Sandygast · Silver Tempest, what to know.
About the Sandygast card
Numbered 99 of 217 in Silver Tempest, released in November 2022, Sandygast is a Common, a Basic Fighting-type carrying 80 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Sandygast needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Sandygast carries this Pokédex flavor text: "Grudges of the dead have possessed a mound of sand and become a Pokémon. Sandygast is fond of the shovel on its head."
What is Sandygast worth?
Sandygast is a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Sandygast before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Sandygast is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Sandygast
Raw copies of Sandygast are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Sandygast is the practical move.
