
     
    I know not every pokemon can do it, but Shiftry can, they only need to have a decent amount of Speed to get up Sub first.

    You could try it with Leech Seed > Toxic, I like Toxic because you have lefties recovering you anyway.
     
    That's why you use Protect + Sub.

    It gets you 2 free turns sorta thing.

    With Leech Seed though, you'd really only need Sub, and could replace Protect with something else....

    Sub/Leech Seed/Protect/Toxic for total annoyment, stopped in it's tracks by Grass/Poisons though (Venusaur, Vileplume, Victreebel, etc..)
