About Sandy Shocks ex (Ancient Roar [SV4K] 089/066)

The SAR Sandy Shocks ex card from the Japanese Ancient Roar [SV4K] expansion has drawn the attention of collectors with its bold, mechanical design and atmospheric setting. Illustrated by Toshinao Aoki, this Special Art Rare depicts the Paradox Pokémon thundering across a barren desert landscape, perfectly capturing its ancient, magnetic energy and primal power. The use of earthy tones and dynamic composition reflects the untamed nature of this futuristic relic, making it a visual appeal among the set’s featured Pokémon.

Although the Pokémon itself may not be among the most popular or widely loved by the community, this card still holds a certain value, especially when pulled directly from a booster box. Like other SAR cards in Ancient Roar [SV4K], the Sandy Shocks ex card is notably rare, typically appearing once per booster box, if at all. This limited pull rate, coupled with its distinctive aesthetic and gameplay relevance, has positioned it as a prized addition for both collectors and fans of Paradox Pokémon.
