5 facts about this card
This Sandshrew is one of the famous pre-release "Trainer Deck A" cards, a special early Base Set printing distributed to prototype Pokémon Leagues before the English Base Set officially launched.
The card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon character designer, which gives this humble common an especially direct link to the franchise’s earliest visual identity.
Its attack, Sand-attack, is drawn straight from the video games, where Sandshrew can learn Sand Attack—making the card feel like a clean translation of early Game Boy battle mechanics into the TCG.
As a Base Set card, this Sandshrew belongs to the very first main Pokémon TCG expansion in English, the release that introduced Generation I Pokémon cards to a huge wave of collectors.
Collectors also chase this card because early prints used different wording on Sand-attack, a small text variation that highlights how experimental the game still was in Pokémon’s earliest TCG era.
