Latias

Latias is a Legendary Pokémon introduced in the third generation (Ruby and Sapphire). It is a Dragon/Psychic-type Pokémon and forms one half of the Eon duo, alongside Latios. Latias is widely recognized for its intelligence and telepathic ability to communicate with humans and other Pokémon. In appearance, it has a red and white body with blue markings on its wings and crest, giving it a sleek, bird-like look.

In battle, Latias is noted for its high Special Defense and speed among Legendary Pokémon. It learns a variety of Psychic- and Dragon-type moves, including its signature move Mist Ball. Its ability is Levitate, which grants immunity to Ground-type moves.

Latias appears in many Pokémon games and is featured prominently in the anime film Pokémon Heroes, where it travels with Latios and aids cities in danger. In the main series games, Latias can be encountered through roaming, events, or specific story sequences depending on the title. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Latias can Mega Evolve into Mega Latias, enhancing its stats and battle versatility.

Ecologically and culturally, Latias is often portrayed as a benevolent guardian of the skies, sometimes linked to legends and ancient myths within the Pokémon world. Trainers seek Latias for its dual Dragon and Psychic typings and its blend of offense and defenses, which make it a popular choice for certain battle strategies.
