• Psychic (Psychic)
• Solar Beam (Grass)

The best moveset for Latios is Dragon Breath as a Fast Move and Psychic as a Charged Move. This combination offers the highest DPS (damage per second) and TDO (total damage output).

Mega Evolutions and Weather Boost

When facing Latios in raids, trainers can gain an advantage by using Mega Evolved Pokemon. The best Mega Evolutions to use against Latios are:

• Mega Gengar
• Mega Salamence
• Mega Gardevoir

Keep in mind that Mega Latios and Mega Latias, while strong, will be weak to Latios' Dragon-type moves. Latios raids are boosted by Windy weather, increasing its CP and making it more challenging to defeat.

Latios is a powerful legendary Pokemon that requires a well-prepared team of counters to defeat in Pokemon Go raids. By exploiting its weaknesses and using the recommended counters, trainers can emerge victorious and have a chance to catch this elusive Eon Pokemon.
