Japanese Sandslash Pokemon cards (サンドパン) include prints from the LEGEND, Diamond & Pearl, Sun & Moon and Scarlet & Violet eras in the official card database. We offer two of them as PSA 10 back orders: number 046/070 from our listing’s “SoulSilver Collection”, identified on the listing as Mirror and 1st Edition, and number 028/165 from Pokemon Card 151.
This guide covers what the database prints for both cards — illustrator, HP, attacks and rarity icon — the other Sandslash prints it lists, the separate Alolan Sandslash entries, and where to buy.
Sandslash 046/070 (SoulSilver Collection, Mirror and 1st Edition as our listing names it) is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥66,300 (~$431) — sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms. The Pokemon Card 151 print, 028/165, is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥16,728 (~$109) — sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms. The database lists one entry per number, so it does not record the Mirror, 1st Edition or Master Ball wording.
USD figures convert at ¥154/USD, approximate.
Sandslash Prints We List: At a Glance
Both cards are Stage 1 Fighting-type Sandslash, evolving from Sandshrew (サンド) as the database’s evolution field prints it. Rarity is as shown by the official database icon.
| Number | Set | Rarity | HP | Illustrator |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 046/070 | L1-Bss (set name “SoulSilver Collection” from our listing) | R | 80 | Yukiko Baba |
| 028/165 | 強化拡張パック「ポケモンカード151」 (SV2a) | U | 120 | kodama |
The sections below take each print in turn.
The Print We List: SoulSilver Collection 046/070
The official database lists this card as 046/070 under the set code L1-Bss. The database gives no set-name link for this era, so the name “SoulSilver Collection” comes from our listing, which labels the number L1-S. The card is a Stage 1 with 80 HP, Fighting type, illustrated by Yukiko Baba, and the database rarity icon reads R.
It has two attacks, rendered from the Japanese text. どくばり (Fighting, Colorless) does 30 damage and the Defending Pokemon is Poisoned. みだれひっかき (Fighting, Colorless, Colorless) does 30× damage: flip three coins, and it is 30 damage for each heads. This LEGEND-era print shows no regulation mark, which is expected for a card from before marks were introduced.
Our listing is named “Mirror” and “1ED”. The database has one entry for 046/070 and does not distinguish mirror foil or first-edition versions, so those two attributes come from the listing name alone. See our Japanese 1st Edition cards guide for what that marking covers in general.
This print is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥66,300 (~$431) — sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms. See our PSA 10 back order guide for how that process works.
Pokemon Card 151 028/165
The second print is 028/165 from 強化拡張パック「ポケモンカード151」 (SV2a), which our listing names Pokemon Card 151. The database credits kodama, shows an U rarity icon, and prints Stage 1, 120 HP, Fighting type.
Its attacks, rendered from the Japanese text: じひびき (Fighting) does 30 damage, and the Pokemon that took it cannot retreat during the opponent’s next turn. トゲでえぐる (Fighting, Colorless, Colorless) does 80+ damage, and if the Defending Pokemon has damage counters on it, it does 100 more.
Our listing calls this copy the “Master Ball Mirror” print. The database has one entry for 028/165 and confirms number, rarity, illustrator and text, but it does not record the Master Ball foil pattern, so that wording is the listing’s. It is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥16,728 (~$109) — sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms.
The database page text does not print the regulation mark for this card. Read the mark on the card and compare it with the official regulation page, which lists H, I and J as the Standard marks.
Other Sandslash Prints in the Database
The database lists more Sandslash prints than the two we offer. These are a selection under the name サンドパン, as it prints them:
| Number | Set code | Rarity | Illustrator |
|---|---|---|---|
| 053/100 | DPt3-B | R | Kagemaru Himeno |
| 058/101 | SV6 | U | Nisota Niso |
| 022/054 | SM9b | U | Shigenori Negishi |
The database also catalogues Alolan Sandslash (アローラ サンドパン) under its own card name. Its entries include SM12 052/095 (U, Hasuno), SM5M 002/066 (U, Anesaki Dynamic), SM2K 011/050 (U, TOKIYA) and the promo SMP 217/SM-P (no rarity icon, kirisAki), plus an Alolan Sandslash GX promo, SMP 384/SM-P (no rarity icon, 5ban Graphics). Those are separate card names from the サンドパン prints above, so match the name printed on your copy before using this guide.
Sets in the database follow the timeline in our Japanese Pokemon card sets in order list, which is useful if you need to place a set code such as DPt3-B or SM9b.
How to Read These Cards
The 046/070 print is an old-format card: the attack costs, the HP and the Stage 1 label are read directly off the card, and it predates regulation marks. The R rarity is as shown by the database icon. The 028/165 print follows the modern layout and carries its regulation mark on the card itself.
Our guide to reading Japanese Pokemon cards explains the number, set code and rarity fields, and our rarities guide covers R, U and the modern tiers. A card whose regulation mark is older than H, I or J, or that shows no mark, is not in the current Standard regulation, and that is all the mark tells you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Sandslash prints do you offer as a PSA 10?
Sandslash 046/070 (SoulSilver Collection, Mirror and 1ED as our listing names it) at ¥66,300 (~$431), and 028/165 from Pokemon Card 151 at ¥16,728 (~$109). Both are PSA 10 back orders, sourced to order.
Does the official database confirm the Mirror and 1st Edition marking?
No. The database has one entry per card number and does not record foil pattern or edition, so Mirror and 1ED on the 046/070 listing come from our listing name. The same applies to the Master Ball wording on the 028/165 listing.
What are the HP and type of the two Sandslash cards?
Both are Stage 1 Fighting-type Pokemon. The 046/070 print has 80 HP and the 028/165 print has 120 HP, as the database prints them.
Who illustrated the Sandslash prints we list?
The database credits Yukiko Baba on 046/070 and kodama on 028/165.
Is Alolan Sandslash the same card as Sandslash?
No. The database catalogues Alolan Sandslash (アローラ サンドパン) under a separate card name, with its own prints such as SM12 052/095.
