Flip a coin. If heads, prevent all damage done to this Pokémon by attacks during your opponent's next turn.
It lives on snowy mountains. Its steel shell is very hard—so much so, it can't roll its body up into a ball.

Where it came from
The Alolan Sandshrew card from the Guardians Rising expansion, released in May 2017, serves as an interpretation of the regional variant introduced in the seventh generation of the Pokémon franchise. Following the debut of the Alola region in Pokémon Sun and Moon, this card was created to showcase the ice-type adaptation of the classic ground-type creature, reflecting the creature's lore of having migrated to the snowy peaks of the islands.
The illustration was crafted by artist Mizue, who employed a clean, minimalist style to emphasize the character's icy aesthetic and defensive curling posture. As a common card, it was designed primarily for inclusion in booster packs to provide players with accessible water-type options for the trading card game, and it was generally well-received by collectors for its faithful representation of the modern Alolan design shift.
