Latias Weakness

Latias is weak to Ice, Bug, Ghost, Dragon, Dark, and Fairy. It resists 6 types, so it can switch into a lot of moves safely. Levitate grants an additional Ground immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. Latias's special bulk (base 130 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.

Most of Latias's flexibility comes from TMs. Same-type output runs through Draco Meteor and Outrage, but Flying and Ground and the rest of the TM pool push it from predictable to genuinely threatening.

Latias Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Latias is a Legendary Pokemon rated B-Tier. At 600 BST, it hits hard. It excels as a sweeper. Draco Meteor with Choice Scarf is the standard set.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, yes. Mega Latias is the evolved form, sitting at 700 BST. Big power spike over base Latias (600). Equip the Mega Stone and it transforms in battle.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Latias's biggest threats include Walrein (Ice), Pinsir (Bug), and Gengar (Ghost), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Dragon, Dark, and Fairy-type attackers are also a problem. With 6 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter. Latias has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.

  • Latias is a static encounter at Alola Ultra Space Wilds in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Latias appears at level 60. Prerequisite: LIMITED. Save before the encounter. These one-shot Pokemon don't respawn if you knock them out or run out of Poke Balls.

  • Latias gets Levitate. But Levitate is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that. With base 110 Speed, Levitate gives Latias an edge before opponents can react.

Game Availability

Since Ruby & Sapphire, Latias has appeared in 16 games. Legendary Pokemon like Latias are usually found through story events or special post-game areas rather than random encounters.
