Mega Latias ex

Mega Latias ex arrived with Mega Evolution on 26 September 2025. Here is what it does once it is on the table, and what it is worth right now.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

WHAT IT HAS GOING FOR IT

  • Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.
  • Illusory Impulse hits for 300 on 3 Energy. Nothing in Mega Evolution hits harder for that price.
  • It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.
  • No Weakness printed on the card. Nothing doubles up the damage it takes.
  • Mark I. The next rotation takes mark H away, so this one stays tournament legal.

WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR

  • None of the 1,386 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.
  • It is an ex card. The turn it goes down your opponent takes two Prizes instead of one, and games do turn on exactly that.

NOW YOUR OWN GAME

You've just read a page about the game. We can do far more with one match.

Everything above is about the game in general. The thing we're really good at is one single match: yours. When a game ends, Pokémon TCG Live leaves you a log — the written record of everything that happened, turn by turn. Paste it here and we'll replay each of your decisions hundreds of times, then tell you which one actually cost you the game.

It's free and there's no account to make. Your log stays in your browser: your browser is what replays the game.
