Latias (ラティアス, Ratiasu) and Latios (ラティオス, Ratiosu) are fictional creatures in the Pokémon franchise. They appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a 2-in-1 Poké Ball Pokémon.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

Latias and Latios appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a 2-in-1 Poké Ball Pokémon, marking the first time two different species of Pokémon come out of one Poké Ball. Only one will come out, but both have the same outcome.

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 actually quite common in Brawl.

Latias & Latios can be avoided by using a recovery move like Pit's or Snake's to hover around the upper blast line. Since Latias & Latios usually do their attack horizontally, the technique will usually work, but if the player starts to fall, they are likely to get hit.

As a Trophy

Eon Pokémon. There are only female Latias and only male Latios. If they sense the presence of a human or an enemy, they will generally use the light-bending trait of their down coats to make themselves invisible. They use telepathy to speak to companions. They travel in herds, but even so, they are rarely seen. They're a combination of Dragon and Psychic types.
GB Advance: Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire
GB Advance: Pokémon Emerald

In Super Smash Bros. 4

Latias and Latios reappear in Super Smash Bros. 4, once more as Poké Ball Pokémon, and are functionally identical to their Brawl means of attacking.

Trivia

  • Unusually, while the crowd audibly gasps whenever a legendary Pokémon appears from a Poké Ball, they not do so when Latias and Latios appear. The Latis additionally have the standard frequency rate of being summoned from Poké Balls unlike other legendary Pokémon, despite being as effective as them.
