About Alolan Sandshrew

It lives on snowy mountains. Its steel shell is very hard—so much so, it can't roll its body up into a ball.

Artwork Description

The artwork on this card depicts Alolan Sandshrew cautiously moving across a snowy landscape, its icy armor gleaming under the clear sky, with two others following near a frozen lake surrounded by mountainous terrain and snow-covered trees.

Playability Overview

Alolan Sandshrew offers situational protection with Defense Curl and modest damage with Ice Ball, but its low HP and retreat cost limit its overall competitiveness in most decks.
