Gangly Stompling
Creature — Shapeshifter
Having manifested in the grotto at diminutive size, it now reveled in the reverberations of its own heavy footfalls.

If an effect causes a creature with changeling to become a new creature type, it will be only that new creature type (unless the effect says "in addition" or similar). It will still have changeling; the effect making it all creature types will simply be overwritten.
The subtype Shapeshifter that appears on the type line is mostly there to reinforce the flavor. A creature card with changeling is just as much a Kithkin, a Goblin, a Merfolk, and a Brushwagg as it is a Shapeshifter.
Changeling is a characteristic-defining ability. It functions in all zones, not only while a card that has it is on the battlefield.
