<p>Splitting EVs between Shiftry's average attacking stats may seem like a bad idea, but this is not the case as Shiftry's high Base Powered attacks such as Leaf Storm, coupled with the speed boost granted by Chlorophyll, make Shiftry quite the formidable wallbreaker, able to get past common defensive cores such as Ferrothorn / Jellicent and Gliscor / Jirachi / Rotom-W. This Shiftry fits best on sun teams as it*can take on problematic Pokemon to sun teams, such as Heatran and Tyranitar with Nature Power or Low Kick, Latios and Latias with Sucker Punch, Dragonite with Hidden Power Ice, and Terrakion and Landorus. Hidden Power Fire OHKOs Ferrothorn, Skarmory, and Forretress with sun up, preventing them from setting up hazards which hamper Ninetales' ability to switch in. Shiftry also has a strong, STAB priority Sucker Punch that is useful outside of weather. It is even capable of OHKOing Latios, Starmie, and Chandelure. Nature Power is an option over Low Kick; Shiftry losses the OHKO on Tyranitar with Low Kick, but*Tyranitar gets 2HKOed with Leaf Storm followed by a Nature Power. Nature Power also ensures a 2HKO on Specially Defensive Jirachi, whereas HP Fire is a 3HKO.</p>
<p>Adding to Shiftry's utility on a sun team, it also functions as reliable anti-weather lead. Here are some damage calculations against all of the weather inducers seen in OU:</p>
<ul class="damage_calculations">
<li>Low Kick vs 252/0 Tyranitar 115% - 135%</li>
<li>Leaf Storm vs 252/252+ Politoed 84% - 100%</li>
<li>Leaf Storm vs 252/0 Politoed 117% - 139%<li>
<li>Leaf Storm vs 252/252+ Hippowdon 94% - 111%</li>
<li>Hidden Power Fire vs 252/0 Abomasnow 90% - 106%</li>
</ul>
<p>It's note-worthy that Shiftry can comfortably stay in on Choice Scarf variants of Politoed, as a max Special Attack Politoed falls short of the OHKO against Shiftry with Ice Beam by 2%. Shiftry must be wary of Choice Scarf Abomasnow and Chopple Berry Tyranitar though.</p>
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
<p>EVs and Life Orb obatian the damage above, while the Speed is enough to outspeed +2 Cloyster, and +1 base 110s by 2 Points with sun up, along with Timid Politoed without sun
Stealth Rock is useful to break Dragonite's MultiScale, and to weaken Volcarona down to Sucker Punch KO range. Donphan and Forretress are good defensive options to provide Stealth Rock, while Mamoswine and Infernape are good offensive options.*Ninetales is an obligatory teammate*Shiftry has trouble getting past Chansey / Blissey or Dragonite (without HP Ice), so Scizor or Scarf Terrakion can be used as partners to deal with them.*DDNite not locked into Outrage could be troublesome to revenge kill because of Extreme Speed*Heatran is a good partner as it provides SR support and is able to take on Scizor, ESpeed Dragonite and SDef Jirachi while generally fitting well on Sun Teams</p>
