Alolan Sandslash SM18 (SM Black Star Promos)
Alolan Sandslash charges straight at you, icy spines bristling and claws out, with shattered rock and ice flying past in a sketchy, motion-heavy style that makes the whole scene feel fast. Art by TOKIYA, this Black Star promo carries the Guardians Rising stamp across the artwork, and fans of the Alola region forms like tracking down these stamped prerelease-style promos for their binders.
Alolan Sandslash-GX SM236 (SM Black Star Promos)
Alolan Sandslash-GX shows the icy Ice-type form lunging forward in a glossy CG render, its frosted quills fanned out like a crown of blades against a swirling blue backdrop dotted with sparkles. Art by 5ban Graphics, it captures that sleek, computer-rendered look of the Sun & Moon GX era. As a Black Star Promo, it appeals to fans of Alolan forms and anyone completing the promo run.
Brock's Sandslash 23/132 (Gym Heroes)
Brock's Sandslash stands in a crouched, claws-forward pose against a grassy hillside and open blue sky, its spiky back glowing with a soft yellow aura, art by Ken Sugimori in the classic flat, clean style of the early sets. Brock's portrait sits in the corner beside the Boulder Badge. Gym Heroes fans chase it as a non-holo rare tied to a favorite Gym Leader.
