Provenance

Where it came from

Sandile (64/108) was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion titled Dark Explorers, which launched in the spring of 2012. This set was primarily centered around the Unova region and served to introduce various Pokémon introduced in the Black and White video games, focusing heavily on the Dark-type theme which complemented the set's namesake and the presence of legendary Pokémon like Darkrai-EX.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who is known for a clean, accessible aesthetic that emphasizes the character's personality. As a common card, it was designed to be easily obtainable within booster packs to bolster player decks with basic, low-cost evolution lines. It is valued by collectors primarily for its place within the broader Unova-era TCG narrative and the distinct artistic style of the Black and White series.
