Description
Alolan Sandslash occupies card number 138 in the Pokémon Cosmic Eclipse set, released in 2019. As a Stage 1 Metal-type Pokémon evolving from Alolan Sandshrew, this card provides distinct tactical options for players and collectors alike. With 120 HP, it serves as a resilient presence on the bench or battlefield, particularly when supported by Pokémon Tool cards that amplify its offensive capabilities. The card features the Reinforced Needle attack, which deals 60 damage plus an additional 60 if a Tool is attached, making it a versatile choice for metal-themed strategies. Alternatively, collectors may appreciate Curve Strike, a 30-damage attack that offers defensive utility by potentially negating incoming damage. Designed by Hasuno, this rare card captures the icy, rugged aesthetic associated with Alolan variants within the broader Pokémon universe. For enthusiasts of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, this release represents a significant piece of the Cosmic Eclipse era. It appeals to those seeking to complete set collections or build specialized metal-type decks. The combination of mechanical depth and iconic subject matter ensures its relevance among serious TCG hobbyists who value both gameplay utility and set completeness.
