Provenance

Where it came from

The Alolan Sandshrew card, numbered 28/156, was released in the 2018 Ultra Prism expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was notable for introducing Prism Star cards and focusing on the Sinnoh region, blending classic mechanics with the regional variants first seen in the Alola region of the Pokémon Sun and Moon video games.

The card features artwork by Miki Tanaka, who has been a frequent illustrator for the Pokémon TCG for many years. In this depiction, the Alolan Sandshrew is rendered with a clean, digital aesthetic that highlights its icy, crystalline quill structure. The illustration reflects the creature's lore as an Ice-type variant that adapted to snowy mountain environments, and as a common card, it served as an accessible entry point for players looking to include Water-type utility in their competitive decks during the Sun and Moon era.
