Latios Illustration Rare
Quite how TPCi determines which cards are “Illustration Rare” and which are “Special Illustration Rare” is deeply mysterious. This stunning Latios is somehow not given the Special status, despite being one of the most striking cards they’ve ever printed, and indeed seeming like the perfect companion to the Latias ex we’ll be meeting soon.
It’s still fetching the sort of price you’d expect for a card this good in any other set, right now selling for $42, down only ten bucks from its peak.
It’s a fantastic card, too, with the ability to pick Pokémon off the opponent’s bench, and a big 110 attack for a Basic card.
