The Eon Duo Takes Flight

EX Deoxys brought the second wave of Gold Stars with the spotlight on legendary Pokémon. Latias ★, Latios ★, and Rayquaza ★ formed a Colorless-type trio representing Hoenn's most iconic sky-dwelling legends.

Latias ★ is one of only three Gold Stars with multi-energy attacks — a design choice dropped after EX Deoxys. The shiny coloration transforms the signature red into striking golden-yellow.

While overshadowed by Rayquaza ★ from the same set, Latias offers a more accessible entry into legendary Pokémon Gold Stars. The Eon duo is almost always collected as a pair.

The Eon duo Gold Stars are inseparable in collector culture — where you find one, the other is never far behind.

Masakazu Fukuda is the sole illustrator behind every Gold Star card in the Pokémon TCG — a distinction no other artist holds for any comparable card class. Before entering the Pokémon world, Fukuda spent eleven years in the video game industry handling character design and main graphics at game production companies throughout the 1990s.

His first Pokémon TCG illustrations appeared in 2003, but it was the Gold Star assignment that cemented his legacy. Fukuda deliberately exaggerates angles and colors in his Gold Star work, creating a dynamic, almost kinetic energy that makes each card feel alive. He describes his style as "cute, colorful, and vibrant."

His influences are fascinatingly eclectic: mecha designer Hajime Katoki, manga artists Katsuhiro Otomo (Akira) and Masamune Shirow (Ghost in the Shell). Outside of art, he's an avid motorcyclist, wide-angle photographer, and a fan of electronic music and late 1960s funk — particularly James Brown.
