In the movies

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

Latios and his sister Latias lived in the Secret Garden in Alto Mare, where they were the guardians of the Soul Dew. They were friends with Lorenzo and Bianca. Latios and Latias presented some very unique powers in the movie, such as sight-sharing, invisibility, and shapeshifting.

Statues of Latias and Latios in Alto Mare

At the end of the movie, Latios had to sacrifice himself to save Alto Mare, and turned into the new Soul Dew. In the ending credits, two Latios can be seen flying with Latias. They are believed to be the spirits of Latios and his father.

In The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon, Latios was seen in Pikachu's memories. He also briefly reappeared in a montage in The Rise of Darkrai, which chronicled the preceding nine movies.

Personality and characteristics

Latios after sacrificing himself

Latios has shown to have been a very mature and selfless protector, valiantly sacrificing his own life for the sake of both his sister and the town of Alto Mare. He also had a no-nonsense, very serious personality.

Although he did not like to fight, he would attack intruders of the Secret Garden without hesitation or anyone attempting or succeeding to inflict harm on his sister Latias. As a result of his personality traits, he was extremely protective of Latias.
