Pokemon Sword and Shield released last November on Nintendo Switch, introducing the Galar region to fans across the world. Now, Sword and Shield has arrived in the Pokemon Trading Card Game as the latest expansion. The expansion officially released today, adding 202 base cards and 14 secret cards to the long-running TCG.
The new set contains Galar region Pokemon like Wooloo and Yamper, and Galarian designs of old Pokemon like Galarian Ponyta. The Sword and Shield expansion also brings more than 15 new Pokemon V, including legendaries Zacian and Zamazenta. Further, Sword and Shield's main new battle mechanic, Gigantamaxing, is represented in special VMAX cards. We know that Gen 1 Pokemon Snorlax and Lapras account for two of the four VMAX cards.

If you want a pre-made 60-card deck that you can use in both the physical card game and online game, there are three themed decks available at launch: Water, Fire, and Grass. Each deck contains the final evolution form of one of Sword and Shield's starters, so you'll get Inteleon, Rillaboom, or Cinderace out of the gate. Walmart is selling themed decks for $13, and unlike at Amazon, you can pick which deck you want.

Sword and Shield Booster BoxRemember the days of going to the store and buying one or two booster packs? As a kid, I always wondered what it would be like to open a whole booster box instead of a couple of packs. Well, here you go. Booster boxes contain 35 card packs, and you actually save a decent amount of money buying packs in bulk. Amazon is selling Sword and Shield Booster boxes for $100, which is $50 less than its list price.
