History is building. At least two days of matching observations are needed to show a trend.
Each point is the last stored observation that day for this printing, condition, grader, autograph status and source. Gaps mean no observation; guide estimates and asking prices are not completed sales.Designed by Mitsuhiro Arita, the card captures the essence of this alternate version of the Ground-type staple, reimagined with metallic and combat-oriented characteristics. For players and collectors alike, Sandslash δ offers intriguing gameplay potential through its Delta Storm ability. This effect allows the controller to place a damage counter on each of the opponent's Pokémon-ex while Sandslash δ remains in the Active spot, creating a powerful defensive pressure that defines its strategic role. The card also features two attacks: a versatile move that deals additional damage if the opponent already has damage counters, and a straightforward Slash attack for consistent damage output. Collecting this card is a rewarding endeavor for enthusiasts of the early 2000s Pokémon era. As a Rare card within the DS set, it holds a special place for those looking to complete the Delta Species collection or acquire a piece of this unique chapter in Pokémon TCG history. Its combination of artistic vision and mechanical innovation makes it a standout addition to any focused collection. Whether you are building a comprehensive Delta Species binder or hunting for specific Pokémon-ex cards, this Sandslash δ card represents a key component of the set's legacy. Its dual-type classification and unique ability set it apart from standard versions, offering both visual interest and strategic depth. The card serves as a testament to the creativity of the 2005 release, bridging the gap between traditional Pokémon designs and the more complex mechanics introduced in later years.
