Trophy Information
Latias appears with her counterpart, Latios.
"Eon Pokémon. There are only female Latias and only male Latios. If they sense the presence of a human or an enemy, they will generally use the light-bending trait of their down coats to make themselves invisible. They use telepathy to speak with companions. They travel in herds, but even so, are rarely seen. They're a combination of Dragon- and Psychic-types."

Trivia
- Latias and Latios were the first legendary Pokémon to have genders.
- They were also the first legendary Pokémon to have set genders.
- Despite being legendary Pokémon, regular battle music is played when Latias and Latios are encountered. They share this trait with Shaymin and Cresselia.
- However, the pre-battle animation when Latias is found in the wild is not the same as that of regular Pokémon.
- In Generation III, the triangle-shaped ring on the chest of Latias has the same color as the main body of her male counterpart Latios, even when Shiny.
- Latias and Lugia are the only legendary Pokémon in the anime to be seen being able to produce offspring.
- Latias has the highest base Special Defense of all Dragon-type Pokémon.
- Furthermore, while holding the Soul Dew, her Special Defense becomes the second-highest Special Defense of all Pokémon, surpassed only by Shuckle.
- Latias and Latios both have the highest base Speed of all Dragon-type Pokémon.
- A pre-alpha sketch depicts an unused Pokémon or alternative form of Latias with the traits of both a Latias and a Blaziken.
- Latias weighs exactly as much as Ethan when viewed from the "Size" data in her Pokédex's entry. It shares this trait with Clefable and Gurdurr.
Origin
Latias appears to be a cross between a jet plane and a dragon. It and Latios may also draw inspiration from the philosophy of yin and yang. They may also be based upon the aeons in Gnosticism, being that certain aeons are immaterial beings of concepts existing in pairs of males and females emanated from God and one another; also, their species is "Eon." Latios and Latias are also based on birds, and due to Latias's shared origin with Blaziken, they could be based on Junglefowl.
Name origin
Latias may derive from lateo (Latin for to lie hidden). As as a suffix may have been added to make it sound more feminine, opposite the more masculine-sounding os in Latios.
