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

Latias does not evolve into anything nor from anything.

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. For its male counterpart, see Latios.

Special abilities

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

Latias is the only known Pokémon that learns Mist Ball.

Behavior

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

Habitat

Latias rarely shows itself to humans, so its location is often found in isolated areas, or in secret havens.

Latias in the anime

Latias has had only made one appearance in the anime so far, 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.

In the manga

Latias, along with Latios, was befriended by Emerald and took the young Trainer to the Battle Frontier. She has appeared in human form a few times as the saga continues.

In Pokémon Emerald, the Roaming Pokémon is chosen in a sequence immediately after the credits where, after hearing a television report, the player is asked the colour of the Pokémon in it. If red is selected, Latias roams Hoenn and Latios is found at the island. If blue is selected, Latias is found at the island and Latios roams Hoenn.

Trivia

  • Latias and Latios were the first legendary Pokémon to have genders.
  • Latias is one of the few non-Flying type who can learn Fly. The others are Mew, Smeargle, Vibrava, Flygon, Latios and Giratina.
  • Before Generation IV, Latias either resisted or was weak to every type classified as special, taking no neutral hits from any. It shares this trait with Latios.
  • Latias shares the same species name with its male counterpart Latios. They are both known as Eon Pokémon.
  • Despite being Legendary Pokémon, regular battle music is played when Latias and Latios are encountered.
  • According to Super Smash Bros. Brawl, there is more than one Latias and Latios. This is also proven by the fact that Latios had a father Latios.

Origin

Latias appears to be a cross between a jet plane and a dragon, 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.
