We already knew that the Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield—Lost Origin expansion was launching Sept. 9th, 2022, but now we’ve learned that there’s a special way for you to pick up this expansion early.
Those who want to go all-out on this expansion can instead purchase the Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield—Lost Origin Build & Battle Box on August 26th, 2022, giving you quite a jump on the competition! Obviously this package will be a bit more pricey than the expansion alone, but you get a lot of bang for your buck!
The Prerelease format allows players to compete with a 40-card deck, with four Prize cards set aside at the start of play, as opposed to a 60-card deck with six Prize cards. Each Build & Battle Box includes a 40-card ready-to-play deck featuring key cards from current and prior sets as well as one of four unique foil promo cards to boost your deck. Depending on which promo card you get, you could add the always-spooky Gengar, musclebound Machamp, fantastic-finned Finneon, or flower-picking Comfey to your deck and collection.
The Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield—Lost Origin Build & Battle Box is priced at $20 and will be available at select retailers August 26th, 2022.
