Latios is Pokédex #381, generation 3 (Hoenn). Latios is a Basic Colorless Pokémon with 90 HP.

Latios sits at HGSS11/25 in HGSS Black Star Promos, position 11 of 25. Before it is HGSS10 Latias, and after it is HGSS12 Cleffa. The set belongs to the HeartGold & SoulSilver series. It was released on 10 February 2010. The printed size is 25, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Promo.

Luster Float is listed as Poké-Body. If you have Latias in play, the Retreat Cost for Latios is 0. The attack Infinite Wing lists 80 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Discard 2 Energy attached to Latios. Weakness is Colorless ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It understands human speech and is highly intelligent. It is a tender Pokémon that dislikes fighting."

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 90 HP. Both list the rarity Promo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Wataru Kawahara illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 34 other cards of Latios list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Wataru Kawahara. I count 35 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

HGSS Black Star Promos set binder is where a full HGSS Black Star Promos 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). Themed lists that include this exact card are Latias and Latios. I still need this card.
