- Two beloved Legendary dragons on one card, rendered in Sanosuke Sakuma's signature style.
- Sits in the Rare Ultra tier: the textured, full-art secret-style version collectors actually want.

Where Latias & Latios-GX fits in the hobby
Team Up landed early in 2019 as the set that made TAG TEAM GX the defining mechanic of the late Sun & Moon era. Pairing two Pokémon on a single card wasn't just a gameplay gimmick — it gave artists a wider canvas, and it gave collectors a reason to chase the top-tier full-art versions. Latias & Latios-GX at number 170 is exactly that: the full-art rainbow-style pull that sits above the regular TAG TEAM in the set's rarity ladder.
The Eon duo carry weight that reaches back well beyond this set. Latias and Latios anchored a generation of Hoenn nostalgia, complete with their own movie, and pairing them together on one card taps directly into that history. For a lot of collectors this isn't just another GX — it's the Eon twins finally sharing a frame.
Sanosuke Sakuma handles the art, and the full-art treatment gives the pair room to breathe across the whole card face. As a Dragon-type TAG TEAM, it slotted into a competitive meta that leaned hard on TAG TEAM attackers, so plenty of copies got played and handled rather than sleeved away — one reason clean, high-grade examples still draw attention on the secondary market.
Market read
This card lives in the middle-upper band of Team Up's chase list — not the set's absolute headliner, but a name-recognition pull that always has a buyer waiting. Its raw price sits in the higher tier for the set, and the gap between a raw copy and a graded Gem Mint one is wide enough that grading is a live consideration for anyone holding a clean example. Population is substantial, which tells you a lot of people opened Team Up and a lot of people sent these in.
The read here is steady rather than explosive. Sales trickle rather than flood, typical of a card that's desirable but well-supplied — patient sellers do better than motivated ones. It's off its all-time high, which is the norm across the Sun & Moon TAG TEAM run as the market normalized after the era's peak, but the Eon-duo appeal gives it a firmer floor than a lot of its shelf-mates.
- The Eon duo — Latias and Latios together — carry deep Hoenn and movie-era nostalgia.
- TAG TEAM GX full-arts are the collectible peak of the late Sun & Moon era.
- Sanosuke Sakuma's full-art layout gives the pair a striking, display-worthy frame.
- Strong grading economics keep a steady flow of raw copies heading to graders.
- Dual-Legendary cards pull interest from single-Pokémon collectors on both sides.

Why the art matters
Sanosuke Sakuma delivers the pair in the full-art TAG TEAM format, where the two Pokémon occupy the entire card rather than a boxed illustration window. Latias and Latios streak together in flight, the composition built around motion and the contrast of the two Eon Pokémon — red and blue, the sisterly-brotherly pairing that fans have wanted side by side since Hoenn.
The full-art texturing catches light across the surface, which is part of the card's display appeal and also part of why condition matters so much: those textured surfaces show wear and print lines readily under a loupe.

Frequently asked questions
How much is Latias & Latios-GX #170/181 worth today?
As of August 14, 2026, a raw Latias & Latios-GX #170/181 trades around $3,157.93, and a PSA 10 copy around $15,576.08. Prices update nightly from live market data — the chart above has the full history.
Is Latias & Latios-GX worth grading right now?
Yes, the math currently works: after buying a raw copy and paying ~$25 in grading fees, the expected value of grading is about $6,150.55 positive, based on live PSA 10/9 prices and this card's real gem rate.
Is this the same as the regular Latias & Latios-GX in Team Up?
No. This is the full-art secret-style version at number 170, which sits in the Rare Ultra tier above the standard TAG TEAM GX. The regular version has a boxed illustration; this one uses the entire card face as artwork and carries a meaningful premium.
Why do these full-art TAG TEAM cards grade so harshly?
The textured foil surface and large flat color areas reveal scratches, print lines, and edge whitening far more easily than a standard card. That's why gem rates on cards like this tend to be lower than you'd expect, and why careful inspection before grading matters.
What makes the Latias & Latios pairing so popular?
The Eon duo are among the most nostalgic Legendaries from the Hoenn generation, boosted by their own movie appearance. Getting both on a single card scratches an itch fans have had for years, which broadens its appeal beyond typical set collectors.
Is it worth grading a raw copy?
For clean examples, the spread between raw and Gem Mint is wide enough that grading is often worthwhile here. The catch is condition — inspect surface and centering closely first, because a card that grades a notch below gem loses much of that upside.
Was this card played competitively?
Yes. Dragon-type TAG TEAM GX attackers were part of the late Sun & Moon meta, so plenty of copies saw play. That handling is part of why truly clean, high-grade examples stand out against a large overall population.
