This compares base numbers and the type chart; it does not predict a winner. A real battle also depends on level, nature and EVs, the moves each one knows (a Pokémon does not always learn a move of its own type), held items, weather and terrain, and abilities (Latias: Levitate; Latios: Levitate), so either one can come out ahead.

Who moves first?

At Level 50 with 252 Speed EVs, 31 IVs and a neutral nature, Latias and Latios both reach 162 Speed. A speed tie is decided at random.
