Every Sandslash card

The short version

Sandslash has four printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across four expansions — the earliest in Genetic Apex and the most recent in Fantastical Parade. It is a Stage 1 Fighting-type Pokémon printed at between 90 and 100 HP, weak to Grass, with a retreat cost of 1. They run to three rarities — one Common, two Uncommons and one Shiny. The hardest to pull is the Shiny from Crimson Blaze, at about 1 in 279 packs, or 1,000 Pack Points to buy outright. Nine hunts in ten end inside 643 packs, which is about 11 months at the two free packs a day the game gives you. The printings come out of eight different packs. The most recent is Sandslash #078, from an expansion that shipped in January 2026. That printing attacks with Fury Swipes for 30x. The card’s own words: “The spikes on its body are made up of its hardened hide. It rolls up and attacks foes with its spikes.” It has been drawn by four artists.
