This is a major week for Pokémon TCG fans. Japanese collectors have had the Pokémon GO set for about a week, English-language collectors will get it starting this Friday, and news has come out now regarding the next sets in both Japan and English. Let's talk about Lost Abyss, which will be released on July 15th, 2022. This set will bring back the Lost Zone mechanic with a brand new look that will appear on various different card types in the form of smoky, colorful tendrils. Leading the set is Origin Forme Giratina which will appear as both a V and VSTAR. Along with the release of this set, the Pokémon Center Japan has revealed a line-up of products themed to Lost Abyss and the two associated decks coming out with the expansion featuring Zeraora and Deoxys. Let's take a look at the upcoming July 2022 Pokémon Center products.
