ICYMI: PokemonTCG: Sword & Shield - LostOrigin delivers a memorable Mimikyu card and TCG debuts (kind of) for Spectrier & Glastrier. Pokemon
\nIn September 2022, Pokémon TCG released the second main series set of 2022. The expansion, Sword & Shield – Lost Origin, came out on September 9th, 2022. It is the eleventh set under the Sword & Shield banner and is the first to include the Lost Zone mechanic, which appears as a teal and purple aura around certain Pokémon. This appears on standard cards, holos, Vs, VSTARs, and even Trainer cards.

Mimikyu stares at the face of Pikachu, the Pokémon whose cuteness it copies in hopes of being beloved by trainers, on a fallen can next to a soda dispenser.
