Sandstorm

Sandstorm is a 102-card expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It was released in North America on November 18, 2003. The set primarily focuses on Pokémon from the Hoenn region, primarily Water, Fire, and Fighting-type Pokémon, and introduces three new Trainer cards.

The set's rarest card is the Ho-Oh ex, whose upside down shine can be seen from the card's corner. Sandstorm also includes the first cards to feature legendary Pokémon Rayquaza, Kyogre, and Groudon, with all three appearing in EX Holo form. Other cards were released featuring two or all three of these legendary Pokémon.
