The moment has come. Latios and Latias’ return to the Pokémon GO Raids is a fact; This time the two together and without the need for EX Raid passes, with the addition of even showing us shiny.

Latios and Latias dates on Pokémon GO: June 12-16

Before we begin, let’s move on to the most important thing: when we can capture Latios and Latias. As we said, your visit is temporary. We can find them in Level 5 Raids from this June 12, 2020 from 08:00 until next Tuesday, June 16 at 22:00 (local time).

Getting to know Latios and Latias closely

We are dealing with two Dragon / Psychic type Pokémon, although Latios is slightly more powerful than Latias. Let’s get to know each of the protagonists a bit before breaking down our candidate sextet to fight them:

  • Latias: 48,080 CP in the Raids, with the possibility of attacking us with Dragoaliento and Cabezazo Zen as fast attacks; Thunder, Psychic and Anger in Charged Attacks. It is not a difficult fight, but you have to be careful. We recommend between 3 and 5 level 40 players. For those who ask, the perfect one (Full IVs 100%) is 2507 CP.

  • Latios: 52,220 CP in the Raids; likewise, Dragon / Psychic. The problem —and a big difference— from this one compared to Latias is that its charged attacks can be Gara Dragon, Psychic and Sunbeam, the latter with 180 power. A beast. It is much more complicated to beat if we do not have a good team. His maximum stas to identify the 100% Full IVs is 2723 CP in the final combat.

Best opponents to beat and capture Pokémon Eon

There is a common denominator in almost all the counters we have chosen to face Latios and Latias: they are dragons. The reason is simple: dragons are super-effective against dragons and, although the damage is reciprocal, we have the advantage of being several. We have to assume that some who are praying low will have to be regretted, but it is the best way to face the confrontation.

  • Rayquaza with Dragon Tail and Anger

  • Dialga with Dragoaliento and Cometa Draco

  • Palkia with Dragon Tail and Draco Comet

  • Dragonite with Dragon Tail and Anger

  • Salamence with Dragon Tail and Draco Comet

  • Giratina (Original Shape) with Umbria Claw and Shadow Ball

We remember that we already have available in FreeGameTips all the investigations, rewards and shiny June (2020). Likewise, the 2020 Reotrno Challenge has already started with its special research Challenge Return Championship, from which we break down here all its missions and rewards.
