Mega Latios is making its Pokémon Go debut during the new Air Adventures event in the Season of Alola.
To get Latios Mega Energy and get a Mega Latios, you must take part in Mega Raids to defeat the Gen 3 variant to add it to your Pokédex.
This is a tough Pokémon to take on solo, so we recommend teaming up with other trainers and knowing the best Mega Latios counters, and the Mega Latios weakness to cath the Pokémon, and maybe even get a Shiny Latios if you’re lucky.
Make sure to check out our Mega Latias weakness and counters page to help defeat it.

Below you can find the Mega Latios weaknesses, with some counter suggestions, to help you defeat it in Pokémon Go:
- Latios type – Dragon and Psychic

- Latios counters – Mega Houndoor, Rayquaza, Zekrom, Dialga, Reshiram, Salamence, Giratine Origin
- Other Latios notes – If you’re lucky enough to have them, another Mega Latios or Mega Gengar will boost party and same type damage while they last.
