· Needles, originally [ぜんしんばり 𝐙𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐢 – “Advanced needle”], will show up again on SV Sandslash as a singular ‘Needle’, for whatever reason.
· This is the only appearance of this “Sandstorm” attack. The translation is 100% correct, サンドストーム is pronounced ‘𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐦’, but it is not related to the video game attack [すなあらし 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐚 𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢], which does *translate* as Sandstorm, but has never appeared in the TCG.
