Where it came from
The Latias promo card, numbered SM87, was released in 2019 as part of the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos series. It was distributed specifically within the Legends of Johto GX Premium Collection box, which celebrated the iconic Legendary Pokémon from the second generation of games. The set was designed to offer players and collectors a high-quality physical representation of these mythic creatures, often serving as a bridge between the core video games and the ongoing trading card game narrative.
The card features artwork by Hiroki Asada, an illustrator recognized for his dynamic and vibrant approach to Pokémon card design. In this piece, Asada focuses on capturing the sleek, aerodynamic grace of Latias while utilizing the contemporary holographic foiling techniques standard for the Sun & Moon era. Upon its release, the card was well-received by fans of the franchise for its clean aesthetic and its utility as a playable psychic-type card, quickly becoming a staple for collectors focused on the late Sun & Moon promotional expansions.
