Latios 41/73 · Shining Legends

Shining Legends is a set in the Sun & Moon series. It was released on October 6, 2017. The printed size is 73. This checklist is longer, at 81 cards. Latios is 41/73, in position 42 of 81 on this checklist. Before it is 40 Shining Mew, and after it is 42 Shining Jirachi. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Latios is a Basic Psychic Pokémon with 110 HP. In the Pokédex this is Latios (#381), generation 3 (Hoenn).

Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this card. The same name is on 721 other cards in the catalog.

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 110 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 1. 33 other cards of Latios list a different HP.

The attack Break Through lists 30 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 30 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Lagoon Flight is another attack lists 70 damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Psychic ×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."

I keep a set binder for Shining Legends, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Shining Legends set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Latios can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
