5 facts about this card
Sandile #216 is one of the original Illustration Rares that debuted with the English Scarlet & Violet base set, making it part of the rarity style that helped define the era’s new collector-focused look.
This card is officially listed as Sandile 216/198 in the Scarlet & Violet checklist, so its numbering past the main set immediately marks it as a secret-style pull collectors chase beyond the standard card list.
The card’s art is credited to Nurikabe, whose name is attached in official set listings and gives this sleepy desert scene the storybook feel that makes Scarlet & Violet Illustration Rares so memorable.
Sandile’s flavor on this card mirrors its video-game identity perfectly, because official Pokédex entries describe it moving under the sand like it is swimming while using that behavior to stay hidden and regulate its temperature.
Sandile also has a fun anime legacy: a standout wild Sandile first appeared in 'A Sandile Gusher of Change!' and later evolved into the sunglasses-wearing Krookodile that became one of Ash’s Unova team members.
