Pokémon Go Mega Latias weakness, counters and best Latias moveset

Mega Latias is making its Pokémon Go debut during the new Air Adventures event in the Season of Alola.

To get Latias Mega Energy and get a Mega Latias, you must take part in Mega Raids to defeat the Gen 3 variant to add it to your Pokédex.

This is a tough Pokémon to take on solo, so we recommend teaming up with other trainers and knowing the best Mega Latias counters, and the Mega Latias weakness to catch the Pokémon, and maybe even get a Shiny Latias if you’re lucky.

Make sure to check out our Mega Latios weakness and counters page to help defeat it.
