Latias (Japanese: ラティアス Latias) is a Dragon/Psychic-type Pokémon.

Latias does not evolve into anything nor from anything.

Biology

Physiology

Latias is a bird-like dragon Pokémon vaguely resembling Lugia. The lower half of her body is red with jet-plane wings and stubby feet that are similar to ones Crobat has. Latias has a blue triangle-shaped ring on her chest that resembles one of the spots Togepi and Togetic have. Latias's white and red arms can be tucked into her body in order to reduce air-resistance when in flight. The upper-half of Latias's body is white. She has triangle-shaped ears and a red face with a white pentagon in the middle.

Gender differences

Latias is a female-only species. For its male counterpart, see Latios.

Special abilities

Latias comes with the ability Levitate, which causes Ground-type moves to miss. Latias can enfold its body with glass-like down to refract light and alter its appearance. It is highly intelligent and can understand human speech. It can telepathically communicate with others. Latias's Dragon and Psychic typing has given it the ability to wield attacks of many different elements (expect for Fire).

Latias is the only known Pokémon that learns Mist Ball unless you count Smeargle.

Behavior

Latias will form small herds of several members. They will rarely make contact with people or other Pokémon. If it senses hostility towards it, Latias will ruffle the feathers all over its body and cry shrilly to intimidate its foe. However, it will usually disappear if it senses an enemy.

Habitat

Water's-edge Pokémon

Latias rarely shows itself to humans, so its location is often found in isolated areas, or in secret havens.

Latias in the anime

In the manga

Latias, along with Latios, was befriended by Emerald and took the young Trainer to the Battle Frontier. She has appeared in human form a few times as the saga continues.

Trivia

• Latias and Latios were the first legendary Pokémon to have genders.
• Latias is one of the few non-Flying type who can learn Fly. The others are Mew, Smeargle, Vibrava, Flygon, Latios and Giratina.
• Before Generation IV, Latias either resisted or was weak to every type classified as special, taking no neutral hits from any. It shares this trait with Latios.
• Latias shares the same species name with its male counterpart Latios. They are both known as Eon Pokémon.

Origin

Latias appears to be a cross between a jet plane and a dragon, although it and Latios may also draw inspiration from the philosophy of Yin/Yang and psychology of id/ego.

Name origin

It is possible that Latias's name is based on the Latin word lateo, hidden. The -as suffix in its name indicates that it is female, while the -os in Latios indicates that it is male.
