[Update 21 May 2025] The price of the Latias ex card has recently risen to 24,000 JPY (~US$170) per PSA 10 copy\u2014largely due to the demand for the card due to Latias’ considerable popularity in the Pok\u00e9mon community.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Update 28 Nov 2024] Following this card’s international release in Surging Sparks [SSP] and the addition of cards from that set into tournament play, this Latias ex card almost immediately emerged as a major metagame force. It has already become a key part of the Miraidon ex deck<\/a>; several other decks have also seen experimentation with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gameplay-wise, Latias ex’s standout feature is Skyliner, its Ability. Skyliner negates the retreat cost of all of the player’s Basic Pok\u00e9mon, adding much consistency to the deck’s early-game options regardless of whether the player opts for setup or aggression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Latias is a Pok\u00e9mon best remembered for two reasons. The first is as one of the two roaming Legendary Pok\u00e9mon introduced in third-generation video games Pok\u00e9mon Ruby and Sapphire; Latias was exclusive to Sapphire. The second is due to its major role in Pok\u00e9mon Heroes, a 2002 Pok\u00e9mon anime movie in which Latias was spotlighted throughout; the movie culminated in one of the most iconic scenes in the history of the Pok\u00e9mon anime. As such, it’s not all that surprising that the Special Art Rare (SAR) Latias ex cards ended up being one of the biggest gets of newly-released Pok\u00e9mon TCG set Paradise Dragona [SV7a]<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Latias ex (Paradise Dragona [SV7a] 087\/064) <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the card’s rarity of SAR, another factor which will certainly impress buyers is the background illustration. The illustration by OKACHEKE depicts Latias ex flying at dusk over the city of Mesagoza. In the Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet video games, Mesagoza is the nearest city to Area Four of the South Province; in Scarlet and Violet’s DLC The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, Latias can be encountered in Area Four if the player has obtained the Latias Treat from Snacksworth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dragon\/Psychic-type Legendary Pok\u00e9mon is the counterpart of Latios; this fact can clearly be seen when combining this card’s illustration with that of the Art Rare (AR) Latios card from Paradise Dragona [SV7a]. This feature has elevated the value of the Latias ex card; however, it somewhat surprisingly hasn’t done likewise in the case of the Latios card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The card’s holofoil adds further visual appeal. It brings out the impact of the sun’s rays at sunset while also making it appears as though the rays are reflecting off the surface of the river which Latias ex is flying over. This therefore makes the imagery appear more life-like and aesthetically striking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
