Sandshrew [Reverse Holo] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Sandshrew #82 is one of the EX Delta Species commons that was also printed as a Reverse Holofoil, giving even a humble common a distinctly collectible chase version in this Holon-era set.
Set Lore
EX Delta Species was the set that introduced Delta Species Pokémon and the Holon storyline, making this Sandshrew part of the first wave of cards tied to the strange Holon radiation experiments that defined one of the ex era’s most beloved themes.
Card History
This card’s attack spread is a neat ex-era design touch: Dig Under can place damage on any opposing Pokémon without applying Weakness or Resistance, while Scratch keeps the card grounded as a simple early-game Basic.
Artist
Tomokazu Komiya illustrated this Sandshrew, and his offbeat, storybook-like style has made Komiya cards a collecting lane of their own for fans who chase specific illustrators as much as specific Pokémon.
Cultural Impact
For many collectors, Reverse Holo commons from EX Delta Species feel special because the set sits at the start of the long-running Delta Species craze, a gimmick that gave familiar Pokémon a distinctly experimental mid-2000s identity.
