Provenance

Where it came from

The Latios-EX card, cataloged as XY72 within the XY Black Star Promos series, was released in 2015 as part of the promotional expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. These promotional cards were designed to coincide with the release of special boxed products, in this instance the Latios-EX Box, which offered players a guaranteed way to acquire the legendary Dragon-type Pokémon rather than relying on the randomness of standard booster packs.

The card features artwork by Toyste Beach, a frequent contributor to the series during the XY era. The aesthetic follows the established template for the EX subset, utilizing a holographic foil treatment and a clean, high-contrast illustration style that highlights the sleek, jet-like anatomy of Latios. As a Dragon-type card, it reflects the mechanical complexity introduced in that generation, where such cards often required multiple energy types, making them a significant tactical consideration for players at the time.
