Release information
This card was released in the English Base Set, originating from the Japanese Expansion Pack. Before the TCG was officially released in North America, prototype Pokémon Leagues were given the Trainer Deck A, which included this card. Like all of the other cards in this deck, this print has a red border and "Trainer Deck A" printed on the back. It was later reprinted in the English Base Set 2 and Legendary Collection expansions.
Trivia
Early prints of the card had the final clause read "this attack does nothing" instead of "that attack does nothing".
Origin
Sand-Attack is a move in the Pokémon games that Sandshrew can learn. This card's English Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue, whereas the Japanese entry comes from Pokémon Red and Green.
