I also remember looking at the Latias on deviantART. I agree with Gawain that the eyes are a tad smallish. But the lighting is incredibly dramatic and it has a great effect. One thing I might mention though (And I say this to everybody.), try not to shade with black or highlight with white. Especially with the Soul Dew here (which is really well drawn, I might add), I'd go with a more blue/green hue with the light. Though since she's in a black environment in this picture, black shading is okay for this case. Quote:
Since it's more accepted that a Soul Dew-less Latias can play in the OU-tier, I really hope to get a good one. Though without a Soul Dew, I'm kind of at a loss for what item to give her. Any ideas? Leftovers are already taken. Quote:

I still suck at what IV are, but I'm good at EV training. I still gonna use the basic super-sweeper 4HP/252SpA/252Spd or the defensive 4HP/252SpA/252SpDef(if i might gonna run into a Rash one:knockedou). Items? Apart from Soul Dew I use Lum, to unhamper the strategy. Or Salac for the last-ditch move. I've tried using White Herb for Draco Meteor, but it fails when I came across with Intimidators. I've tried Metronome too, and it's OK. I might try using Shell Bell though. |

Now just to actually get a Petaya berry. :/ Also, more HG/SS stuff. I was reading more into the Pokéthlon and how it replaces Pokémon contests. I personally am extremely excited as you can directly control your Pokémon in a variety of events, and you don't need a lame specialized moveset to do well. (I don't think you really need any moveset, but I can't remember.) Your Pokémon's performance is based loosely on their base stats, and the Latis have 5/5 stars in three categories, which is really good. ;D And check it out! I believe these are Latias's and Latios's forward facing overworld sprites (for when they follow you around and stuff)! http://img119.imageshack.us/img119/2744/overworldlatias.png http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/7402/overworldlatios.png |
i downloaded the heartgold rom and tried playing it on my flashcart but it freezes when i save. makes me sad so i can't hack myself a lati and make it follow me around :c

I got this set in Pearl(hoping for Platinum along with SS in Christmas) Latios a.k.a. Gawain @ Soul Dew(if my friends don't permit me this, I'll use Salac) Timid EV's: 4HP/252 SpA/252Spd Draco Meteor Psychic Ice Beam Protect No Thunderbolt? Don't worry, I've got Electavire to kill Gyrados, or Metagross to tank up. The 1st 2 are a must haves STAB(although I regularly switch out because of 2 DMs). Ice Beam's to kill Dragons(and a complement lolz). Protect is for stalling, and to null Extremespeed or Bulletpunch or other always first moves. And this set is best for doubles('cause I like doubles), otherwise I'll switch in a Thunderbolt/Thunder if it's for Singles. That's so so called pokemon contest in HG/SS? Nice. Those sprites? They look like from the PMD's |

How about you try playing a ROM on an emulator, that way you can just use savestates instead. I'll probably just end up waiting till "Spring 2010" when they say it comes out in USA before I get it. :P Quote:
Yeah my Latias is Timid, 252 SPD / 52 SP.DEF / 204 DEF I think, 2 wasted EV's :( Dragon Pulse Thunderbolt Recover Safeguard It's a decent set I suppose. Though I think it's "too" well-rounded for real competitive play. She doesn't specialize well in either sweeping or walling, though she's capable of doing moderately in both. I'm hoping to catch a second Latias in HG to use a more competitive moveset, and switch the two out depending on my mood. xD |

If Latias could use Memento... |

lol, I wouldn't want Latias to learn Memento! D: I'd rather not have her knock herself out. XD |
Hm. Whilst Thunderbolt can kill a lot of Water-types that poses a problem for dragons. That's a good reason. The only problem with that pool is Gengar and tank Ghosts, which is now in better shape than the R/S/E because Ghost type attacks are now mainly SpAs than Atk.

its a hard choice but i think i would rather catch latias. she is so cute and mist ball is an awsome attack

Luster Purge is better... And oi! Are you a member? If you're not, then welcome!

LP and MB looks good in graphics. |
Been a fair while since I last saw this.
Did anyone notice that the two Latis have been under review again along with Skymin and two others? Latios and Skymin have been again classified as Uber while Latias is more then likely to be OU again. Apprantly those three all make pretty good checks for the Chomp, but remove two of them, and it becauses a lot trickier. |
Quote:
Really? Care to link where they are under review? I can't imagine they'd be taking a second look at those three so quickly. How long has it been, a few months? I'm okay with where they are right now. |
Here's the article that said that they were going to be tested: http://www.smogon.com/smog/issue2/suspect_analysis2
And here we are with the current part, Garchomp:http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62400 This is the Dew-less options here still. Latios and Skymin were considered Uber by more then 2/3 of the voters, so they didn't need a revote. If Latias gets more then 50% on two votes, she's Uber, but once under, she'll still stay in the OU. I think from What I'm seeing, Garchomp will stay Uber, while Manaphy will go down to OU joining Latias. Whoever thought that 20 points either way would make you uber? |

Comments you say?
Tier wise, I was kinda hoping that both Latis are reunited, I mean basically we're drawing a line between two similar Pokemon here, its just not right. Then again, at least Manaphy is going down, didn't seem right that Latias should go down while Manaphy stayed. Not that Manaphy is a bad Pokemon, its just I think Latias is better battle-wise. As for the Chomp, I think we can live with him down there, but with people's idea of saying you must be desperate to rely on prediction to win, I'm totally lost. Isn't prediction part of the metagame at least? Still, I don't have trouble with the Chomp, so that's just me. HG/SS wise, the Engima crystal idea is an intresting idea that it was a Soul Dew, only something seemed to have happened to it, (Ruined Soul Dew?) We know that Latios is Golden and Latias is Silver. If you fail to capture it there and now, it'll want to play a game with you called "tag in the Kanto region" and you're it. This means at last that the Latis will finally be available for Gen 4 capture now with the loss of the GBA slot. Pokethon wise, teamed up with Shaymin-S, (None of my other Pokemon for some reason seemed to have enough strength, The Latis them selves only with 2 stars) clean swept the whole lot and now have gold statues of them in the Hall of Fame. Well, I hope that all Pokemon are going to be in the upcoming mini games in Rumble and the new PMDs. From what I can see, you have to trade in a Lapras and a Vaporeon for a Phione, who in thier right mind would do that? Then again, I've seen a lot of weird trades for legendaries. Apparantly you can get a lot of the same Pokemon since you need at least 5 of one to evolve. Hopefully the Latis have got much lighter requirements. I have next to no idea about the Mini PMDs, so can't help much there. Speaking of which, why do people keep refering to Sky as PMD 3 when quite clearly its the third game of the PMD 2 set. Did people call Yellow Pokemon 2? I also think its time for a new Avatar, problem is, I don't know what to do there. |
I will join I guess. They are awesome. I have 10 aniv of both on my pearl.

And wow, I never thought Shaymin Sky forme is a Uber, although I never used that forme. I have used only the Land(thanks for my friend who glitched the game ^_^). ^ and you're welcome to join newbie. |
I thought it was only Dewless Latias that was OU?
Sure she's still a bit chunky, but 110 Sp A is still worth a fair bit no matter how you look at it. Not to mention I can't remember the last time she's gone down easily. If anything, she becomes more of that essential part that gels everything together and can play any role, be it a killer or just there to sponge. I'm sure Latias will still be OU, but that makes it an intresting note as pairs that have opposite Def and Att stats are usually of the same rank. Who ever thought 20 points relocated can make a huge differance? |
EV trained Latias for attacking is quite a different, although I rather use her a wall, while Latios can do the sweeping. And yeah, I'm quite annoyed with people using Latias as a wall, and the only thing that can easily penetrate Latias' defenses is my Snorlax with Curse/Crunch and Umbreon with Toxic and the CC.
20 points is really a good difference. ^_^ |
