   I think out of every Pokemon, Shiftry always has a card that’s at the very least interesting. They all have some sort of ability or attack that isn’t just “do damage” or “flip a coin to do more damage”. They always seem to come up with something at least semi-new for him

     You’ll be really interested in the newest Shiftry that’s being printed then. We should get it in the next set, Vivid Voltage

     Here is Shiftry’s Ability:

     Tengu Switcheroo
     As long as this Pokémon is your Active Pokémon, the effect of all Supporter cards in your opponent’s hand become “Draw 3 cards”

       That’s amazing. Turns all their supporters into Cheren! Shame it has to be active but I think it’s still a wonderfully unique Power.

   In their hand… So is that distinct from “all Supporter cards your opponent *plays*?” I’m pretty rusty on the TCG, but there are probably some attacks/abilities/etc that allow you to play supporters from your deck, or something else that circumvents the hand, correct? And would Tengu Switcheroo cease to work when a Supporter card leaves the hand to come into play?

     I am not sure what you’re talking about, Plino. Did you post under the correct card? Or did I miss something? XD

     Anyway, There are ways to play Supporters from a location other than your hand. If an effect is preventing you from playing a Supporter from your hand, an effect that lets you play a Supporter from elsewhere, or a non-Supporter that lets you use the effect of a Supporter, can indeed still be played (barring further effects).

   They should bring back duel-type cards.
