Sandstorm

Sandstorm is a bold and adventurous Pokémon TCG expansion that captures the raw energy and resilience of Pokémon thriving in harsh, windswept environments. Centered around desert-themed and ancient Pokémon such as Tyranitar, Armaldo, and Cradily, the set embodies themes of endurance, adaptation, and discovery amid nature’s most unforgiving elements. Each card features vivid artwork filled with swirling sand, sunlit dunes, and fossil-rich landscapes that evoke the mystery of forgotten worlds buried beneath the earth.
