## Description

The Pokémon Sandstorm Wobbuffet #26 is a Rare card from the 2003 Sandstorm expansion, designed by Atsuko Nishida. As a Basic Psychic-type Pokémon with 80 HP, it offers distinct tactical options for collectors and players interested in early Generation 3 mechanics. The card features the Safeguard ability, which prevents all effects of attacks, including damage, from opponent Pokémon-ex. Its primary attack, Flip Over 50, requires Wobbuffet to take 10 damage to itself, ignoring Weakness and Resistance during that turn. This self-damaging mechanic creates a high-risk, high-reward dynamic that defines its strategic niche. Collectors often seek this card for its nostalgic value within the Sandstorm set and its role in early TCG history. Completing sets from this era provides insight into the evolving design and balance of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The card remains a recognizable piece of Pokémon memorabilia for fans of the franchise.
