#11 Shiftry - Steam Siege (xy11)

Shiftry is a Grass and Darkness-type Pokémon with 140 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. It is part of the XY series, released in the Steam Siege set on August 3, 2016, and is classified as a Rare Holo card. The Pokémon has two attacks: "Wicked Wind," which costs one Grass energy to deal 40 damage and nullifies all Stadium and Pokémon Tool effects until the end of the opponent's next turn, and "Extrasensory," requiring two Colorless energy to deal 60+ damage, with an additional 60 damage if both players have the same number of cards in their hands. Its Pokédex number is 275, and its flavor text describes it as capable of generating powerful gusts strong enough to destroy buildings. The card was illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno and has no resistances, making it vulnerable to Fire-type attacks with double damage. Shiftry’s design emphasizes its dual nature as both a plant-based and shadowy entity, reflecting its unique typing. This card is notable for its strategic impact on gameplay through its disruptive abilities.
