Sandy Shocks ex

Description

Sandy Shocks ex is a Basic Fighting-type Pokémon featured as card number 108 in the 2023 Paradox Rift set. Produced under the SV4 set code, this Double Rare card features a distinctive Holo finish designed by PLANETA Mochizuki. As a Pokémon trading card game card, it serves as a key addition for collectors building their Paradox Rift collection or those specifically seeking out Double Rare variants. In gameplay, Sandy Shocks ex boasts 220 HP and offers strategic value through its Magnetic Absorption ability. This ability allows players to attach a Basic Fighting Energy card from the discard pile to the Pokémon, but only when the opponent has four or fewer Prize cards remaining. This mechanic makes the card particularly relevant in the late stages of a match, providing crucial resource management for Fighting-type decks. The card also features the Earthen Spike attack, which requires two Fighting and one Colorless energy to activate. This attack deals 200 damage but comes with a significant drawback: Sandy Shocks ex cannot attack during the next turn. Collectors appreciate this balance of high damage output and tactical limitation, which defines the card's unique identity within the set. Whether you are a competitive player looking to integrate this Fighting-type powerhouse into your strategy or a fan collecting the diverse roster of Paradox Rift, Sandy Shocks ex represents a compelling piece of modern Pokémon TCG history.
