Strategy & play
How Latias plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
- Its main attack (Mist Ball) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Needs Fire / Water Energy to attack — note its own type is Colorless, so build for the attack cost, not the type.
- Colorless type, weak to Colorless ×2 — a Colorless attacker doing ≥40 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
How to beat Latias
- Exploit its Colorless weakness — ≥40 damage one-shots it.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Latias is real?
Latias is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
