While Latias' most valuable card is shared with its twin Dragon-type legendary, Latios, this red and white Pokemon flies solo on some iconic cards. Latias paves an impressive path forward for newer Dragon-type Pokemon like Noivern, whose TCG career is still young. Vintage classics combine with modern marvels to complete Latias' roster of valuable cards.

Cards are ordered according to their TCGPlayer Market Price, which is the average price you might pay for a copy of the cards below.

Given the age and rarity of certain cards, only those with an established market price on TCGplayer are included.

Sale prices differ depending on the card's condition, so this market price is just a rough idea of the card's value.

7 Alto Mare’s Latias: JP 10th Movie Commemoration Set (Promo) – $49.99

A Japanese Exclusive

This Japanese-exclusive promo card is from the 10th Movie Commemoration Set. This special roster of cards pays homage to the legendary Pokemon featured throughout the movies leading up to The Rise of Darkrai but was only released in Japan, so you cannot find any alternative version.

Alto Mare is the city Latias helped to save from evil.

Given its age and exclusivity, this card won't be easy to find if you're looking for one in near-mint (NM) condition, as the only recent sale sits at $49.99. However, you can find plenty of listings in less-than-ideal shape, with moderately played (MP) cards selling for about $20.

6 Latias EX: Plasma Freeze (Full Art) – $61.75

The Essence Of Latias

While it may not be the most valuable Latias card, this Latias EX from Plasma Freeze perfectly captures Latias' personality, encapsulating its cuteness and strength as it looks up while flying briskly through the sky.

The shades of pink and red in the background provide the perfect canvas for Latias.

As one of the most valuable sets from the Black & White era, Plasma Freeze sets a high standard, though the price of this card drops much lower than usual in MP condition, settling at about $33. The best lightly played (LP) copies command as much as $49, while NM jumps to almost $70.

5 Latias EX: Dragon Frontiers (Delta Species) – $68.20

Melting Through The Ice

This Latias ex gives this typically timid and serene Pokemon one of the fiercest possible backgrounds, as Latias leaves a trail of fire in its wake in this gorgeous Dragon Frontiers card. Still, despite the fiery scene, Latias' signature soft and sweet demeanor shines through.

If you're on a tight budget, there's good news waiting if you're okay with damaged cards, as you can pick up a copy for under $20 in most cases. HP cards jump up to $34, but MP is only a little bit more at about $39. Lastly, LP copies can reach the $55 plateau, with an NM sale at $68, though a more recent one is needed to confirm the value.

4 Latias & Latios GX: Team Up (Secret Rare) – $79.95

Team Up's Other Gem

While this stunning Rainbow Secret Rare can't crack into the most valuable cards in Team Up, it's more of a testament to the strength of that set than anything, as this card could serve as one of the top chase cards in most sets. This pairing puts the rainbow recolor to good use, as their simple color palettes shine through if you tilt the card right.

Considering Team Up's meteoric rise, it's no surprise to see this card's value trending upward over time, as it left behind its former high of $60 to ascend to new heights. The market price is a conservative estimate, as NM copies command as much as $150, while you can find LP cards selling for about $70.

3 Latias EX: Dragon (Ultra Rare) – $115.65

The Flying Focal Point

As one of the most expensive sets in the EX era, Dragon is home to an incredible collection of Pokemon that matches the set's titular theme. This simple yet beautiful background is the perfect setting for this Dragon and Psychic-type Pokemon, as the dark colors in the backdrop highlight Latias' bright red and white coat.

This is another Latias card where the condition will play a major factor, as HP copies are affordable at $26, but MP jumps into the $57 range, followed by LP copies soaring as high as $94. NM copies are very rare, so expect to pay around $115 or more if you're looking for one to grade.

2 Latias Star: Deoxys (Ultra Rare) – $274.95

A Sky-High Solo Star

Gold Star cards are some of the most valuable versions you can find, as this vintage subset is one of the most desirable to collect. However, with high demand and low supply, these cards soar in price to astronomical values, with this Latias providing the perfect example of how popular Gold Stars are.

There are no recent sales of this card in anything other than damaged condition, as anyone with a copy tends to send it in to be graded to preserve it.

With two damaged sales hovering between $274 and $298, the sky is the limit for this card in NM condition. However, with listed LP copies as high as $999, it's hard to say what the next sale may do to this card's market price.

1 Latias & Latios GX: Team Up (Alternate Full Art) – $862.90

A Dynamic Dragon Duo

It's no surprise to see the most valuable card from the Sun & Moon era topping another list as the most valuable Latias card. This iconic artwork has become one of the most recognizable modern Pokemon cards, alongside the legendary Umbreon Vmax from Evolving Skies.

This card's price range moves steadily between $700 and $900, with it hitting new highs in recent times, as its current value breaks new ground for this card. LP copies dropped as low as $625, but you'll need to pay a premium for NM cards that have a chance to get a PSA 10, with the highest recent raw sale just north of $850.
