Latios is a [Dragon](https://pokee.si/types/dragon)/[Psychic](https://pokee.si/types/psychic)-type Pokémon, the Eon Pokémon, number 381 (#0381) in the National Pokédex. It was introduced in Generation 3 and comes from the [Hoenn](https://pokee.si/guide/regions/hoenn) region. It is 2 m tall and weighs 60 kg.

Latios is the Eon Pokémon, a male Dragon and Psychic jet of a Pokémon that the Pokédex says can outfly a jet plane and show others pictures from its own mind. It is gentle, dislikes fighting, and opens its heart only to compassionate Trainers.

## Lore

### Biology

Latios is 2 m tall and 60 kg, with a bird-like body styled after a jet plane: mostly blue with white arms and a white stripe down its back, a red triangle on its chest and a blue mask over part of its face. It has no legs and floats, with jet-like wings on its back and two tall, jagged fins at its rear. It is male-only. The Pokédex says it folds in its arms in flight to cut air resistance.

### Behaviour

Latios is tender and docile, and it avoids fighting where it can. It is highly intelligent, understands human speech, and uses telepathy to sense where others are and how they feel, even from hiding. The Pokédex says it can make others see an image of something it has seen or imagined. In the anime it is grumpy and quick to distrust humans. Bulbapedia, citing Pokémon Sleep, says a mysterious light often surrounds it while it sleeps.

### Habitat

The species data lists the water's edge. In Scarlet and Violet, Latios appears in The Indigo Disk's North Province (Area Two) after you give him a Latios Treat from Snacksworth. In Legends: Z-A he comes by trade in the base game, and the Mega Dimension DLC puts one in Hyperspace Lumiose, found with a special scan.

### Powers

Latios has the Ability Levitate and the signature move Luster Purge, which Bulbapedia says no other Pokémon can learn. He also uses Psychic, Dragon Pulse and Draco Meteor, and can heal with Recover. With base Special Attack of 130 and Speed of 110, he is a fast special attacker. With Latiosite he Mega Evolves, turning purple; the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire site says Mega Latios can reach Mach 4, and the Legends: Z-A Pokédex places it in the top tier for air combat.

### Name origin

Latios may combine the Latin lateō ('I lie hidden') with a masculine -os ending. It might also nod to Eos, goddess of dawn in Greek myth, or to Plato's dialogue Timaeus. The Japanese name is Latios (ラティオス).

### Design inspiration

Their red and blue plumage may recall parrots of the genus Eos. As a male and female pair called Eon Pokémon, Latios and Latias could be linked to Gnostic aeons, which also come in pairs, or to yin and yang, with the more aggressive Latios as yang. These are fan readings.

### In the games

In Omega Ruby, the Eon Flute lets you ride a Mega Latios across Hoenn. He first appeared in Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, where he roams Hoenn in Ruby.

### In the anime

Debuted in the film 'Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias', where Annie and Oakley capture him and use his energy to run the Defense Mechanism that guards Alto Mare. Tobias's Latios debuted in the series in 'The Semi-Final Frontier!', beating Sceptile and Swellow before losing to Pikachu in the semi-finals of the Lily of the Valley Conference.

### Fun facts

- Latios and Latias appear with the virtual singers Hatsune Miku and KAITO in 'Eon Ticket', a song by marasy8 made for the Hatsune Miku VOLTAGE Project.
- Mega Latios was a toy that shoots a small beam in McDonald's 2015 Pokémon promotion.
- At 2 m, Latios is the tallest Psychic type of Generation III in the poke.si data.
