Its Ability

Poison Paybackポイズンの見返り

If Dark Sandslash is your Active Pokémon and is damaged by an opponent's attack (even if Dark Sandslash is Knocked Out), the Attacking Pokémon is now Poisoned.ダークサンドスラッシュがアクティブなポケモンであり、相手の攻撃によって損傷を受けている場合（暗いサンドスラッシュがノックアウトされたとしても）、攻撃するポケモンは現在毒されています。

Its attacks

Swift迅速

50

This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness, Resistance, Poké-Powers, Poké-Bodies, or any other effects on the Defending Pokémon.この攻撃の損傷は、脱力感、抵抗、ポケの提唱、ポケボディ、または防御ポケモンに対するその他の影響の影響を受けません。

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    It retreats for free. You can pull it back to the Bench whenever you like, even with no Energy on it at all.

  2. A strength

    It has an Ability, Poison Payback. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,624 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Grass ×2. Against a Grass Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,624 tournament lists we have read, 3,564 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.

The other cards of this Pokémon

Two cards of the same Pokémon can be worth wildly different amounts — it depends on the set, the rarity and the artwork. We put all 24 Sandslash cards on one page, priciest first.
