Its Ability

Evolutionary Fan

Once during your turn, when you play Shiftry from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon, you may choose 1 of your Evolved Pokémon in play (excluding any Shiftry). Return that Pokémon and all cards attached to it to your hand.

Its attacks

Reactive Beating

30

If Shiftry has any React Energy cards attached to it, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused.

Cross-Cut

40+

If the Defending Pokémon is an Evolved Pokémon, this attack does 40 damage plus 30 more damage.

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

    Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.

  2. A strength

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

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,728 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,728 tournament lists we have read, 1,292 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.
