Provenance

Where it came from

Released in May 2003 as part of the Skyridge expansion, this card represents the final set produced by Wizards of the Coast for the Pokémon Trading Card Game before the license transitioned to The Pokémon Company. Developed during a transitional period for the game, the set is highly regarded by collectors for its unique card designs and technical mechanics, including the inclusion of Crystal Pokémon and the integration of the Nintendo e-Reader peripheral.

The artwork for this card was created by Midori Harada, a prolific artist in the franchise known for a soft, watercolor-influenced style. In this depiction, the artist focuses on the earthy, subterranean nature of Sandshrew, utilizing the set's distinct frame layout to emphasize the card's Fighting-type classification. Like many common cards from the late Wizards of the Coast era, it serves as a piece of ephemeral gaming history, marking the conclusion of an influential partnership in the hobby.
