New Lucario, Shaymin cards

Go-Pokemon.com, the official English-language Pokémon Trading Card Game Web site, has begun to reveal cards from the next English-language set, Platinum. According to the site, 10 cards will be revealed before the actual pre-release begins the last weekend of January. Only two cards have been revealed at the moment.

So far, the cards revealed are Giratina (Platinum 10) and Honchkrow G (Platinum 77). Giratina was revealed on Tuesday, with Honchkrow G following two days later. The Giratina card is significant because it is the first English card release of Giratina's Origin Forme. Honchkrow G is the first Pokémon SP to be revealed in English. Cyrus, the leader of Team Galactic, owns the Honchkrow.

Two additional cards have been spotted in videos and other sources: a POP promo pre-release Lucario card originating from the Entry Pack DPt and a Shaymin card originating from Intense Fight in the Destroyed Sky, the Japanese expansion of Stormfront.

The Platinum expansion is expected to contain 133 cards, and it will be released on Feb. 11 in North America.
