Description
The XY79 card number identifies this Latios release within the 2013 Pokémon XY Black Star Promos series. As a Basic Dragon-type Pokémon, it features 100 HP and the powerful Sky Blade attack, which deals 70 damage plus an additional 50 if Latias is on your bench. This strategic mechanic highlights the synergy between these two legendary Pokémon, making it a favorite for deck builders looking to enhance their Dragon strategies. Collectors appreciate this promo card for its distinct holo finish and its role in the XY era, which expanded the Pokémon Trading Card Game with new mechanics and legendary encounters. Whether you are completing the Black Star Promos subset or seeking a versatile card for your collection, the XY79 Latios offers both aesthetic appeal and gameplay value. Its retreat cost of one colorless energy makes it easy to move, while its Colorless Glide attack provides a reliable early-game option.
