Pluto's orbit is quite unusual. It takes 248 Earth years for Pluto to complete one orbit around the Sun. Its orbit is also more oval-shaped, or elliptical, than those of the 8 major planets. That means that sometimes Pluto is a lot nearer to the Sun than at other times, At times Pluto's orbit brings it closer to the Sun than Neptune.

Does Pluto overlap Neptune?

Actually, yes it does. Pluto, because of its lopsided orbit, crosses paths and goes in front of Neptune once every 288 years. It probably is once every 288 years because Pluto orbits the Sun once after 248 years.
