      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Latios has wonderful stats, but it's still lower than some non-Legendaries like Salamence and Haxorus. However, the core problem with it is Dragon Breath and Dragon Claw, a low-damage pair when it comes to PvP. 🤕

      As a Psychic-type Pokémon, Zen Headbutt is a snooze, making its damage output worse than even Alakazam and Espeon, let alone Mewtwo. ☹️

      ⚔️ Raids

      Absolutely no point using it as a Dragon-type attacker, but it can fit into your Psychic-type squad for some extra power. 💫

      🛡️ Gyms

      Legendaries cannot be put in Gyms.

      PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

      The Dragon Breath and Dragon Claw combo is a boom for any user, and Latios also gets STAB. 🐲

      That said, the Dragon/Psychic typing leaves Latios vulnerable to six weaknesses (Bug, Dark, Dragon, Fairy, Ghost, Ice) while also being absolutely useless against Steel types. 😭

      🔵 Great League

      Latios’ offense-oriented stats and typing make it clunky to use in the Great League. Besides, there are far better options for both its types in the Great League. 😶

      🟡 Ultra League

      Despite a good moveset, Latios’ numerous weaknesses punish any potential. Ghost, Dark, and Steel are particularly major problems. Latios just can't catch a break! 😮‍💨

      🟣 Master League

      Another League, this time with no restrictions on its stats, and yet the same story. Latios isn't built for PvP. 🤦

      Mega Pokémon that boost Latios

      Photobomb

      A list of Mega Pokémon that boost Latios's Dragon and Psychic-type moves, Candy, and Candy XL from catching Latios.

      Dragon Dragon

      Psychic Psychic

      Pokédex informationMore information

      Mega and Primal Raid BonusMega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%. Attacks that share their type with the Mega Pokémon's type(s) receive a 30% boost. However, these bonuses do not stack if there are multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon battling simultaneously; only the higher boost will be applied.

      Mega and Primal Catch BonusWhile a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

      Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza
      • Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
      • Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
      • Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.

                Catch probability with multiple throws

                In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Latios, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

                To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

                Catch rate formula

                Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

                • CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
                • CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

                There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

                Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.
