Trainers, a small update has happened in the Game Master file. Latias no longer has Dragon Claw, replaced by Outrage. Latios move pool is unaffected in this Game Master update.
Here’s how Latias move pool looks now:
| Quick | Charge |
|---|---|
| Dragon Breath Dragon | Psychic Psychic |
| Zen Headbutt Psychic | Outrage Dragon |
| Thunder Electric |
We’re honestly disappointed by this change, as Latias is now left with only single bar charge moves, and despite Outrage being superior damage wise to Dragon Claw, DC is a super fun, niche three bar Dragon type move that felt right at home with the swift member of the Eon duo.
It seems like Niantic is trying to give Latias a bit more power with Outrage, as Latios has the stat advantage. Here are their moves for comparison sake:
- Shared
- Dragon Breath DRAGON (fast)
- Zen Headbutt PSYCHIC (fast)
- Psychic PSYCHIC (charge, 1 bar)
- Latios only:
- Solar Beam GRASS (charge, 1 bar)
- Dragon Claw DRAGON (charge, 3 bar)
- Latias only:
- Thunder ELECTRIC (charge, 1 bar)
- Outrage DRAGON (charge, 2 bar)
Here’s the excerpt from the Game Master file:
