Pokémon TCG Sandshrew

Description

This original Pokémon TCG card features the Mouse Pokémon, Sandshrew, as a sturdy Basic character. The card showcases a highly artistic and colorful illustration of the Pokémon standing in a shimmering desert under a dramatic twilight sky filled with purple and pink clouds.

As a Fighting-type Pokémon, it utilizes its claws and the surrounding terrain to engage opponents. Its primary moves include Dig Claws for a quick strike and Mud-Slap for a more impactful ground-based attack. The artwork by Shinji Kanda provides a unique, etched aesthetic that highlights the Pokémon’s armored hide, complemented by flavor text stating that it digs deep burrows to live in and rolls up its body to withstand attacks when in danger. The card also features standard game stats, including a specific weakness to Grass-type attacks and a low retreat cost.
