#41 Sandslash - Fossil (base3)
Sandslash is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a Lightning resistance of -30 and a Grass weakness of ×2. It has a retreat cost of one Colorless energy and can use two attacks: Slash, which costs two Colorless energy to deal 20 damage, and Fury Swipes, requiring two Fighting energy to inflict 20× damage based on coin flips. The Fury Swipes attack flips three coins, dealing 20 damage multiplied by the number of heads. Sandslash’s design reflects its ability to curl into a spiny ball for defense and mobility, as described in its flavor text. The card was released in the Base set under the Fossil series on October 10, 1999, and is classified as Uncommon rarity. Artist Ken Sugimori’s illustration captures the Pokémon’s distinctive appearance. The card’s themecolor is a warm ochre, aligning with its rugged, earthy aesthetic. Its balanced stats and dual attack options make it a versatile choice for gameplay strategies.
