picThe official TCG website has posted information about two new Shaymin cards. Below is information about the two cards. You can click on either card to get a higher resolution.

The Gratitude Pokémon Shaymin (Platinum, 14/127) premiers in the Pokémon TCG with 2 fantastic attacks. Don't let its cute demeanor fool you—this Grass-type Pokémon plays for keeps! Shaymin's Flower Aroma attack delivers only 10 damage, but it causes the Defending Pokémon to be Asleep—no coin flip required. It also removes 2 damage counters from Shaymin, which is important since it has a relatively low 70 Hit Points. Its Damage Aid attack has the ability to hit the Defending Pokémon for 80 damage, and it requires only 2 Energy to execute. The attack lands for an immediate 30, and if the Defending Pokémon is affected by a Special Condition (which it could be, thanks to Flower Aroma), the attack does 30 damage plus 50 more damage. Special Conditions are then removed from the Defending Pokémon, unless of course it is already Knocked Out!

The Sky Forme of Shaymin (Platinum, 15/127) enters the battle with 80 Hit Points and two attacks. Shaymin's Growth attack allows you to attach a Grass Energy card from your hand to Shaymin. It doesn't inflict any damage, but it also doesn't require any Energy to execute. Attach 2 Energy cards of any type to Shaymin, and it can perform Air Slash to deliver a quick 40 damage. You'll have to flip a coin after the attack is complete, and if you get tails, discard an Energy attached to Shaymin. But this isn't so bad, since you can just replace the Energy on the next turn. This newly discovered Pokémon is a welcome addition to the Pokémon Trading Card Game!
