Shiftry 12/185 · Vivid Voltage

Shiftry is Pokédex #275, generation 3 (Hoenn). Shiftry is a Stage 2 Grass Pokémon with 150 HP. The card says it evolves from Nuzleaf. In this catalog that name is Nuzleaf (#274).

Shiftry sits at 12/185 in Vivid Voltage, position 12 of 203. Before it is 11 Nuzleaf, and after it is 13 Nincada. The set belongs to the Sword & Shield series. It was released on November 13, 2020. The printed size is 185. This checklist is longer, at 203 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

Shifty Substitution is listed as Ability. As long as this Pokémon is in the Active Spot, each Supporter card in your opponent's hand has the effect "Draw 3 cards." (This happens instead of the card's usual effect.) The attack Fan Tornado lists 110 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless. You may have your opponent switch their Active Pokémon with 1 of their Benched Pokémon. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "A Pokémon that was feared as a forest guardian. It can read the foe's mind and take preemptive action." The regulation mark is D.

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 lists 120 HP, and this one lists 150 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and Uta illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 3. 19 other cards of Shiftry list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Uta. I count 50 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Vivid Voltage set binder is where a full Vivid Voltage 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.
