Sandy Shocks #989

Sandy Shocks is the Paradox Pokemon and ancient counterpart of Magneton — an Electric/Ground-type primordial creature from the deep past, its magnetic spheres replaced by organic electromagnetic spines that generate powerful fields as it moves across ancient terrain — and a Prismatic Evolutions special art at $26 leads a six-card catalog where two entries exceed $8, making it one of the most valuable Paradox Pokemon catalogs in the entire Paldea wave.
