It can be valuable to purchase one of the items that can slow enemies: Frozen Mallet, Dead Man's Plate, or Entropy.

Shyvana's abilities all benefit from attacking units. As a result, Attack Speed items are more valuable on her than most champions.

This shows that there is a terrible synergy between Alistar and Shyvana that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Shyvana has a much lower diffuclty than Alistar. That means Alistar players don't need to be careful when enlisting Shyvana allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Fighting on the same side, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to tank a lot of damage. When paired, these two might be able to provide enough cover for their team's carries.

In contrast, by bringing Alistar and Shyvana together, you probably will not be providing your other allies enough magical damage output. Make sure to include other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative gap in their abilities.

Regardless of your Shyvana ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
