Evolve now or wait
from the game's learnsets and the relearner ruleNuzleaf 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 forfeit | Level | Can you get it back? |
|---|---|---|
| Fake Out | 19 | No. The Move Relearner only teaches moves from the current form's own level-up list, so once it is Shiftry this move is gone. |
| Torment | 25 | Yes: TM41 Torment teaches Shiftry. |
| Feint Attack | 31 | No. 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 Wind | 37 | No. The Move Relearner only teaches moves from the current form's own level-up list, so once it is Shiftry this move is gone. |
| Swagger | 43 | Yes, a move tutor teaches it once; see tutors. |
| Extrasensory | 49 | No. 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.
