Latios

Latios was among the original three Gold Stars introduced in Japan’s Clash of the Blue Sky in July 2004, alongside Latias and Rayquaza. Their English debut followed in EX Deoxys in February 2005, after EX Team Rocket Returns had already introduced Gold Stars to English collectors. Masakazu Fukuda illustrated Latios in its Shiny coloration, beginning a series whose original cards would all carry his artwork.
