What it does
If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing.
To protect itself from attackers, it curls up into a ball. It lives in arid regions with minimal rainfall.

Where it came from
The Sandshrew card from the Mysterious Treasures expansion was released in 2007 by The Pokémon Company International. This set served as the third installment in the Diamond & Pearl series for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, designed to introduce players to the Sinnoh region's mechanics and the refreshed card layout that debuted with the transition to the Generation IV era.
The illustration was crafted by artist Kagemaru Himeno, a long-standing contributor to the franchise known for a soft, approachable aesthetic. In this piece, Sandshrew is depicted in a natural, sandy environment, maintaining the character's core identity as a desert-dwelling burrower. As a common card, it was distributed widely in booster packs, serving as a functional, low-cost utility card intended for both casual play and set completion.
