Shiftry 25/107 · Deoxys

Shiftry is Pokédex #275, generation 3 (Hoenn). Shiftry is a Stage 2 Grass Pokémon with 110 HP. The card says it evolves from Nuzleaf. In this catalog that name is Nuzleaf (#274).

Shiftry sits at 25/107 in Deoxys, position 25 of 108. Before it is 24 Seaking, and after it is 26 Skarmory. The set belongs to the EX series. It was released on 1 February 2005. The printed size is 107. This checklist is longer, at 108 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

Fan Action is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may switch 1 of the Defending Pokémon with 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. Your opponent chooses the Benched Pokémon to switch. This power can't be used if Shiftry is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Stadium Power lists 50+ damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. If there is any Stadium card in play, this attack does 50 damage plus 20 more damage. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

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 110 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 20 other cards of Shiftry list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kouki Saitou. I count 652 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Deoxys set binder is where a full Deoxys 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.
