Alolan Sandshrew: Rarity & Collectibility
Alolan Sandshrew in its sought-after Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #004/012 of the McDonald's Promos 2019 set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
How Rare & Valuable Is Alolan Sandshrew?
In 2026, a Near Mint Alolan Sandshrew (Common, McDonald's Promos 2019 #004/012) changes hands at roughly $4.09, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $4.09, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.08. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $4.09, Lightly Played $3.34, Moderately Played $1.84, Heavily Played $1.03, Damaged $1.08 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
