Latias is a Pokémon card from the Holon Research Tower set, released on October 28, 2005. It is a Rare Holo card numbered 41 and illustrated by artist Ryo Ueda. The card features a base HP of 70 and includes two distinct attacks. The first attack, Spiral Drain, requires one Metal and one Colorless energy to deal 20 damage while removing two damage counters from Latias. The second attack, Extra Crush, demands one Lightning, one Metal, and three Colorless energy to deal 80 damage. However, Extra Crush has a conditional effect, doing nothing if the opponent has no Pokémon-ex in play. The card’s design and mechanics reflect its role in the set’s strategic gameplay. Its combination of energy costs and effects provides versatility in battle scenarios. This card is part of the Japanese-language release, emphasizing its original set context.
