Lost Origin

Pokémon Lost Origin

Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield—Lost Origin (swsh11) was released on 9 September 2022 as the eleventh expansion of the Sword & Shield series, putting the eerie Lost Zone mechanic front and centre with Giratina VSTAR as its haunting marquee Pokémon. Collectors prize this set for its stunning alternate-art cards, a 30-card Trainer Gallery subset, and a rich roster of VSTAR and VMAX powerhouses that made it one of the most talked-about releases of the Sword & Shield era.

Which Pokémon cards are in Lost Origin?

Lost Origin contains 247 cards in total (including secret rares), featuring six Pokémon VSTAR—Giratina, Aerodactyl, Magnezone, Drapion, Hisuian Goodra, and Hisuian Zoroark—alongside Kyurem VMAX and three Radiant Pokémon: Radiant Gardevoir, Radiant Hisuian Sneasler, and Radiant Steelix. The biggest chase cards are the Giratina V alternate art, the Aerodactyl VSTAR rainbow rare, and the gold Pikachu VMAX secret rare, while the 30-card Trainer Gallery subset delivers stunning artwork combining Trainers and Pokémon—highlights include Mew VMAX and Nessa from the Trainer Gallery.
