Diamond & Pearl

Shiftry 14/130 · Diamond & Pearl

Shiftry, Diamond & Pearl #14

Shiftry is Pokédex #275, generation 3 (Hoenn). Shiftry is a Stage 2 Darkness Pokémon with 120 HP. The card lists level 48. The card says it evolves from Nuzleaf. In this catalog that name is Nuzleaf (#274).

Shiftry sits at 14/130 in Diamond & Pearl, position 14 of 130. Before it is 13 Roserade, and after it is 15 Skuntank. The set belongs to the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on May 1, 2007. The printed size is 130, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Darkness Fan is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), if Shiftry is your Active Pokémon, you may flip a coin. If heads, choose 1 Evolved Pokémon on your opponent's Bench, remove the highest Stage Evolution card from that Pokémon, and put it back into his or her hand. This power can't be used if Shiftry is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Spirit Dance lists 50+ damage. The cost is Darkness, Darkness, Colorless. Flip 2 coins. This attack does 50 damage plus 20 more damage for each heads. Weakness is Fighting +30. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "By flapping its leafy fan, it can whip up gusts of 100 ft/second that can level houses."

Shiftry (#275) has 22 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 18 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Shiftry 12/100 in Sandstorm (2003). Both list 120 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this one. 20 other cards of Shiftry list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Masakazu Fukuda. I count 471 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Diamond & Pearl set binder is where a full Diamond & Pearl set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Shiftry can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
