Latias (#380) has 33 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 24 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Latias 14/40 in Nintendo Black Star Promos (2003). That card is named Latias, while this one is Latias-EX. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 160 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Ultra. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Ryo Ueda illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 32 other cards of Latias list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ryo Ueda. I count 462 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Plasma Freeze set binder is where a full Plasma Freeze set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Latias can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Latias and Latios. I still need this card.
