CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Latios understands human language but avoids confrontations. The Pokédex credits it with the ability to show someone an image from its subconscious. It is said to open its heart only to a compassionate Trainer. When it folds its forelegs to cut through the air more effectively, it can fly faster than a jet plane. These entries connect its great intelligence with a form of restraint: its speed allows it to flee or travel without necessarily seeking battle.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Alpha Sapphire explains Latios’s speed through a precise posture: it folds its forelegs to improve its aerodynamics. The same entry says it reserves its trust for a compassionate Trainer. Its closeness to a person therefore depends on their character, not only on its powers.
