Lore

Why it matters

Provenance

Where it came from

Sandile (69/146) was released as part of the XY expansion, the first set in the Pokémon Trading Card Game's sixth generation. Debuting in February 2014, this set introduced the Fairy-type to the game and signaled a major design shift for the franchise, centering on the themes and creatures featured in the Pokémon X and Y video games for the Nintendo 3DS.

The artwork for this card was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, a veteran artist in the Pokémon TCG field known for his detailed, expressive character work. Arita opted for a clean, minimalist depiction of Sandile in its natural desert environment, emphasizing the creature's characteristic sunglasses-like markings and reptilian form. As a common card, it was designed primarily to bolster the pool of available Darkness-type Pokémon for casual play and set completion during the initial XY rollout.
