Latias and Latios presented some very unique powers in the movie, such as sight-sharing, invisibility, and shapeshifting. Latias commonly shapeshifts to appear the same as Bianca, and befriended Ash under her persona. She may have a crush on him as well, as was hinted in the movie, undoubtedly because he saved her from Annie and Oakley.
Latias briefly appeared in Ash and Latios in her Bianca disguise.
Personality and characteristics
Latias and AshLatias in human form, disguised as Bianca
Latias is a very docile Pokémon. She appeared to dislike fighting and was quickly scared off by any conflict or anything attempting to cause harm to her. She cared much for people and Pokémon close to her, including Ash, Latios, Bianca, and Lorenzo. She was, however, shown to have a more mature side beside her childish and playful side, bravely joining her big brother to save Alto Mare from drowning.
Latias is one of the few Pokémon seen in the anime to have been shown to have a crush on a person, who, in Latias's case, is Ash. After saving Latias from Annie and Oakley, Latias was shown to have complete trust in Ash, wanting to play with him all the time they spent together at the Secret Garden, and also being the one she sought help from when Latios was kidnapped.
A † shows that the move was used recently, unless all moves fit this case or there are fewer than five known moves.
In the games
Latias was distributed in Japan from August 11 to September 8, 2022 as part of the 20th anniversary screenings of Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias. This Latias is unique in that it knows the move Sweet Kiss, a move which it can otherwise normally not learn. This is probably in reference to the kiss that Latias gives Ash at the end of the movie.
Latias Cards listed with a blue background are only legal to use in the current Expanded format. Cards listed with a green background are legal to use in both the current Standard and Expanded formats.
The Latias, in the same manga, is also able to shapeshift into a human girl and does so frequently, similar to how the Latias from the movie frequently shapeshifts into Bianca.
