Alolan Sandslash GX SM236 Pokémon Sun & Moon Promos Raw

Alolan Sandslash GX SM236 is a powerful Water-type Stage 1 Pokémon-GX card from the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos, released as a promotional card in the SM236 designation. With 200 HP and a unique Full Art design, it showcases the icy Alolan form of Sandslash in dynamic, holographic detail. Its "Spiky Shield" Ability ensures retaliation by placing 3 damage counters on any attacking Pokémon that damages it, even if it’s Knocked Out.

The card features two strong attacks: "Frost Breath," dealing 120 damage, and the GX attack "Spiky Storm GX," which inflicts 100 damage to each of your opponent’s Pokémon that already has damage counters. This makes it especially effective in mid-to-late game scenarios. With a Weakness to Metal and a Retreat Cost of two, it balances offense and defense, fitting well in aggressive or control-oriented decks.
