Latias & Latios

Latias (, Latias) and Latios (, Latios) are creatures in the franchise. They appear starting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a 2-in-1 Poké Ball Pokémon.
==Origin==
 and are a pair of dual /-type introduced in . Latias and Latios are categorized within the Pokédex as the "Eon Pokémon" at #380 and #381 respectively. In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, one of them, depending on the version for Ruby and Sapphire or the player's choice for Emerald, appears randomly in the wild after beating the Pokémon League roaming the region and attempting to flee after each encounter, while the other can be found in the event-only .

==In Super Smash Bros. Brawl==
===As 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 treated as common Pokémon in Brawl.
Latias & Latios can be avoided by using a recovery move like 's or '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.
