Supreme Victors is a set in the Platinum series. It was released on August 19, 2009. The printed size is 147. This checklist is longer, at 153 cards. Sandslash is 42/147, in position 42 of 153 on this checklist. Before it is 41 Sableye G, and after it is 43 Seaking. The listed rarity is Rare.
Sandslash is a Stage 1 Fighting Pokémon with 90 HP. The card lists level 32. In the Pokédex this is Sandslash (#028), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Sandshrew. In this catalog that name is Sandshrew (#027).
Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this card. The same name is on 656 other cards in the catalog.
Sandslash (#028) has 23 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Sandslash 41/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 20 other cards of Sandslash list a different HP.
Dig Down is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may look at the top 5 cards in your deck. Choose as many Fighting Energy cards as you like, show them to your opponent, and put them into your hand. Put the other cards back on top of your deck. Shuffle your deck afterward. This power can't be used if Sandslash is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Needle lists 40 damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed and Poisoned. Weakness is Water +20. Resistance is Lightning -20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It curls up, then rolls into foes with its back. Its sharp spines inflict severe damage."
I keep a set binder for Supreme Victors, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Supreme Victors set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Sandslash can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
