Evolves into Shiftry with a Leaf Stone.

Evolve now or wait

from the game's learnsets and the relearner rule

Nuzleaf evolves whenever you use the Leaf Stone; the comparison below assumes you do it at level 15, the level you first meet it. Evolving then forfeits 6 moves that Nuzleaf would still learn: Fake Out at 19, Torment at 25, Feint Attack at 31, Razor Wind at 37, Swagger at 43, Extrasensory at 49.

Move you would forfeitLevelCan you get it back?
Fake Out19No. The Move Relearner only teaches moves from the current form's own level-up list, so once it is Shiftry this move is gone.
Torment25Yes: TM41 Torment teaches Shiftry.
Feint Attack31No. The Move Relearner only teaches moves from the current form's own level-up list, so once it is Shiftry this move is gone.
Razor Wind37No. The Move Relearner only teaches moves from the current form's own level-up list, so once it is Shiftry this move is gone.
Swagger43Yes, a move tutor teaches it once; see tutors.
Extrasensory49No. The Move Relearner only teaches moves from the current form's own level-up list, so once it is Shiftry this move is gone.

Rule the game applies: the Move Relearner in Fallarbor Town (he takes a Heart Scale) teaches only the level-up moves of the form you hand him, at or below its current level. Delaying an evolution costs the evolved form's higher base stats for every level you wait; a move you barely use is not worth that.
