Where it came from
Shiftry, a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in the third generation, appears in the Temporal Forces expansion released by The Pokémon Company in early 2024. This specific card, numbered 005/162, represents a modern interpretation of the character within the established Scarlet & Violet trading card game cycle. The set was designed to integrate Paradox Pokémon and Ace Spec cards, reflecting a shift toward higher-intensity gameplay mechanics while maintaining the classic visual identity of the franchise.
The card features artwork typically commissioned by the Pokémon Illustrators team, who maintain a consistent aesthetic across the TCG. As an uncommon card, it serves as a utility piece for players, balancing its role in deck building with the artistic standards of the series. While individual artists vary across the Temporal Forces set, the design language remains focused on capturing the creature's menacing, folklore-inspired aesthetic, which draws heavily from the Japanese tengu legend.
