Latios

Description

The 2017 Pokémon SM Black Star Promos Latios SM136 Holo promo card offers collectors a distinct addition to the Pokémon TCG catalog. This Basic Dragon-type card features the intelligent Latios, a Pokémon known for its ability to understand human speech and its tender nature that dislikes fighting. The card showcases a striking holo finish, enhancing its visual appeal for display and collection. Designed by artist Kouki Saitou, this release is part of the SM Black Star Promos series, which provided exclusive cards through various events and promotions. The card's gameplay mechanics allow players to search their deck for a basic Energy card and attach it to Latios, followed by shuffling the deck. Its powerful attack, Luster Purge, deals 140 damage but requires a coin flip, with tails resulting in the discard of all attached Energy, adding a strategic element to its use in play. Collectors value this card for its unique design and the character it represents. Latios, with its Pokédex number 381, holds a special place in the Pokémon universe, making this promo card a desirable item for those who appreciate both the lore and the strategic depth of the TCG. The holo treatment adds a layer of sophistication, making it a standout piece in any Pokémon card collection. Whether for completing a set or adding a cherished character to a display, this card represents a significant piece of Pokémon trading card history.
