Ken Sugimori
Ken Sugimori is credited on more than 1,100 Pokémon TCG cards from 1999 to 2022, spanning sets such as Base, Gym Heroes, and Neo Genesis. The work favors clear, character-forward staging, playful moods, and vibrant-to-pastel color palettes with balanced, simple compositions.
“The card features Sandshrew, a small, mouse-like Pokémon with a rounded body and a sandy-colored exterior. It is positioned on a surface that appears to be sandy, with a blurred background suggesting a natural environment. The Pokémon has its arms slightly raised and is facing forward.”

Sand Attack
If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing.
