What it does
During your opponent's next turn, if Sandslash is damaged by an opponent's attack (even if Sandslash is Knocked Out), put 4 damage counters on the Attacking Pokémon.
If the Defending Pokémon already has any damage counters on it, that Pokémon is now Poisoned.
It curls up, then rolls into foes with its back. Its sharp spines inflict severe damage.

Where it came from
The Sandslash card from the Mysterious Treasures expansion was released in 2007 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's Diamond & Pearl series. This set was notable for introducing Pokémon from the Sinnoh region and incorporating unique mechanics like Pokémon LV.X, reflecting the aesthetic shift toward the generation four transition in the video game franchise.
The artwork features Sandslash in a dynamic, desert-themed composition typical of the era's focus on showcasing elemental typings. The card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the primary character designer for the Pokémon series, whose work defines the consistent visual language of the game. It was received by the player base as a reliable uncommon card, valued for its defensive utility in the competitive meta of the late 2000s.
