'''Latias''' ({{ja|ラティアス|Ratiasu}}, ''Latias'') and '''Latios''' ({{ja|ラティオス|Ratiosu}}, ''Latios'') are fictional creatures in the ''{{uv|Pokémon}}'' franchise. They appear starting in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as a 2-in-1 [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon.

===As a Poké Ball Pokémon===

When summoned, both Latias and Latios scoot off in opposite directions (Latias will attack from the right, Latios from the left). They zoom back and cross paths in an X-fashion, similar to the [[Kat & Ana]] [[Assist Trophy]] (However, [[Kat & Ana]] cross at the same time, while Latias and Latios cross one at a time). The impact causes heavy damage, and knockback is rather strong. The winds from their speed pick up and affect items and characters, forming a sort of "vacuum" at their intersections. This can be extremely dangerous for light characters and those with poor recoveries because a player can easily get caught in a "vacuum" and get KO'd off the side or knocked too far away from the stage to recover. They do not harm the person who summoned them. Despite them being very rare in the Pokémon games (running from the player at every opportunity), they are treated as common Pokémon in ''Brawl''.

Latias and Latios are a pair of Dragon/Psychic-type {{iw|bulbapedia|Legendary Pokémon}} first appearing in {{iw|Bulbapedia|Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire}}. One of them, depending on the version, appears randomly in the wild after beating the Pokémon League roaming the {{iw|Bulbapedia|Hoenn}} region and attempting to flee after each encounter, while the other can be found in the event-only {{iw|Bulbapedia|Southern Island}}. Both make a return in {{iw|Bulbapedia|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, where, depending on the version, one of the pair requests the player and {{iw|Bulbapedia|Steven Stone}} to save the other in Southern Island from {{iw|Bulbapedia|Team Magma}} (''Omega Ruby'') or {{iw|Bulbapedia|Team Aqua}} (''Alpha Sapphire''). After defeating the villainous team, Latios (''Omega Ruby'') or Latias (''Alpha Sapphire'') will join the player's team.

 

{{iw|bulbapedia|Steel Wing|move}} is a Steel-type physical move with 70 base power and 90% accuracy which has a 10% chance of raising the user's Defense by one level. It is available as a TM or a tutor move to several Flying-type or bird-like Pokémon, including Latias and Latios.

*Unlike other Legendary Pokémon, the [[crowd]] does not gasp when Latias and Latios appear. Additionally, they have the standard frequency rate instead of the Legendary rate.

*Latias and Latios' trophies take note that Latias can only be female and that Latios can only be male.
