5 facts about this card
Dark Sandslash stands out as a classic ex-era “Dark Pokémon” twist, and this card even keeps that outlaw feel mechanically by making the attacker Poisoned through its Poison Payback Poké-Body.
EX Team Rocket Returns was the ex Series set that brought Team Rocket back into the spotlight, making Dark Sandslash part of one of the era’s most villain-themed expansions.
This card’s printed rule that Dark Sandslash is both Fighting and Darkness type reflects the ex-era dual-type design that helped villain-aligned Pokémon feel especially dangerous and unusual in binders.
For longtime Game Boy fans, Sandslash already had nostalgic weight as part of the Sandshrew line that was version-exclusive in the original Pokémon games, giving this darker Team Rocket version an extra retro pull.
Masakazu Fukuda is one of the most recognizable illustrators of the Pokémon TCG’s early decades, so Dark Sandslash carries the appeal of being tied to an artist with a deep footprint across card, pack, and deck artwork.
