Where it came from
The Latias card, numbered SWSH171, was released as part of the Pokémon Sword & Shield Black Star Promos series. This specific card was distributed in 2022 as a tie-in with the release of the 'Astral Radiance' expansion, often featured in dedicated blister packs or promotional collections sold at major retail outlets. The inclusion of Latias in this set helped bridge the transition period for the Dragon-type mechanic within the TCG during the Sword & Shield era.
The artwork for this promo was illustrated by Atsushi Furusawa, a prolific artist known for his vibrant, character-focused depictions of Pokémon. Furusawa aimed to capture the Eon Pokémon’s agile and aerodynamic nature, utilizing soft shading and a sense of movement that complements the Dragon typing. Upon its release, the card was well-received by collectors for its accessible availability and the classic, fluid design aesthetic consistent with Furusawa’s contribution to the modern era of the trading card game.
