Collector Insights

Shiftry is a Darkness-type Pokémon from the Black & White series, featured in the Next Destinies set. It has 130 HP and a retreat cost of 1 Colorless energy. The card includes an ability called Giant Fan, which allows the player to flip a coin when evolving another Pokémon; if heads, they may shuffle an opponent's chosen Pokémon and attached cards into their deck. Its primary attack, Whirlwind, requires two Darkness and one Colorless energy to deal 60 damage and force the opponent to switch the defending Pokémon with one from their bench. Shiftry resists Psychic-type attacks by 20 HP but is weak to Fighting-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card’s flavor text describes its ability to create gusts strong enough to level houses. It was released as a Rare card in the set dated February 8, 2012, and is illustrated by artist match. The card’s design emphasizes its role as a strategic evolution tool with disruptive effects.

By flapping its leafy fan, it can whip up gusts of 100 ft/second that can level houses.
