Latias (Japanese: ラティアス Latias) is a dual-type Dragon/Psychic legendary Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Latias is a bird-like dragon Pokémon vaguely resembling Lugia. The lower half of her body is red with jet-plane wings and stubby feet that are similar to ones Crobat has. Latias has a blue triangle-shaped ring on her chest that resembles one of the spots Togepi and Togetic have. Latias's white and red arms can be tucked into her body in order to reduce air-resistance when in flight. The upper-half of Latias's body is white. She has triangle-shaped ears and a red face with a white pentagon in the middle.

Gender differences

Latias is a female-only species. Her male counterpart is Latios.

Special abilities

Latias comes with the ability Levitate, which causes Template:Type2 moves to miss. Latias can enfold her body with glass-like down to refract light and alter her appearance. She is highly intelligent and can understand human speech. She can telepathically communicate with others. Latias's Dragon and Psychic typing has given her the ability to wield attacks of many different elements (except for Fire).

In the movie Pokémon Heroes Latias and Latios also had the ability "Sight Sharing" which allowed Latias and people around her to see exactly what Latios is seeing.

Latias is the only known Pokémon that can learn Mist Ball.

Behavior

Latias will form small herds of several members. They will rarely make contact with people or other Pokémon. If Latias senses hostility towards herself, she will ruffle the feathers all over her body and cry shrilly to intimidate her foe. However, she will usually disappear if she senses an enemy.

Habitat

Latias rarely shows herself to humans, so her location is often found in isolated areas, or in secret havens. However, wherever they do make their homes usually has a body of fresh water.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

In the anime

Latias made her debut anime appearance in the fifth movie, Pokémon Heroes. Latias and her brother, Latios were the targets of Annie and Oakley. Latias assisted Ash in the mission to save Latios.

A Latias also appeared in Pikachu's Ocean Adventure where, along with Latios, she used her powers to help Pikachu, Meowth and the other Pokémon search for the legendary 'Wailord's Tear' beneath the ocean.

In the manga

Latias, along with Latios, was befriended by Emerald and took the young Trainer to the Battle Frontier. She has appeared in a human a few times as the saga continued by using her ability to reflect light.

In the TCG

Main article: Latias (TCG)

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

After Latias appears from its Poké Ball, she will fly off the stage. She and Latios will then alternately zoom onto the stage with Steel Wing damaging any opponent that collides with them. It may also cause movement of items as well.

Trivia

  • Latias and Latios were the first legendary Pokémon to have set genders, or even genders at all.
  • Latias is one of the few non-Template:Type2s who can learn Fly. The others are Mew, Smeargle (by Sketch), Vibrava, Flygon, Latios, Giratina, and Arceus (though Arceus can be a Flying-type by holding a Sky Plate).
  • Before Generation IV, Latias and Latios either resisted or were weak to every type classified as special, taking no neutral hits from any.
  • Despite being legendary Pokémon, regular battle music is played when Latias and Latios are encountered. They share this trait with Shaymin and Cresselia.
  • 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
  • Latias and Latios both have the highest base Speed of all Dragon-Type Pokémon


Origin

Latias appears to be a cross between a jet plane and a dragon,with a inverse delta in your head, the feminine symbol, and your delta in the breast represent the heart-connection with Latios. Although it and Latios may also draw inspiration from the philosophy of Yin/Yang and psychology of id/ego.

Name origin

It is possible that Latias's name is based on the Latin word lateo, hidden. The -as suffix in its name indicates that it is female, while the -os in Latios indicates that it is male.
