Latios (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

species=Eon |

Latios is a bird-like, dragon Pokémon. It has an aerodynamic body. The lower half of its body is blue with jet-plane wings and fin-like feet. It has a red triangular marking on its chest. By tucking its wings and forelimbs, it can fly faster than a jet. It has white and blue arms that can be tucked into its body. The upper-half of its body is white. It has triangular ears and a blue face with a white pentagon in the middle. Latios is a male only species; {{p|Latias}} is the female counterpart.

[[M05|In the fifth movie]], Latios had the ability "Sight Sharing" which allowed Latias and people around it to see exactly what Latios was seeing. [[Oakley]] also mentioned that it can shape-shift. It prefers compassionate Trainers, to whom it opens its heart. It uses telepathy to detect locations and the emotions of others, and can understand human speech. It lives by the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|water's edge.}} Latios is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Luster Purge}}.  

{{mov|Latios|Latios|05}} made its debut appearance in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''. {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]] captured Latios and used it to power the [[Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare]] along with the stolen [[Soul Dew]]. Latios ended up sacrificing itself to save [[Alto Mare]] from an enormous tidal wave.

*Latios shares the same [[species]] name with its female counterpart {{p|Latias}}. They are both known as the Eon Pokémon.

*In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the item Eon Flute can be used to fly around Hoenn on the back of a Mega Latios/{{p|Latias}}.

Latios appears to be a cross between a {{wp|Jet aircraft|jet plane}} and a {{wp|dragon}}. It and {{p|Latias}} may also draw inspiration from the philosophy of {{wp|yin and yang}}. They may also be based upon the {{wp|Aeon#In Gnosticism|aeons in Gnosticism}}, being that certain aeons are immaterial beings of concepts existing in pairs of males and females emanated from God and one another; also, their [[species]] is "Eon." Latias and Latios are also based on birds, and due to Latias's {{DL|Prototype Pokémon and characters|Blaziken / Latias|shared origin}} with {{p|Blaziken}}, they could be based on {{wp|junglefowl}}.
