Where it came from
The Alolan Sandslash card, numbered 138/236, was released as part of the Cosmic Eclipse expansion in the Pokémon Trading Card Game in November 2019. This set served as the final main expansion of the Sun and Moon era, drawing heavily from the themes of tag-team partnerships and the tropical aesthetic of the Alola region. As a regional variant, Alolan Sandslash represents the adaptation of the original Kanto-based species to the icy mountain climates of Alola, transitioning its typing from Ground to Ice and Steel.
The illustration for this card was created by artist kirisAki, who focused on capturing the creature's sharp, crystalline aesthetic within the high-energy, vibrant style characteristic of the late Sun and Moon series. The design emphasizes the defensive capabilities of the Pokémon, consistent with its Steel-type classification. Like many rare cards in this set, it was intended to serve as a bridge between competitive play and the collectible appeal of the expanded regional roster, receiving a standard reception as a quintessential piece of the modern era of the trading card game.
