Biology

Latios is the other half of the Eon Duo, along with its female counterpart Latias. Its abilities are mostly identical to those of Latias, though it is slightly larger, faster, and worse at making sharp turns. It prefers compassionate trainers, and does not enjoy fighting.

Forms

Mega Latios

Latios gains a purple color scheme and becomes nearly indistinguishable from Latias.
