Shiftry
Oracle Text
Ability Fan Away: Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, return 1 Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon to your opponent's hand. This power can't be used if Shiftry is affected by a Special Condition.
Attack Light Touch Throw (80-): Does 80 damage minus 10 damage for each Energy attached to the Defending Pokémon.
Card Details
Set
Character Background
Shiftry from Sandstorm is a classic control-leaning Stage 2 that rewards patience and board pressure rather than raw aggression. Its Fan Away ability can quietly steal tempo by bouncing an Energy back to the opponent’s hand, especially if you keep Shiftry active and protected while forcing awkward attachments; even a single successful use can disrupt a key attacker or delay a big attack by a full turn. Light Touch Throw complements that plan by hitting hardest when the opponent has loaded up Energy, which is exactly when you want to punish them for overcommitting. This makes Shiftry best suited to tempo-control decks that aim to slow the game, not race it. Deckbuilding tip: pair it with Energy denial and gust effects so you can repeatedly target the same powered-up Pokémon, and consider cards that help protect Shiftry from Special Conditions, since Fan Away shuts off if it’s afflicted.
