What it does
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may look at the top 5 cards in your deck. Choose as many Fighting Energy cards as you like, show them to your opponent, and put them into your hand. Put the other cards back on top of your deck. Shuffle your deck afterward. This power can't be used if Sandslash is affected by a Special Condition.
Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed and 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 Supreme Victors expansion was released in 2009 as part of the wider Platinum series in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was designed to highlight the powerful Pokémon utilized by the Sinnoh region's elite trainers, drawing heavily from the themes of the Pokémon Platinum video game. The card features artwork by Midori Harada, an established illustrator within the franchise known for a dynamic style that emphasizes movement and the specific elemental characteristics of each creature.
As a Rare card within the set, this Sandslash entry focuses on its role as a Fighting-type Pokémon, emphasizing its burrowing nature and defensive capabilities. The Supreme Victors set was generally received by players as a significant addition to the competitive landscape of the time, bridging the gap between older mechanics and the introduction of more complex card interactions. The design reflects the mid-era aesthetic of the game, characterized by a clean layout that showcases the artist's character-focused composition.
