Four ‘Lost Link’ Cards and Promos Revealed!

As reported back in January, the next Japanese set is a 40-card mini-set called Lost Link, which will feature cards with attacks related to the Lost Zone mechanic. After a few weeks of no updates, the official Pokemon card website just revealed four cards from the set, three of which we have not seen before; Bangiras has translated them below, and you can click their thumbnails for larger images.

Four new promos were revealed as well. Zangoose and Lost Remover will be given out at events like Japan’s Gym Challenges; they are actually from Lost Link, but are future reprints with the set logo’s stamp. Two unrelated promos the site also posted are Espeon and Umbreon, both Pokemon Prime, which will be given to players who win an almost impossible amount of battles under the Pokemon Card Game’s point system. They will each be a “Special Rank” promo, which we assume will be worth around 7,200 points each (a Raichu Prime promo was released last year as a “Hyper Rank” promo, worth 5,200 points – only one has been spotted on the Internet, which Heerosferret bought from an auction for $500). They will probably be rarer than the old Japanese Espeon * and Umbreon * promos. Translations and images of these are further below.
