Pokemon TCG Pocket: Best Latios Guide

Learn how to play the best Latios deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket. This guide explains the strategy and decklist for you to utilize its potential.

Latios is a Basic Psychic-type Pokemon card introduced in the Secluded Springs expansion. It appropriately synergizes well with Latias from the same expansion as the two become more useful if the other is on the Bench. So let’s take a look at how a deck with the Eon twins can function in the current meta. 

Pokemon TCG Pocket Best Latios Deck Guide Overview

When Latios is on the Bench, Latias’ Crossing Flights deals 40 damage. This makes it a useful early-game attacker while Latios sets up on the Bench. Once Latios has the necessary Energy attached, it can come in and deal a massive blow with its 120 base power Luster Purge. Since using this move will cause Latios to discard all its attached Energy, make sure you time it right.

If you don’t end up with Latias early on, Giratina ex can work as well. You can set up both Giratina ex and Latios simultaneously each turn and unleash them on your opponent.
