Guardians Rising
It lives on snowy mountains. Its steel shell is very hard—so much so, it can't roll its body up into a ball.

#19 Alolan Sandshrew - Guardians Rising (sm2)
Alolan Sandshrew is a Water-type Pokémon with 60 HP, appearing in the Sun & Moon series within the Guardians Rising set released on May 5, 2017. Its design is illustrated by artist Mizue, featuring a flavor text that describes its habitat on snowy mountains and its exceptionally hard steel shell, which prevents it from curling into a ball. The card includes two attacks: Defense Curl, which allows the player to flip a coin and potentially prevent all damage to this Pokémon during the opponent’s next turn, and Ice Ball, a move requiring one Water and two Colorless energy to deal 30 damage. Alolan Sandshrew has a retreat cost of one Colorless energy and no resistances, making it vulnerable to Metal-type attacks with double effectiveness. The card’s number is 19, and it is classified as a Common rarity. Its typing and abilities align with the Alolan evolution line, emphasizing its adaptation to colder environments. The card’s mechanics reflect its defensive capabilities and ice-based offensive strategy.
