Power Keepers

Shiftry ex 97/108 · Power Keepers

Shiftry is Pokédex #275, generation 3 (Hoenn). Shiftry ex is a Stage 2 ex Darkness Pokémon with 140 HP. The card says it evolves from Nuzleaf. In this catalog that name is Nuzleaf (#274).

Shiftry ex sits at 97/108 in Power Keepers, position 97 of 108. Before it is 96 Salamence ex, and after it is 98 Skarmory ex. The set belongs to the EX series. It was released on February 2, 2007. The printed size is 108, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare Holo EX.

The attack Skill Hack lists no damage number. The cost is Darkness. Look at your opponent's hand and choose a Basic Pokémon or Evolution card you find there. Choose 1 of that Pokémon's attacks. Skill Hack copies that attack except for its Energy cost. (You must still do anything else required for that attack.) (No matter what type that Pokémon is, Shiftry ex's type is still Darkness.) Shiftry ex performs that attack. Dirge is another attack lists 60 damage. The cost is Darkness, Colorless, Colorless. Does 60 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon that has the same name as the Defending Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Grass ×2. Resistance is Psychic -30. Retreat cost is 1. The card text says: When Pokémon-ex has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

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). That card is named Shiftry, while this one is Shiftry ex. That card lists 120 HP, and this one lists 140 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Holo EX. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and Ryo Ueda illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 17 other cards of Shiftry list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ryo Ueda. I count 462 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Power Keepers set binder is where a full Power Keepers 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.
