Latios is a blue legendary bird Pokémon that was introduced in the third generation games. It is exclusively male and forms a pair with its female counterpart, Latias.
Information[edit]
Latios is an intelligent Pokémon that can understand human speech and can communicate using telepathy. Latios also has the psychic ability to make others see projections of things that it has seen or imagined in its head. Latios are normally docile and tender Pokémon that dislike fighting, and they will only open their hearts to trainers who have compassionate spirits. When in hiding, Latios can still detect others and sense their emotions with its telepathy. Once it folds in its wings and tucks in its forelegs, Latios can fly like a jet plane.
Appearances[edit]
Mainstream Games[edit]
Within the third generation games, the location of Latios and Latias depending on the version. In all versions one of the Eon Pokémon would roam Hoenn after the Elite Four was completed, with a sighting of it being reported on the television, while the other was found on Southern Island, which could only be reached using the event item called Eon Ticket. In Pokémon: Ruby Version, Latias was the roaming Pokémon, while in Sapphire it was found at Southern Island. Emerald allowed the player to choose as after watching the television, the player could pick whether the Pokémon in the report was red or blue. Picking "blue" would of course make Latios into the roaming Pokémon, and picking "red" would keep it at Southern Island.
In HeartGold and SoulSilver, depending on the version one Pokémon would appear as a roaming Pokémon in Kanto, while the other Pokémon would appear outside Pewter City Museum after obtaining the event item Enigma Stone and having it analyzed to see it is a Soul Dew. Steven Stone witnesses the latter battle. In HeartGold, Latias is the roaming Pokémon, while in SoulSilver it is obtained through the event. The Eon Pokémon seemed to be attracted to Kanto from Hoenn due to the presence of a Soul Dew.

Brawl. When summoned, they would fly back and forth across the screen at high speed and at several different angles, using Steel Wing to damage any opponents that they hit.

Ash's friends teamed up with the Eon Pokémon's friends Bianca and Lorenzo to protect them. The Latios was captured and used to power their machine, but the Latios ultimately sacrificed itself to save everyone at Alto Mare and became Soul Dew. A Latias and Latios also helped Pikachu's group find a treasure in a Pikachu short. At the end of the Sinnoh series, Latios was shown as Tobia's second Pokémon during the Lily of the Valley Conference and acted as a surprise due to the expectation that he was done with once his Darkrai was defeated.

They were never seen in battle and returned to Southern Island once Jirachi was safe at the end of the arc.
Trivia[edit]
- Its name seems to be a play on "lateo" (a Latin word meaning "lay hidden"). The "o" used in the ending is to reflect that the Pokémon is male.
