Provenance

Where it came from

Sandile (83/149) was released in 2017 as part of the Sun & Moon base expansion, which introduced the Alola region to the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set marked a significant transition in the game's aesthetic, moving toward more vibrant, modern card templates and the introduction of GX mechanics. Sandile represents the ground-dwelling nature of the species, captured here in its natural desert habitat to emphasize its Ground and Dark typing.

The artwork for this card was provided by illustrator Midori Harada, a veteran contributor to the franchise known for a clean, expressive style. In this depiction, the artist aimed to highlight the creature's menacing yet subtle silhouette as it hides beneath the sand. Upon its release, the card was widely distributed in booster packs as a common entry, serving as a functional building block for players looking to incorporate Dark-type synergy into their decks during the early Sun & Moon competitive era.
