Latios (Japanese: ラティオス Latios) is a dual-type Dragon/Psychic legendary Pokémon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Latios has mostly the same body shape as Latias, but with a larger build. 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 its rear, which may either be rudimentary feet or tails or some sort, which differs in shape to Latias's. Like Latias, Latios's forelimbs have banded markings on the insides.
Gender differences
Latios is a male-only species. His female counterpart is Latias.
Special abilities
Latios comes with the ability Levitate, which causes Template:Type2 moves to miss. 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.
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 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.

In the anime
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.
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 Takuto was used in DP189 in the semi-finals of the Lily of the Valley Conference.
Minor appearances
In the manga
Latios, along with Latias, was befriended by Emerald, and took the young Trainer to the Battle Frontier. He later helped Todd 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.
In the TCG

Other appearances
After Latios appears from its 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. It may also cause movement of items as well.

If blue is selected Latios roams Hoenn and Latias is found at the island. If red is selected, Latios is found at the island and Latias roams Hoenn.

Trivia
- Latios and Latias were the first legendary Pokémon to have set genders, or even 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.
- While holding Soul Dew, Latios' maximum Special Attack becomes 591, higher than any other Pokémon.
- Despite being legendary Pokémon, regular battle music is played when Latios and Latias are encountered. They share this trait with Shaymin and Cresselia.
- 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.
Origin
Latios appears to be a cross between a jet plane and a dragon. Although it and Latias may also draw inspiration from the philosophy of yin and yang and psychology of id/superego.
Name origin
It is possible that Latios's name is based on the Latin word lateo, lie hidden. The -os suffix in its name indicates that it is male, while the -as in Latias indicates that it is female.
