Latias in the Pokémon GO Meta
Although we expected more from Latias, its stats are balanced better than a few of the other Dragon types above it. It has great bulk, higher than any other dragon in Pokémon GO, and although its attack is lower than the other dragons, it is still not too bad. It is tied for second to last place with Latios in terms of stamina. Comparing it to the top dragon, Palkia beats out the rest of the dragons, with the highest CP, second highest ATK, and the lowest STA.

From a Psychic type perspective, Latias is just barely better than the mythical mons, Mew, Celebi, and Jirachi but ranks 5th in highest CP. Mewtwo beats out the Psychic types in terms of ATK and Max CP, and Lugia beats Latias as well with higher DEF and STA. Latias is tied in second to last place for STA, sharing 190 with both Metagross and Latios, only Espeon being lower than that.

Its typing makes it a bit hard to use all that bulk, as it has a lot of weaknesses, though the dragon typing gives it a good amount of resistances as well.
Since legendaries cannot be placed in gyms, it can be simply used as a bulky attacker against gyms and raid bosses. Dragon’s super-effectiveness against itself makes it hard to use it against popular gym holder, Dragonite, but it is a decent choice nonetheless.
Sadly, for raw power from the Psychic and Dragon perspective it will be beaten out by Latios, Rayquaza, and Palkia because they are more powerful in terms of attack from the Dragon side and Mewtwo although it is much less bulky, it deals a lot more damage.
Latias Moves and Best Movesets in Pokémon GO
Best moveset: Dragon Breath and Outrage — double Dragon
Latias gets access to a few good STAB and coverage moves in both its fast and charge move slots. Its movepool is very close to Latios’s, only differing in one charge move and its Dragon type charge move.
- Dragon Breath Dragon (fast)
- Zen Headbutt Psychic (fast)
- Psychic Psychic (charged, 1 bar)
- Thunder Electric (charged, 1 bar)
- Outrage Dragon (charged, 2 bars)
Its best move set would be Dragon Breath and Outrage. For the same reason as Latios, Dragon Breath hits a bit faster than Zen Headbutt, and Outrage hits more times per energy cycle than Psychic and Thunder since it is 2 bars and is just superior to other moves
Shiny Latias in Pokemon GO
The Eon Duo are highly sought after shinies in the main games. Regular Latias has a red and white body with a teal triangle on its stomach and yellow eyes. Its shiny is hard to miss as all the red on its body turns to a bright yellow, and the triangle on its chest, as well as its eyes turn lime green.
