Everything we know about Latios
Latios first appeared in Pokémon Go during April 2018 in Africa and the Americas. It could be fought in raids until May of that year, where it switched locations with Latias and became available in both Europe and Asia.
This legendary Pokémon has also been available through research task breakthroughs and special raid events.
Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire are the first mainline Pokémon games that Latios appeared in While it was a roaming Pokémon in Ruby, Latios could only be found in Pokémon Sapphire if the player had an Eon Ticket. These tickets were only available at distribution events or by using the Eon Ticket e-Card with the e-Reader for the Game Boy Advance.
Latios shares its category, Eon, with Latias, which is how they got the nickname - the Eon Duo. It's possible that their category refers to the concept of aeons in Gnosticism. This is the idea that aeons are the immaterial beings of concepts that exist in pairs of males and females, which are emanated from God.
