Latios is a Pokémon with a bird-like body stylized after a plane. Its body flows slowly into a thick
neck, giving it a bulky appearance. It has no legs, usually floating instead. Most of its body is blue,
with white areas near its arms and a white stripe on its back that extend up to its head. Jet-plane
wings sit on top of its back, while two tall, jagged fins point behind it from its rear. A red triangle
marks the center of its chest, while a blue mask partially covers its face. Long, ear-like fins extend
from its jaws to over its head, and its eyes are red. It has three-fingered arms with a blue covering on
the outer side of the lower arms. Latios is a male only species, with Latias being its female
counterpart.

As Mega Latios, the blue parts of its body change to purple. Horns grow from the side of its head and
run along its jaw. It loses the wings on its back and similar but larger wings attach to its lower arms,
normally held in a level position. Triangle shapes now mark the forward point of its wings instead if
its chest.

Latios can fly faster than a jet by tucking in its arms. In the fifth movie, Latios had the ability "Sight
Sharing" (Japanese: ゆめうつし Dream Analysis) 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 water's edge. Latios is the
only known Pokémon capable of learning Luster Purge.

Major appearances

Latios (M05)

Latios debuted in Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias. Annie and Oakley captured Latios and used him
to power the Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare along with the stolen Soul Dew. Latios ended up
sacrificing himself to save Alto Mare from an enormous tidal wave.

Other
A Latios appeared in Pikachu's Ocean Adventure, where he and Latias used their powers to help
Pikachu, Meowth, and the other Pokémon search for the legendary "Wailord's Tear" beneath the
ocean.

A Latios appeared in The Semi-Final Frontier!, under the ownership of Tobias. He used it during his
Full Battle against Ash in the semifinals of the Lily of the Valley Conference. The Eon Pokémon
defeated Sceptile and Swellow, but was defeated by Pikachu, who was knocked out at the same
time.

A Latios capable of Mega Evolving appeared in Hoopa and the Clash of Ages, being summoned
alongside Latias and a Shiny Rayquaza by Hoopa to protect it from the shadow Hoopa Unbound. The
trio protected Hoopa from the shadow Hoopa and its reinforcements, Primal Groudon, Primal
Kyogre, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and Kyurem, in Dahara City. Eventually, the battle ended after the
shadow Hoopa was sealed in a Prison Bottle, and Latios departed alongside Latias for their home.
