Latios 10/20 · Dragon Vault

Latios is Pokédex #381, generation 3 (Hoenn). Latios is a Basic Dragon Pokémon with 100 HP.

Latios sits at 10/20 in Dragon Vault, position 10 of 21. Before it is 9 Latias, and after it is 11 Rayquaza. The set belongs to the Black & White series. It was released on October 5, 2012. The printed size is 20. This checklist is longer, at 21 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

The attack Sky Blade lists 20+ damage. The cost is Water, Colorless. If Latias is on your Bench, this attack does 20 more damage. Speed Wing is another attack lists 60 damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Dragon ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "A highly intelligent Pokémon. By folding back its wings in flight, it can overtake jet planes."

Latios (#381) has 36 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 22 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Latios 15/40 in Nintendo Black Star Promos (2003). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Ryo Ueda illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 1. 33 other cards of Latios list a different HP.

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

Dragon Vault set binder is where a full Dragon Vault set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Latios can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
