OH GUYS YOU ARE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT [email protected] AND COMPETITIVE BATTLING. AND I NEVER UNDERSTAND ANY OF IT.

Why can't we talk about [email protected] and butterflies? ;~;
Oh crap! A butterfly! That's what this drawing needs! Thanks for reminding me. It's a very important motif.

HAY BUTTERFLIES! I wonder if Beautifly would make a good partner for Latias. :B Latias is naturally weak to bug types, so having one as a partner may offer some strategic possibilities.

...so long as the Beautifly doesn't turn coat and attack Latias instead that is! :0


Ooooh! Can I join please?? The Lati movie is my favourite one! I prefer Latias out of the two!
Of course you can join! Welcome to the club! ^^

Welcome, Water Pokémon Specialist!
So... Has the decision for Latios been reached yet?
Unfortunately not yet. I just took a stroll by the forum again. Final results aren't out yet, but according to the admins there, the numbers are really close, compared to Latias's vote, which was a landslide. Let's cross our fingers!

Time for some fanart. This Latias was originally going to be the main character of R-9WM "Mastermind", but I decided to go with Mewtwo since I already have a Latias in my other fic. "Prime Mechanique," very roughly translated, means "ultimate mechanism." And I forgot the butterfly, dangit.

EDIT: Dead thread is dead.

I already commented on your picture on deviantART, which I think is really good, btw. ~_^

Anyways, I think I missed the final verdict regarding Latios on Smogon. But unless it's explicitly said so somewhere, I think Latios is unfortunately staying Uber. This means that her little sister will have to face the masses alone. :0

Oh well, she's a tough one, so she should have no problem in the OU tier without her brother. :B

I got Platinum recently, so I'm going to see if I can get Latias over there to test the waters of the Battle Frontier. Heck, I might even soft-reset on my Sapphire for another Latias if I can't trade mine from Pearl. x3 Any other Lati-related news among you guys?

I'm burning through Emerald to get another Latias as well, but it's time consuming. Otherwise, there ain't a ton to talk about Eon Dragon-wise.

In other news, the guy in your avatar/sig looks like Clave from my fanfic. Or at least his weapon is similar. Odd.
Well, it's the render of an Assassin from Ragnarok Online. I found it in Planet-renders. Lol.

I would totally post more if there was anything to talk about other than competitive battling with Eon Pokémons. I never understood it. ~_~'

Anyways, that's a good fanart. I like. Lol.

Uber Latios? I was afraid of that, there does seem to be a fine line between the two, and that line seperates the Ubers from the OUs. Bad result, if Latios went to OU tier, that would've opened the doors for many others, I've said many times that they either both stay in Uber tier or both go to OU tier. Oh well, guess we'll be seeing some others be tested now as we start on 5th gen battling soon.

Can I join please? Latios and Latias are two of the best legendaries ever. I use Latios while my gf uses Latias...xP
They really are the best, aren't they? :P Welcome to the club!

It's a minor disappointment. But I guess it'll pass, lol. More people are fond of Latias anyway. Funny because I actually think she is more effective in battle than Latios because of her versatility. Her higher defenses make her a more durable dragon, while her SP.ATK is nothing to sneeze at.

Have you actually heard anything about 5th Gen yet? Or are you just throwing that out there in speculation?

Unless you could EV train Latios for Defence and Sp. Defence, Latios will stand barrages. And I believe Latios has the Speed advantage?

No news about the 5th yet.

Yeah, but then I think that hurts his ability to shine as a Latios. xD I dunno. If you EV train the Latis for their opposite stat, they both become very similar to each other. But I suppose a Latios EV'd for SP.ATK poses enough of a threat to still be considered an Uber.

And the Latis' speeds are equal.

Oh, and as a side note, aren't the roaming Latis programmed like the roaming dogs? - To have 0-1 for IVs in 4 Stats?
That's a good question, but I don't know. I remember getting my Latias's IVs tested (her ATK IV was the highest, just my luck ¬_¬) and I think she might've showed the same pattern. She had like some number in ATK, and most of the others were shockingly low. Why would they nerf them like that? D:

Yeah, and maybe it depends on their nature. My Latios and Latias in E are both Rash(wow, coincidence), and Latios is faster maybe because of it's nature.

Hm, well a Rash nature neither improves nor reduces the SPD stat. Did you keep track of their EVs? Because that's what makes the most significant difference after Natures. If those are also the same, then it really comes down to the IVs.

In Pearl, both my Latias and Latios are timid. :P The Latias I spent a month soft-resetting for, and the Latios I settled with after a day because I didn't want to spend another month finding a Modest one. XD

Haven't keep track of their EVs. 'Cause I train them both in Victory Road where there's lot of Hariyamas and Lairons... and they both have surprising good HPs...

And I don't know anything about IVs...

Well, IVs are basically just random hidden numbers assigned to each stat that lightly weigh upon which stats are boosted more. They could all be very high or all be very low, it's completely random.

Anyways, I beat the E4 in Platinum and I'm waiting to borrow my friend's DS so I can transfer my Pokes over from Pearl. In the meantime, I've been testing out the Battle Frontier there. As sort of a tossup topic,


What are some effective strategies for use by the Latis in the Platinum Battle Frontier?


The Battle Castle is probably a big question for me. Seeing as you cannot use the Soul Dew there, the Latis' power is greatly reduced, so it'd be interesting to see how one would compensate for that.

Of course you can join! Yeah, saving the Master Ball for catching the Latis at the end of the game was tough, especially having to face Kyogre/Groudon beforehand. But of course, it's all worth it in the end.

Sorry for unannounced inactivity on my part again. AP tests are right around the corner so all my time is devoted to them. I hope to get some Lati-related fan art done afterward to post here. :D

By the way, does anyone know any good movesets for Latios? I still haven't trained the one I got from my Ruby yet and I'm a little unsure what to teach him. I don't want him to be a clone of my Latias.

Calm Mind/Charge beam(not usually recommended...)
Dragon Pulse
Ice beam/Thunderbolt/Energy Ball(my move)
Psychic

Hm, looks promising. I might switch out Dragon Pulse for Energy Ball or something since Latias already knows Dragon Pulse and Thunderbolt. I don't plan on using Latios by himself. I have enough Ice Beamers on my team already. I was considering a Dark move like Dark Pulse or something.

I'll keep thinking... ¦D

In other news, AP testing is done for me, so I'm going to see if I can get some fanart up and running soon!

I have some fantastic fanart planned, but I have no time. Curse you, college!

As for a Latios moveset? I'd have to think about it, but Smogon is always a good place to start.
