Shiftry 072/071 (JP)

This is Shiftry 072/071 (JP), a Japanese Art Rare from the Cyber Judge set. The card number sits above the main set total of 071, which marks it as one of the special cards that fall beyond the standard numbered list. Shiftry is a recognisable evolution from the Hoenn generation, and the Art Rare format gives this Japanese card a full illustration with plenty of scene around the Pokemon.

Art Rare is the Japanese label for cards that frame the Pokemon within a complete painted environment, equivalent to the Illustration Rares collectors know from English sets. The borders open up so the artwork fills the card, and these tend to be the cards collectors chase first in a Japanese release thanks to their style and presentation.

Whether you collect Japanese cards, build runs of Art Rares, or have a soft spot for Shiftry, this raw single makes a strong addition to a binder or a display frame.
