Latias
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- Main article: Latias (Pokémon)
Latias, the female Eon Pokémon, can be found without a special event item in Pokémon Sapphire, Emerald (depending on the player's choice), HeartGold, White 2, Alpha Sapphire, and Ultra Moon.
Latias's stats lean towards Defense, unlike Latios, whose stats are on the offensive side. Latias can augment its high Special Defense with its signature move, Mist Ball, which weakens the foe's Special Attack 50% of the time.
In Pokémon Ruby, Omega Ruby, and Emerald, if the player chooses Latios to roam Hoenn, with an Eon Ticket the player can go to Southern Island, where they will encounter Latias. In Pokémon SoulSilver, if the player has an Enigma Stone, Latias can be found and captured in Pewter City.
In Ultra Moon, Latias may be found in the Ultra Space Wilds by following a blue Ultra Wormhole to the Cave World during the Ultra Warp Ride minigame.
In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Latias can be found in the Soul Room at Ramanas Park after capturing the Legendary giants. A Soul Slate is needed to encounter Latias.
In Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs, Latias can be called with a Ranger Sign once the player progresses far enough as Summer.

While Latios and Latias are very similar, Latios has higher offensive stats. Latios can augment its high Special Attack with its signature move, Luster Purge, which has a 50% chance of lowering the target's Special Defense.
In Pokémon Sapphire, Alpha Sapphire, and Emerald, if the player chooses Latias to roam Hoenn, with an Eon Ticket the player can go to Southern Island, where they will encounter Latios. In Pokémon HeartGold, if the player has an Enigma Stone, Latios can be found and captured in Pewter City.
In Ultra Sun, Latios may be found in the Ultra Space Wilds by following a blue Ultra Wormhole to the Cave World during the Ultra Warp Ride minigame.
