Provenance

Where it came from

Shiftry card 097/203 was released in 2021 as part of the Evolving Skies expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set is widely recognized by collectors for its focus on Eeveelutions and high-rarity alternate art cards, drawing heavily from the Japanese expansion Eevee Heroes. As a rare-tier card, this Shiftry serves as a standard inclusion in the set, representing the Wicked Pokémon introduced in the third generation games.

The artwork for this specific card was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, a veteran artist whose contributions have been central to the Pokémon TCG since its inception in 1996. Arita frequently employs a distinct style that emphasizes the atmosphere and natural environment of the creatures he depicts. In this instance, his design captures Shiftry in a dynamic posture, reflecting the creature's lore as a forest-dwelling guardian, maintaining the aesthetic cohesion established across the broader set.
