Latios

() is a /-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It is Latias's male counterpart, or brother.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Latios looks similar to Latias, though it is blue and a bit larger; it is also similar to Lugia. Latios has an upside-down, white teardrop shape in the center of its blue face. In the middle of its chest, Latios has a red triangle, much like Latias', whose is blue, showing in some way they are related. In the movie Pokémon Heroes, Latios and Latias both serve as guardians. In Mega form, Latios is purple.
===Special abilities===
Latios comes with the ability Levitate, which causes Ground-type moves to always miss except the move Sand Attack. Latios is able to fold in its arms and fly at the speed of a jet. It can also make foes see images it has seen or what it imagines in its head. It can understand human speech and be able to communicate with telepathy. Even if it is hiding, Latios can detect the locations and emotions of others using telepathy. Latios can also refract light around itself to make it appear invisible unless the light strikes it just right. Latios is the only known Pokémon that learns Luster Purge.
In the movie Pokémon Heroes, Latias and Latios also had the ability "Sight Sharing" which allowed Latias and people around her to see exactly what Latios is seeing and vice versa.
==Evolution==
Latios does not evolve. However, as of Generation VI, Latios can Mega Evolve, if it holds the Latiosite.

Latios debuted with his sister Latias in Pokémon Heroes. Annie and Oakley captured Latios and used his DNA along with the stolen Soul Dew to power the Defense Mechanism in the museum of Alto Mare. Latios ended up sacrificing himself to save Alto Mare from an enormous tidal wave.
A Latios owned by Tobias was used in The Semi-Final Frontier! in the semi-finals of the Sinnoh League, where he defeated Ash's Sceptile and Swellow and tied with Pikachu.
Latios, along with Latias, have appeared in the 18th movie and Mega Evolved.

===Origin===
Latios is based on jets, dragons, birds, and possibly the concept of yang. Their curious, intelligent, and playful natures as well as their shape resemble that of dolphins. Mega Latios somewhat resembles an Arwing, the spaceships used by the members of the eponymous paramilitary group in Nintendo's Star Fox series.
===Etymology===
Latios and Ratiosu come from "latere" ("to lie hidden" in Latin). The "os" is added to indicate masculinity.
