Collector Insights
Shiftry is a Grass-type Pokémon with 120 HP and a retreat cost of two Colorless Energy. It features the Poké-Power "Fan Away," which allows the player to flip a coin during their turn; if heads, they may return one Energy card attached to the defending Pokémon to their opponent's hand, provided Shiftry is not under a Special Condition. Its primary attack, "Light Touch Throw," requires two Grass and two Colorless Energy to deal 80 damage minus 10 for each Energy attached to the defending Pokémon. Shiftry has a Fire weakness that multiplies damage by two. The card belongs to the EX series, released as part of the Sandstorm set in 2003, and is illustrated by Atsuko Nishida. It carries the number 12 and is classified as a Rare Holo card. The card's theme emphasizes strategic energy manipulation and defensive disruption through its abilities. Its design and mechanics align with the Grass-type archetype, focusing on energy efficiency and conditional effects. The card's artwork and layout reflect the game's aesthetic of the early 2000s era.
