The master set counts 149 Reverse Holofoil, 127 Normal and 90 Holofoil. It leaves out 18 Play Pokemon Stamp, 18 Play Pokemon Stamp Holofoil, 10 Pumpkin Pikachu Stamp, 6 Shao Tong Yen and 20 more in 11 other printings.

Its Trainer Gallery (30 cards) is part of this expansion, listed on its own. Together they are 247 cards and 396 unique printings in the master set.

Sword & Shield—Lost Origin returns to the Lost Zone and the distorted world associated with Giratina. Cards sent to the Lost Zone cannot normally be recovered, but several strategies become stronger as more cards accumulate there. Giratina, Hisuian Zoroark, Aerodactyl, and other Pokémon appear across warped landscapes, ancient ruins, and glowing dimensional spaces. Its main card pool draws from Japan’s Lost Abyss and Dark Phantasma, with a few Battle Region cards and a Trainer Gallery from VMAX Climax.

Giratina VSTAR is the expansion’s defining card, with its alternate-art version presenting one of the era’s most complex and surreal illustrations. Hisuian Zoroark VSTAR, Aerodactyl V, and Rotom V add further collector targets, while Comfey and other Lost Zone cards formed a highly influential competitive engine. A Trainer Gallery continues the character-art subset, featuring Pikachu, Gengar, and several Pokémon with their Trainers. Radiant Pokémon and gold VSTAR cards provide additional rarity layers. Lost Origin is notable for aligning theme and gameplay exceptionally well: the strange visual world is matched by a strategy that deliberately removes resources from ordinary play. It gives the late Sword & Shield era a darker, more experimental chapter centred on Giratina’s power.
