Sword & Shield—Lost Origin, the newest addition to the Pokémon Trading Card Game, will be available on September 9, 2022, but you may visit your nearby hobby shop to play with it now! Select shops will start selling the Sword & Shield—Lost Origin Build & Battle Box on August 27, 2022, offering fans the option to participate in a Pre-release battle and try out the newest expansion before its scheduled release. Instead of using a 60-card deck with six Prize cards, players can compete in the Pre-release format using a 40-card deck with four Prize cards placed aside at the beginning of play. The format is ideal for both offering seasoned players a glimpse into everything Lost Origin has to offer and for quickly introducing new players to the fascinating world of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. A 40-card ready-to-play deck comprising important cards from recent and older sets is included in each Build & Battle Box, along with one of four special foil promo cards to help you improve your deck.
