You have a new opportunity to get Latios in Pokémon GO if you didn't add it to your pokédex in 2018, when it first appeared in the title. Of course, you will have to be prepared for this very weekend, since the special raids will be limited. If you are willing or willing to go out to capture it, here we present a guide so that the feat is less complicated and you have more options to get hold of this legendary Pokémon.
Where and when
Latios, like Latias, come back to Pokémon GO through a special weekend event. It is scheduled to begin on next January 24 at 9 am and end the following Monday the 27th at the same time. So it takes all weekend to get hold of this Pokémon.
The good thing is that it will be available worldwide, so all you have to do is go out and look for these legendary raids, where one of these pokemon will surely appear. Look for the black eggs in raids (5-star raids) to see if it is one of these beings.
How to defeat him
Both Latias and Latios are Psychic Dragon types. From Niantic they recommend taking other dragon-type Pokémon in the team such as Rayquaza, Palkia and DialgaBut if you haven't gotten hold of these other legendary beings, you should know that Eon Pokémon are weak to Ice, Bug, Ghost, Dark, and Fairy types. A good information track to get you a base team. Of course, if you want to go all out, you better follow these steps.
If you are an experienced trainer of level 40, you will only need another friend (with maximum friendship level) in the same conditions as you. And with optimal weather so that nothing gets uphill. But if that's not the case, between four level 20 trainers should suffice.
You should know that Latios has a CP that varies between 2090 and 2178 if captured in normal weather conditions. However, if it's windy (and Squall Gloria looks set to still be around this weekend), his combat points once captured can rise to between 2613 and 2723.
Best Pokémon team to fight against Latios
In PokeBattle they have created an ideal configuration of Pokémon that, due to their characteristics, type, and attacks, can help you defeat and later capture this legendary Pokémon. These are along with his attacks.
- Rayquaza with Dragon Tail and Anger
- Dialga with Dragon Breath and Wyvern Comet
- Palkia with Dragon Tail and Wyvern Kite
- Salamance with Dragon Tail and Anger
- Garchomp with Dragon Tail and Anger
- Dragonite with Dragon Tail and Draco Kite
Of course, if you don't have all these Pokémon, you can alternate them with other beings whose attacks can do a lot of damage to Latios. These are the alternative beings that they propose in PokéBattle:
- Darkrai with Scream and Shadow Pulse
- Haxorus with Dragon Tail and Dragon Claw
- Giratina with Dragon Tail and Shadow Ball
- Chandelure with Misfortune and Shadow Ball
- Hydreigon with Dragon Breath and Shadow Pulse
- Mewtwo with Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball
And, if you're facing Latios in adverse weather conditions, keep in mind that you can substitute your lead Pokémon for one of these. Always paying attention to the weather to benefit from the improvements in attacks.
- Windy: Rayquaza, Salamance or Garchomp
- Mist: Darkrai, Giratina or Chandelure
With all this, and always a good company that supports you and helps to weaken Latios, you will have more chances to capture him. Or at least defeat him and move on to the capture phase. Something that can be done uphill if you don't take into account the types and the pokémon that you must use to defeat it.
