Known as the Eon Pokémon, Latias and Latios are two legendary Pokémon originating from the Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald series of games. They are female and male respectively, and the first legendary Pokémon to have genders. While Latias is red and white, Latios is blue and white, as well as being larger and more angular. While Latias and Latios have received significant criticism for their role in the film Pokémon Heroes, critics citing their voices as well as Latias' human transformation, they have received positive reception for their role in the video games.

As with all the characters introduced in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Latias and Latios were designed by Ken Sugimori with the help of Ruby and Sapphire s development team. Latias and Latios are bird-like dragon Pokémon vaguely resembling Lugia. Latios has mostly the same body shape as Latias, but he is larger.

Latias has a red face with a pentagon like white spot in the middle, while, Latios has a blue face with a oval with an sharp point white spot. They have ears that ends in two points. Latias ear points is separated but Latias are close together.

Latias is highly intelligent and can understand human speech. She can telepathically communicate with others. If Latias senses hostility towards herself, she will ruffle the feathers all over her body and cry shrilly to intimidate her foe. However, she will usually disappear if she senses an enemy, as they are able to use a form of active camouflage by enfolding their bodies with their glass-like coat of down and refracting light in unique ways, allowing them to become invisible or even take on the appearance of a human.
