Provenance

Where it came from

The Alolan Sandslash card, numbered SM127, was released in 2018 as part of the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos set. This card was distributed specifically within the Alolan Sandslash-GX Box, a retail product designed to showcase the regional variant of the classic Pokémon, which was first introduced in the Alolan region during the seventh generation of games.

The illustration is credited to Shin Nagasawa, an artist well-regarded in the Pokémon Trading Card Game community for his dynamic, action-oriented style. His work on this card emphasizes the jagged, ice-covered design of the Alolan form, aiming to capture the character's icy temperament and defensive capabilities. The card was well-received by players for its utility in competitive play during the Sun & Moon era, particularly due to its type advantage and characteristic art style.
