Lati@s Mode
Latias & Latios in Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire.
Once the player defeats the Elite Four and becomes Champion, they will return home. Upon going downstairs a cutscene begins and the player can choose either Red
for Latias or Blue
for Latios. At this point, the respective Pokémon becomes a Roaming Pokémon.
These cannot be soft-reset in the standard way, as the PID of the roamer is set during the TV Cutscene upon choosing RED
or BLUE
, immediately after the TV cutscene ends
After the cutscene, if the player has Lati@s registered as SEEN
in their Pokédex, they can check the Area the roamer is currently in. Travelling to a route will make it move, so some pathing manipulation will be needed. If it is not shiny, a reset will then be needed to return to the TV broadcast.
Note - Roamers will attempt to flee instantly in battle. Arena trap doesn't work due to flying. Sleep also doesn't work. It may need a lead pokemon to outspeed with Mean Look
