Latias ★ is a Basic Star Colorless Pokémon with 80 HP. In the Pokédex this is Latias (#380), generation 3 (Hoenn).

Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this card. The same name is on 471 other cards in the catalog.

Latias (#380) has 33 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 23 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 ★. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo Star. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 30 other cards of Latias list a different HP.

The attack Healing Light lists 10 damage. The cost is Colorless. Remove 1 damage counter from each of your Pokémon (including Latias Star). Shooting Star is another attack lists 50+ damage. The cost is Fire, Water, Psychic. If the Defending Pokémon is Pokémon-ex, discard all Energy cards attached to Latias Star and this attack does 50 damage plus 100 more damage. Weakness is Colorless ×2. Resistance is Psychic -30 and Fighting -30. Retreat cost is 1. The card text says: You can't have more than 1 Pokémon Star in your deck.

I keep a set binder for Deoxys, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Deoxys set binder. 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 and Prism Star and Star cards. I still need this card.
