# Crushing Hammer (Japanese) #053 — SM1S: Collection Sun

## Summary

Two months ahead of the English Sun & Moon set, Collection Sun put Crushing Hammer in Japanese players' hands, released there in December 2016. The artwork is a red mallet with a black band swinging through a burst of green shards over a bright, glowing backdrop. Uncommon rarity makes it a regular pull, and that coin-flip energy removal is why the earliest printing stays a modest, affordable pickup.
