Soar into Battle with Latias in Pokémon UNITE

As the Pokémon UNITE fourth anniversary celebration continues, Latias is making its way to Aeos Island as the latest Pokémon to join the fray! This Dragon- and Psychic-type Pokémon is something of a counterpart to Latios and is ready to rain a flurry of mist down on the battlefield. Read all about how Latias uses its speed to create an advantage for its teammates.

Ability: Levitate

When Latias uses a move, its movement speed increases for a short time. Similarly, when Latios is nearby, Latias’s movement speed increases. When Latios is on the same team as Latias, Latias can fly to Latios.

Levitate can only be used when Latias is not in combat, and it goes on cooldown after it’s triggered.

Basic Attack

Latias’s basic attack deals damage to opposing Pokémon.

Choose One

Confusion

Latias releases a weak telekinetic force in the designated direction, dealing damage and applying a slowing effect to opposing Pokémon it hits.

Swift

Latias shoots star-shaped rays across a large area in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits.

Choose One

Dragon Pulse

After Latias learns Dragon Pulse, it gains Eon power whenever it defeats wild Pokémon. Latias generates a beam in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits and restoring Latias’s HP. If Latias hits a Pokémon from the opposing team with Dragon Pulse, Latias gains Eon power. Dragon Pulse also releases telekinetic projectiles, which deal damage. The more Eon power Latias has accumulated, the more projectiles are released and the more damage they deal. 

If Dragon Pulse is upgraded, its beam also applies a slowing effect to opposing Pokémon.

Dragon Breath

After Latias learns Dragon Breath, it gains Eon power whenever it defeats wild Pokémon. Latias exhales a mighty gust in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits and decreasing their Sp. Def. If Dragon Breath hits Pokémon on the opposing team, Latias gains Eon power. The more Eon power Latias has accumulated, the greater Dragon Breath’s attack range and damage.

If Dragon Breath is upgraded, it also applies a slowing effect.

Choose One

Mist Ball

Latias releases a mist-like flurry of down in the designated direction. After a set amount of time passes, or if Mist Ball is used again, the flurry of down bursts, creating a zone of mist. Opposing Pokémon in the zone take damage, receive a slowing effect, and are marked. Marked opposing Pokémon deal decreased damage. If either Latias or Latios deals damage to marked Pokémon, the duration those Pokémon remain marked increases.

Mist Ball can be upgraded to increase the duration opposing Pokémon remain marked.

Dragon Cheer

Latias rallies the designated ally Pokémon, granting itself and that Pokémon a shield. If the rallied ally Pokémon is Latios, movement speed is also increased. The rallied ally Pokémon’s next attack deals additional damage. Dragon Cheer can be used again to rally a second designated ally Pokémon. If this second usage rallies the same ally Pokémon as the first, Latias also flies to that Pokémon and rallies itself.

Dragon Cheer can be upgraded to strengthen the effect of the shield it grants.

Mist Blast

Latias aims at the designated Pokémon from the opposing team and charges power before releasing a pulse, dealing damage. Latias’s move cooldowns immediately reset and are reduced for a short time. If Latios is also aiming its Unite Move at the designated Pokémon from the opposing team, the pulses stack and explode, dealing damage around the target as well.
