Latios (Japanese: ラティオス Latios) is a dual-type Dragon/Psychic Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, Latios can Mega Evolve into Mega Latios using the Latiosite.
It is a member of the eon duo of Hoenn along with Latias.
Biology
Latios is a Pokémon with a birdlike body stylized after a plane. Its body flows slowly into a thick neck, giving it a bulky appearance. It has no legs, usually floating instead. Most of its body is blue, with white areas near its arms and a white stripe on its back that extend up to its head. Jet-plane wings sit on top of its back, while two tall, jagged fins point behind it from its rear. A red triangle marks the center of its chest, while a blue mask partially covers its face. Long, ear-like fins extend from its jaws to over its head, and its eyes are red. It has three-fingered arms with a blue covering on the outer side of the lower arms. Latios is a male-only species, with Latias being its female counterpart.
As Mega Latios, the blue parts of its body change to purple. Horns grow from the side of its head and run along its jaw. It loses the wings on its back and similar but larger wings attach to its lower arms, normally held in a level position. Triangle shapes now mark the forward point of its wings instead of its chest.
Latios can fly faster than a jet by tucking in its arms. In the fifth movie, Latios had the ability "Sight Sharing" (Japanese: ゆめうつし Dream Analysis) which allowed Latias and people around it to see exactly what Latios was seeing. Oakley also mentioned that it can shape-shift. It prefers compassionate Trainers, to whom it opens its heart. It uses telepathy to detect locations and the emotions of others and can understand human speech. It lives by the water's edge. Latios is the only known Pokémon capable of learning Luster Purge.

The Eon Pokémon defeated Sceptile and Swellow, but was defeated by Pikachu, who was knocked out at the same time.
In Hoopa and the Clash of Ages, a Latios capable of Mega Evolving was summoned alongside Latias and a Shiny Rayquaza by Hoopa to protect it from the shadow Hoopa Unbound. The trio protected Hoopa from the shadow Hoopa and its reinforcements, Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and Kyurem, in Dahara City. Eventually, the battle ended after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a Prison Bottle, and Latios departed alongside Latias for their home.

Trivia
- Latios shares its category with Latias. They are both known as the Eon Pokémon.
Origin
Latios seems to be a cross between a jet plane and a dragon. It and Latias may also draw inspiration from the philosophy of yin and yang. In addition, they may be based on the aeons in Gnosticism, being that certain aeons are immaterial beings of concepts existing in pairs of males and females emanated from God and one another; also, their category is "Eon". Latias and Latios are also based on birds, and due to Latias's shared origin with Blaziken, they could be based on junglefowl.
Name origin
Latios may derive from latere (Latin for "to lie hidden"). -Os as a suffix may have been added to make it sound more masculine, opposite the more feminine-sounding -as in Latias.
