Provenance

Where it came from

Released in July 2006 as part of the EX Crystal Guardians expansion, this card represents the tail end of the EX series era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The set focused on the theme of Pokémon adapting to the environment of an isolated island, a concept reflected in the Crystal Guardians branding. As an EX card, Shiftry ex was designed to be a high-powered centerpiece for competitive play, featuring significantly higher HP and more potent attacks than standard versions of the creature.

The artwork for this card was provided by illustrator Ryo Ueda, known for his dynamic and highly stylized approach to Pokémon designs. Ueda leaned into Shiftry's mischievous and somewhat intimidating nature, utilizing the darker aesthetic of the Darkness-type to create a striking visual impact. At the time of its release, the card was received as a strong tactical tool, appreciated by players for its ability to manipulate the game board, even as the EX series began to evolve toward the later Diamond & Pearl era.
