Pokemon Unite: Latios & Latias

Latios and Latias are a ranged attacker and supporter respectively who have the abilities Levitate, which boost their movement speed when they use a move or when they are near each other. Additionally, one can fly to the other across the map, although this does have a cooldown. Lastly, after reaching level 5, they both get an Eon power gauge that is filled when certain moves land, which can have various effects. They both have a choice of two moves, Confusion or Swift. The first applies a slowing effect, while the other simply deals damage. At this level, Latios has Swift get replaced with either Dragon Pulse or Draco Meteor. The first has him dash and guarantee the next basic attack is boosted. It also releases projectiles when the user dashes, and there will be more of them that deal more damage the more Eon power he has. The other has him summon meteors, and there will be more of them which deal more damage the more Eon power he has. At this level, Latias has Swift replaced with either Dragon Pulse or Dragon Breath. The first deals damage while restoring her own, and there are also projectiles which work similarly to Latios’s. The other decreases struck opponent’s special defense briefly, and it will have more range and damage output the more Eon power she has. At level 7, Latios has Confusion replaced with either Telekinesis or Luster Purge. The first applies a slowing effect, and if it is used again on the same opponent, they are briefly left unable to act. It can be used on a different opponent to throw them together and leaving them both unable to act as well. The second marks opponents, which allows him and any allies to deal increased damage to them. At this level, Latias has Confusion replaced with either Dragon Cheer or Mist Ball. The first has an ally deal increased damage with their next two basic attacks. It can be used a second time to do the same to a different ally, or the same one. In the second case, it rallies herself and has her fly to the ally. The other also marks opponents and slows them; marked opponents in this case deal decreased damage Additionally, if either Latios or Latias hits them, they stay marked for longer. Latios and Latias have differently named but functionally similar Unite Moves, which reset and reduce their move cooldowns while aiming a pulse in a designated direction. If the two of them have these land on the same opponent, it’ll deal even further damage. At level 11, Latios’s Dragon Pulse and Draco Meteor will deal more damage equal to a set percantage of their max HP, and Latias’s Dragon Pulse and Dragon Breath will apply a slowing effect. At level 13, Latios’s Luster Purge will leave opponents marked for longer, and Telekinesis will have a greater slowing effect.
