20 Most Overrated Pokémon In History

20. Shiftry

As a dual Grass/Dark type Pokémon, Shiftry works in a fairly unique field. This type combination makes it very attractive to a lot of users, but it also exposes it to just as many flaws and weakness. For each of the seven types that Shiftry is strong against, there are another seven that it will struggle with.

As a result, Shiftry is a Pokémon that is unpredictable outside of its comfort zones. It can be as useful as any other monster when dealing with a type advantage, but you'll hardly ever find it's able to hold its own against Pokémon with unusual movesets or against sudden changes to your opponents' team on the field.

With its stats leveraged heavily towards its two attacking options, Shiftry has little or no chance of surviving in a closely cut match. It may deal great damage with good type combos when things are going well, but we all know things scarcely stay so rosy in Pokémon battling!
