For just a few days, the Eon Pokémon from the Hoenn region are back in the Niantic title. We tell you how to beat us and capture them.
The moment has come. The return of Latios and Latias to 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. As we usually do in FreeGameTips, we leave you below with a guide to beat and capture these Legendary Pokémon, of the most beloved of the first generations after their presentation in the Ruby and Sapphire editions about twenty years ago (which is said soon ).
Dates of Latios and Latias in Pokémon GO: January 24-27
Before we begin, let's move on to the most important thing: when can we capture Latios and Latias. As we said, your visit is temporary. We can find them in the Level 5 Raids from this Friday, January 24, 2020 from 22:00 (CEST); until next Monday, January 27 at 22:00 (CEST). We do not know when they will return, but we can find them this time in their various color form. Let's get to know the strategy for combat.
Pokémon GO – Latios and Latias
Getting to know Latios and Latias
We are facing two Dragon / Psychic 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 Zen Heading as fast attacks; Thunder, Psychic and Angry in Charged Attacks. It is not a difficult fight, but you have to be careful. We recommend between 3 and 5 players of level 40. For those who ask, the perfect (Full IVs 100%) is 2507 CP.
-
Latios: 52,220 CP in the Raids; equally, Dragon / Psychic. The problem – and great difference – of this one regarding Latias is that their charged attacks can be Dragon Gara, Psychic and Solar Ray, the latter with 180 power. A beast. It is much more complicated to win if we don't have a good team. His maximum stas to identify the 100% Full IVs is 2723 CP in the final match.

Best opponents to beat and capture the Eon Pokémon
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 go with advantage to be several. We have to assume that we will have to regret someone who prays low, but it is the best way to face the confrontation.
- Rayquaza with Dragon Tail and Anger
- Dialga with Dragoaliento and Comet Draco
- Palkia with Dragon Tail and Draco Kite
- Dragonite with Dragon Tail and Anger
- Salamence with Dragontail and Draco Kite
- Giratina (Original Form) with Umbrian Claw and Shadow Ball
Apart from this raid, we remember that we already know how the election process of the next protagonist of the Community Day of February will be. Looking forward to the next few days, we can enjoy the temporary Lunar New Year event and Minccino research.
