# Shiftry #72/99 — Next Destinies

## Summary

Shiftry's Giant Fan was a gamble in the Black & White days, a coin flip that could shuffle away an opponent's best Pokémon, and it gave the Hoenn Grass-Dark evolution a real if niche tournament pulse. A standard Rare in its set, it draws Gen III fans and quirky-deck players, not chase hunters. A $0.74 modelled guide, down 26% over 30 days on 2 copies traded, says bulk, with 90 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.09 out of Temporal Forces.
