Sandslash Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Sandslash δ is part of the groundbreaking EX Delta Species expansion, the set that introduced Delta Species Pokémon as off-type variants created by strange electromagnetic radiation from Holon Research Tower.
Set Lore
What makes this card instantly memorable to collectors is its unusual Fighting/Metal typing, because Delta Species cards deliberately reimagined familiar Pokémon with unexpected types while keeping the experimental Holon identity front and center.
Card History
Its Poké-Body, Delta Storm, specifically pings every one of your opponent’s Pokémon-ex between turns, giving Sandslash δ a very era-specific anti-ex role that ties it tightly to the ex metagame it was printed into.
Artist
This card was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most celebrated artists in Pokémon TCG history and the illustrator of the original Base Set Charizard, which gives even a non-holo rare like Sandslash δ extra collector appeal.
In-Game
Slash, one of Sandslash δ’s attacks, is a direct nod to the main-series games, where Sandslash can learn Slash, helping the card still feel rooted in the Pokémon’s in-game identity despite its altered Delta Species typing.
