- A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
- Needs Darkness Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Darkness type, weak to Grass ×2 — a Grass attacker doing ≥35 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- Currently Standard-legal — usable in the main rotating format.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Sandile is real?
Sandile is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
