How to Get Latios

Use the Soul Slate in the Soul Room in Ramanas Park

Latios may be found in Ramanas Park by using the Soul Slate. Be sure to save your game directly in front of the pedestal if you plan on soft-resetting for a good nature.

How to Catch and Best Pokemon to Use

Latios Encounter in Ramanas Park
Latios	Lv.: 70	Ability: Levitate
	Moveset
	Dragon Dance Dragon Pulse Zen Headbutt Luster Purge

Latios can increase its stats with Dragon Dance which can get out of hand pretty quick. Having a way to prevent Latios from increasing his stats with a move like Taunt, or a way to reset his stats with a move like Haze can come in handy.

Blastoise		Absol
Recommended Lv. 70+	Item: Leftovers	Recommended Lv. 70+	Item: Leftovers
Recommended Moves:		Recommended Moves:
False Swipe Yawn Haze		False Swipe Thunder Wave Taunt

When facing Latios, we recommend using either Blastoise with Yawn and False Swipe, or Absol with Thunder Wave and False Swipe. These Pokemon give you a reliable way to whittle down the opponent's HP as low as possible, and access to a status-inflicting move to improve catch rates.

Absol is the best choice here thanks to its immunity to Latios' Psychic-type moves such as Zen Headbutt or Luster Purge. It also has access to Taunt which can be used to prevent Latios from setting up Dragon Dance. While paralysis from Thunder Wave does not improve catch rate as well as sleep does, it is still a reliable status affliction that you don't have to reapply every few turns.

Best Balls to Use

In case a Quick Ball on turn 1 did not succeed, the Ultra Ball is a reliable go-to ball to use instead. If you are facing Latios at night, Dusk Balls become the better option.

If about a dozen turns have passed, you may also rely on the Timer Ball for higher success rates of capture.

Modest or Timid Natures are Best

List of Recommended Natures
Modest Special Attack ↑ Attack ↓	Timid Speed↑ Attack ↓

For players who intend to use Latios to its full potential, we recommend looking for one with a Modest or Timid Nature. As a Special Attacker, it would appreciate the increase to either its Special Attack or Speed and not mind the drop in its Attack stat.
