Raid guide
How the fight goes and what to bring.
Latias shares Latios's Dragon/Psychic typing and its long weakness list (Bug, Ghost, Dark, Ice, Dragon, Fairy), so counters are easy to assemble and the raid is duo-able. Where Latias earns its keep is PvP: its bulk makes it a durable Dragon in Ultra and Master League with Dragon Breath and Outrage/coverage. It's a lower priority than the game's premier Dragon attackers for pure raiding, but a nice pickup for GBL players.
Mega Latias resists Electric, Fighting, Fire, Grass, Psychic, Water — leave those attackers out even if they are your highest CP.
