Provenance

Where it came from

The Latios XY79 promo card was released as part of the XY Black Star Promos set, which served as a collection of promotional cards distributed alongside the main expansion sets of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's XY era. This particular card was released in 2015 to coincide with the broader multimedia promotion of the Legendary Pokémon Latios, following its prominence in the Hoenn-region remakes, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

The card features artwork by artist Hitoshi Ariga, a veteran illustrator for the Pokémon franchise known for his clean, dynamic style. Ariga’s design captures Latios in a high-speed flight pose, emphasizing its status as an Eon Pokémon, and the card was produced as part of a blister pack set, allowing collectors a targeted way to obtain this specific Dragon-type variant without relying on booster pack randomization.
