Its Ability

Darkness Fan

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, choose 1 Evolved Pokémon on your opponent's Bench, remove the highest Stage Evolution card from that Pokémon, and put it back into his or her hand. This power can't be used if Shiftry is affected by a Special Condition.

Its attacks

Spirit Dance

50+

Flip 2 coins. This attack does 50 damage plus 20 more damage for each heads.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    It has an Ability, Darkness Fan. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  2. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,427 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  3. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Nuzleaf to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fighting +30. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,427 tournament lists we have read, 1,216 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.
