Latios - 070/064 - SV7a: Paradise Dragona (SV7a)

Latios lands as one of the most thematically on-point pulls from SV7a: Paradise Dragona — a Japanese Scarlet & Violet subset released September 13, 2024, built entirely around Dragon-type Pokémon. As indicated by its name, Paradise Dragona is heavily focused on Pokémon that are originally Dragon-type in the core series games, with Latios and Latias serving as central featured Pokémon. The set dropped on September 13, 2024 — the Year of the Dragon — making the Dragon-type theme feel deliberate and culturally resonant.

This specific copy is the Art Rare (AR) parallel, numbered 070/064 — a secret rare that sits above the set's standard print run. Paradise Dragona contains 64 base cards plus 30 secret rares, and this Latios AR is one of those coveted over-number pulls. The artwork, illustrated by kantaro, features flavor text describing Latios as a highly intelligent Pokémon capable of overtaking jet planes by folding back its wings in flight — a dramatic full-art treatment befitting the legend.
