It'd be another half hour if Latios didn't start to fall off since Gen VI. It was still a powerful threat but even more exploitable than ever. It's lackluster mega began to outclass base latios which tells you everything concerning Latios' flaws in later gens.

And it used Draco Meteor" Gen 8: "It used Draco Meteor" Thanks for watching everyone, and I hope you tune into the next episode of False Swipe Gaming.
Tobias and his team was literally a cop out to make ash lose. How did he get them? How was his battle against Cynthia after winning the league? Where did he go after? Why didn't he participate in the World Championship in Galar? So many unanswered questions we will never get
Does Latios/Latias breed in the show canon? The only legendary I can think of that we're explicitly shown/told of it having offspring is Lugia *wayyyyyyy* back in the day. It was regularly implied there's only 1 of each legendary (with some limited exceptions like Lugia of course), and Ash has met and directly interacted with both Darkrai and Latios lol. Why would they even battle him and not just be like "yo bro long time no see, I'm stuck with this chump somehow."
@@kylegonewild In the anime movie the Lati@s are the children of a former guardian Latios who also sacrificed itself for the city, so at the very least that Latios father canonically had children Latis.
I like to believe that Tobias's other Pokemon are actually weaklings like Pidgey and Weedle, and Cynthia defeated Darkrai and Latios, leaving him with only weak mons. He had to forfeit, and he was so devastated by his loss that he released his Pokemon and killed himself in front of them.
Latias and Latios are two of my favorite Pokémon of all time. I love how in spite of being Gen 3 Pokémon, they feel like they could fit right at home in Gen 2, representing many of Gen 2’s new additions- roaming Legendaries, held items, actual Dragon-Type moves, and the split Special stats, as well as being the first Legendaries to have determined genders as well.
One time in my senior-year art class, I made a little tinfoil sculpture of Latios (it wasn’t all that good) and it was the Pokémon that really helped me beat the Brains at Johto’s Battle Frontier. Couldn’t exactly bring in the Soul Dew, but Choice Specs was a good substitute.
I'd love to see the Hitmontop Theorem someday, focused on why some Pokemon can be S Tier for Doubles, but bottom of the barrel for Singles, and vice versa.
I’d love it if he just had three Magikarps and a Caterpie. Like the rest of his team is garbage, but it doesn’t matter when you have Darkrai and Latios pulling so much weight.
At least Entei and Lucario; in the japanese opening of the league arc, Ash is seen battling Darkrai, Entei and Lucario, implying that was something planned possibly
Since the vid came out before the Indigo Disk, the Lati twins have been buffed, like their signature moves becoming stronger than Psychic and getting new moves for support or momentum.
I think it speaks for OU's historical lack of foresight when the higher-ups were *_HUNGERING_* to add Latios onto their tier as early as Gen 4, even when it was bloody obvious it was way too strong.
After using it for stuff in a Ribbon Master quest and clearing the Battle Frontier in Emerald, Latios has honestly become a recent new favourite pokemon for me, I've honestly loved using it.
I saw this video just a couple of minutes after the upload. And I was like "How in the world did I not notice that there was no video about Latios yet?" Maybe partly because Latias was already covered years ago 😂 But hey better late than never. Great to see that this boy which I definitely like as a Pokémin straight up ruled and destroyed things left and right!! 😊❤
As a huge Hoenn fan (Emerald was my first game) this was spectacular. Was it sad to see such a legend fall? Yes. But the impact it has on the series, will live on for eons.
Now that you mention it, I'm only now realizing Latios learning Memento might be a reference to Pokémon Heros... And he actually uses it in niche setups too.
Got to love the Outro part while giving a shoutout to Joey in the agency of his favorite mon for sure! But I didn’t expect it to have this amount of success going for it since only catching it post game and such.
Fortunately, the real goal of Ash In Diamond and Pearl was to defeat Paul and prove to him that treating your Pokemon well is a better training method than just thinking about strength and not how your Pokemon feel.
Really, when was it that FSG ever uploaded a Latios vid? The Latias vid had been around for a while, but I’m not aware of any Latios vid prior to today
Kinda makes you wonder how long the Lati twins could be seen within the same team & how common it was to do so throughout their careers. Also, what might some physically based teammates go best with them even after the Fairy type was brought in?
Unpopular oppinion: Latios was the main reason for the introduction of the fairy type. No other Pokémon in OU has had a move so spammable as Latios's Draco Meteor in Gen 5. It was the ultimate: "Press the purple button to kill something."
That’s not an unpopular opinion, that’s just facts. Gen 5 VGC and OU were quite literally flooded with strong as hell fighting and dragon types, with like you said, latios at the head of the pack.
It's my headcanon that Tobias tried to challenge the Sinnoh Elite Four and was absolutely crushed, even with Darkrai and Latios. Gosh I hated him so much. Such a stupid way to prevent Ash from winning the Sinnoh league and over extending the Anime.
You know, the funny thing about that trainer with Latios and Darkrai... We definitely know there are more than one pair of Lati's. Because it shows multiple at the end of said same movie. So it makes sense he could have that... Darkrai? There is no answer for that one.
No mythical or legendary is truly one of a kind. Same region as Tobias; we see a cresselia and a darkrai fight over canalave city. And alamos town, the site of movie 10 had ANOTHER darkrai residing there that died. The one of a kind and no breeding deals are more the games balancing themselves so you can’t just breed perfect legendary and mythicals.
Latios was the pinnacle of power back in Gens III-V. It's a shame to see it fall off in later gens even with massive buffs and improvements to its offensive utility. If it returns to SV, I don't see tera as doing much to improve it. With so many incredible mons introduced in SV such as Iron Valiant, Iron Moth, Enamorous, Gholdengo, Kingambit, and Ting-Lu, Latios will have a hard time breaking through certain team architypes. It's even below UU in SV National Dex. Here's hoping it gets a serious buff such as u-turn, expanding force, hurricane, and earth power to improve its just decent offensive utility.
Psychic/Dragon is just not a good typing anymore though for Gen 9 Standards - honestly even Hydreigon is a better Pick than Latios cuz like Dark and Ghost resistance are a bigger deal and Dragapult has U-turn resistance and fighting immunity as well as normal like why would you use Latios over Dragapult and Hydreigon ? Ghost/dragon and Dark/Dragon are just better typings defensively and offensively But Latios was really good in Gen 3-5
It was good to see Tobias in the anime for once though. We have all been that trainer at some point in our lives using OP Legendaries and on WiFi battles
latios: the meteor pokemon: once known as the eon pokemon, after it was discovered it would strike anything it didn't like with a meteor, it was changed to the meteor pokemon ability: caticlismic impact: all cosmic moves(stars, singularitys, and meteors) gain +1 priority the first time its used each time its switched in
They already did something similar to this for OU quickbans, if I remember correctly, but there’s still a handful from lower tiers and even some new OU candidates I can think of. Gen 8 UU Latios, Gen 7 UU Gyarados, and Gen 9 (Home update) Regieleki all come to mind immediately.
It still sucks that mega latios/latias didn’t get at least +10 in base speed stat. Maybe when mega evolutions return to msg, we can see some stat changes for some megas.
How about we don't and actually give weak Pokemon good buffs, and use a system like Z-Moves, that has much more creativity in strategy than megas ever did
@@gnomefrompinkerton This. Pokemon like Beedrill, Lopunny, or Banette can't be fixed without fundamentally changing what they are. +10 speed and Megahorn aren't making Beedrill good, they probably aren't even pulling it out of ZU. Your options are megas, or just third evolutions for the two stagers, though that's not really "fixing" the base pokemon, as Eviolite Lopunny or Banette still aren't turning heads, and Lopunny evolving into Ursaluna with bunny ears doesn't really fulfill that desire to use Lopunny. While megas tended to be dominated by already good pokemon getting better, they were still more egalitarian than Z-Moves, Dynamax, or Tera, which pretty much exclusively benefit the strongest pokemon, since they use them better. There has never been another mechanic that made people look at something down in PU or NU and decide "This. I can work with this" besides one off hard counters of specific overcentralizing pokemon. People hated it when it was a thing, but never forget one of the best megas was Kangaskhan of all things. If you told someone in gen 5 that Kangaskhan would be banned to Ubers next generation, and would be a top VGC threat, they would laugh at you.
@@egbertmilton4003 yeah man i love the strategy of pressing two buttons and one shotting a pokemon i shouldve never have in the first place, on top of not knowing which hyper offense mon is gonna use it. So fun.
Fun fact: Latios is one of the many reasons why Omega Ruby is way better for speedrunning than Alpha Sapphire.
Nice to know that six generations later, Latios is still doing what it always did: outrunning things and dropping Dracos.
But 6 generations later now Latios has competition with Dragapult and Hydreigon for the same Draco meteoring role as well
@@gnomefrompinkertonEven in NatDex, Latios is currently sitting within RUBL. Hydreigon is in UU while Dragapult was actually banned to Ubers.

On the topic of Tobias, if his first Pokémon was Darkrai and then soon after he brought Latios…
…what even was the rest of his team?
Heatran , Latias, Entei , Celebi lol 😂
Probably a Garchomp too! Gotta have him get the uncountered bastard in Gen IV
Suicune, Mew, Zapdos and Zigzagoon
@@bryanc1772 Probably a Cresselia too, to soothe him from all of the nightmares Darkrai gives him lol.
He definitely had a Latias (can’t have one without the other), but other than that, I have no idea.
I’m surprised this video isn’t an hour long with all their history
mostly because he has stayed in one tier mostly
I don't think it really takes an hour to say Latios puts on a choice item and spams Draco meteor.
I don’t think it really takes an hour to say that Latios puts on a choice item and spams Draco meteor.
Seriously, i was thinking that exact same thing.

Latios's Draco Meteor feels a lot like seeing Crimson Glow Valstrax Ambush pop up in Monster Hunter and feel the panic setting in.
Quick someone play Valstrax’s theme whenever Latios uses Draco Meteor
And the Mega is the Risen 💀

That's happened - it's called the Incineroar theorem. Why the format is everything.
I love latios. I got a shiny one last week in emerald and it has been amazing for the battle frontier.
I remember getting Latios and to this day its my favorite pokemon
I think the real question is: What were Tobias's other 4 mons
to this day to this day i still ask this question man that keeps me up at night.

The little Tobias rant at the beginning made me nostalgic
it was awesome knowing Latios got a world championship under his belt. Great to see it in gen 7 and even gen 8 vgc!
