Latios (Japanese: ラティオス Latios) is a dual-type Dragon/Psychic legendary Pokémon.
He is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
He is a member of the eon duo of Hoenn along with Latias.
Biology
Physiology
Latios has mostly the same body shape as Latias, which is highly aerodynamic and shaped like a jet-airplane. However, he has a larger build, and also he's heavier than her. His lower body is blue instead of red and features the same triangle-shaped marking that Latias has, only red. The rest of Latios's body is gray instead of white. Latios has flatter ears and narrower eyes than Latias. The gray spot in the middle of Latios's blue face is shaped like a tear-drop. Latios also has ridge-shaped features on his rear, which may either be rudimentary feet or tails or some sort, which differs in shape to Latias's. Like Latias, Latios's forelimbs can be tucked into his body in order to reduce air-resistance when in flight, increasing his aerodynamic proficiencies.
Gender differences
Latios are the male of the species, with the female being Latias. Latios are much larger than Latias. Latios' physical characteristics are mainly blue while Latias are mainly red.
Special abilities
Latios is able to fold in his arms and fly at the speed of a jet. He can make foes see images he has seen or what he imagines in his head. He can understand human speech. Even if he is hiding, Latios can detect the locations and emotions of others using telepathy. Like his sister Latias, Latios can enfold his body with a glass-like down to refract light which can render him invisible or alter his appearance (an exclusive type of Transformation).
In the movie Pokémon Heroes and manga Pokémon Adventures Latias and Latios also had the ability "Sight Sharing" which allowed Latias and people around her to see exactly what Latios was seeing. Oakley also mentioned that he can shape-shift like Latias, although he was never seen doing so during the course of the movie, apart from the deleted storybook scene that was present only in the Japanese version of the movie. Latios was seen disguised as a boy and Latias as a girl.
Latios is the only known Pokémon that learns Luster Purge.
Behavior
Latios has a very protective nature, especially towards his relative, Latias. He has a docile temperament and dislikes fighting. He will open his heart if he finds a Trainer with a compassionate spirit.
Habitat
Much like Latias, it is mostly unknown where they inhabit. However, they tend to prefer areas that are secluded and have a body of fresh water.

Major appearances
Latios made his debut appearance in Pokémon Heroes. Annie and Oakley captured Latios and used him to power the Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare along with the stolen Soul Dew. Latios ended up sacrificing himself to save Alto Mare from an enormous tidal wave.
Other
A Latios also appeared in Pikachu's Ocean Adventure where, along with Latias, it used its powers to help Pikachu, Meowth and the other Pokémon search for the legendary "Wailord's Tear" beneath the ocean.
A Latios owned by Tobias was used in The Semi-Final Frontier! in the semi-finals of the Lily of the Valley Conference.
Minor appearances

In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Latios, along with Latias, was befriended by Emerald, and took the young Trainer to the Battle Frontier. He later helped Todd Snap watch the events going on on top of the Battle Pyramid, as well as verify the true identity of Guile Hideout. After the villain's defeat, he goes back to the Southern Island with Latias, having accomplished their mission.

Other appearances
After Latios appears from his Poké Ball, he will fly off the stage. He and Latias will then alternately zoom onto the stage with Steel Wing, damaging any opponent that collides with them. He may also cause movement of items as well.
Trophy Information
Latios appears with his counterpart, Latias.
"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
- Latios and Latias were the first legendary Pokémon to have set genders.
- They were in fact the first legendaries to even have genders at all.
- Before Generation IV, Latios either resisted or was weak to every type classified as Special, taking no neutral hits from any. It shares this trait with Latias.
- Latios shares the same species name with his female counterpart Latias. They are both known as the Eon Pokémon.
- Latios and Latias both have the highest base Speed of all Dragon-type Pokémon.
- Despite being legendary Pokémon, regular battle music is played when Latios and Latias are encountered. They share this trait with Shaymin and Cresselia.
- However, when either Latios or Latias are found in the wild, the pre-battle encounter animation is different than those of ordinary Pokémon, as it is a distorting screen.
- The triangle-shaped ring on the chest of Latios has the same color as the main body of his female counterpart Latias, along with Latios's alternate coloring.
- With the item Soul Dew, Latios achieves the highest Special Attack in all the game, even beating that of the Attacking Forme of Deoxys.
Origin
Latios appears to be a cross between a jet plane and a dragon. He and Latias 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." Latias and Latios are also based on birds, and due to Latias's shared origin with Blaziken, they could be based on Junglefowl.
Name origin
Latios may derive from lateo (Latin for to lie hidden). Os as a suffix may have been added to make it sound more masculine, opposite the more feminine-sounding as in Latias.
