Shiftry ExPower Keepers #97 Pokémon Card

Shiftry is a Grass/Dark type Pokémon introduced in Generation III, evolving from Nuzleaf, which in turn evolves from Seedot. Known as the Wicked Pokémon, Shiftry possesses a distinctive appearance with long, white, flowing hair-like structures and leaf-like fans on its arms, giving it the appearance of a forest spirit or a Japanese tengu. Its Pokédex entries often describe it as living deep in forests, using its large leaf fans to create powerful gusts of wind, and having a somewhat sinister or mysterious nature. Shiftry is said to be able to read the opponent's mind and predict their moves, making it a formidable opponent. In the games, it is characterized by its high Attack and Special Attack stats, often utilizing moves that benefit from its dual typing. In the anime, Shiftry often appears as a wild Pokémon, sometimes depicted as mischievous or protective of its forest home. It represents the darker, more cunning aspects of nature, contrasting with many other Grass-type Pokémon.
