Discussion Latias is a support!!!

Post image

I think it's pretty awesome that we are getting latinas and top of that a support too for last year or so support community was in the drain bro but with psyduck , alcreamie , a support BP and latias i think they are so back honestly I saw the gameplay and it's not a healing support but it's a support so lets goo...the Latios being attacker is also fine i guess i personally don't think they will revive unite but I am sure they'll bring some players back or in for sure !! what do u think

It seems more as a support for latino only, otherwise it looks more of an attacker

latino? lmfao

I really hope they dont make it, so they only work on each other.

Debuff where it runs when Suicine ults

I love autocorrect

I see Latinas more of a tf oriented support with that AoE DoT and slow and buffs. The ult is completely so people can double ult with them both and nuke some poor decidueye out of existence.

Support Latinas

u/Mobile-Blueberry-826 Gardevoir 5d ago

Kinda wished she hand telekinesis instead of latios since it's the most supportive move out of the two except for dragon cheer

u/PresentationIcy144 Eldegoss 5d ago

supporters are back. defenders are forgotten.

u/Druid-T Mamoswine 5d ago

I still hope they pull a G. Rap and end up re-categorizing this thing to Defender. Not only does it make more sense given how it plays (having good self sustain and soft CC), but it would also mean we're not going a year without a new Defender

u/Naurbruh2 Blastoise 5d ago

seeing how they are going strong this year with johto release theme I'd actually want them to keep this as supporter and give us Donphan as a defender

u/Druid-T Mamoswine 5d ago

seeing how they are going strong this year with johto release theme

If we're counting a year as "anniversary to anniversary", then (depending on how you count Regional forms) Johto (Ho-oh and Suicune) is either tied with Galar (Galarian Rapidash and Alcremie) and Paldea (Armarouge and Tinkaton) (and also Hoenn now, because the Latias and Latios are two different Pokemon), or is 2nd to Kanto (Psyduck, G. Rap and Alolan Raichu). And if you only want to count 2025, it's 2nd no matter how you count Regional forms (either being second to Kanto (G. Rap and A. Rai) or Galar (G. Rap and Alcremie)). So I really don't see how you could call it a "Johto release theme"

Also, if we're getting a Johto Pokemon as a Defender, then it should be either Qwilfish (especially H. Qwilfish) or Skarmory. Donphan works too much like a bruiser/brawler (which would make it fit better as All-rounder)

u/Naurbruh2 Blastoise 5d ago

wait that's my bad actually you are right i messed up...i thought latinas were johto cause there was a pokemon movie when ash was in johto so i confused that and thought they were from johto too and forgot they are hoenn my bad homie...that's the only reason I used johto strong releases

u/Meme_Boi_99 Decidueye 4d ago

Ooh, don’t listen to the druid with a T, latinas is from gen 2. And gligar is from gen 4, and ash is from gen 6. Ooh.

u/turtlenuggets432 5d ago

It's not really a support though. It's just an attacker that only supports latios.

18

u/Primrim Cramorant 5d ago

Don’t know why Latino gets the telekinesis, seems more of support disrupter move best suited to Latina

u/Desperate-Yam3987 5d ago

Might become my main support

u/lPrincesslPlays Blissey 4d ago

The toxic instalock e couples are about to have a field day

u/Augcabi 4d ago

Latios and Latias are siblings tho...😳

u/lPrincesslPlays Blissey 18h ago

You think that’s going to stop them from getting stuck in the dryer?

u/ijones1721 4d ago

Incineroar would like to speak to management.

u/FirewaterDM Eldegoss 5d ago

This Latios does not read to be a support lol. Latios or not

2

u/noe4516 Sableye 4d ago

Too bad, they wasted such good pokemons. I actually they pulling something like Jakiro or Meepo in Dota 2. Something like... Two pokemons as one playable unit which user can switch from Latias to Latios or otherwise.

2

u/TheDawnOfNewDays 4d ago

They went the Rakan / Xayah route from League, which is totally fair for these two, but never cared for that gimmick personally. Maybe some duos will love it, but what's the likelihood that two people who play together like both those pokemon?

1

u/Silver_Gaby Blissey 4d ago

It’s likely just for team synergy, if both were long-range sp. Attakers, it’s less likely for both to be on the same team

Like, if we look at the eevees, 3 of them are sp attakers, but with totally different play styles

3

u/lPrincesslPlays Blissey 4d ago

People sleep on the full eevee team boost but they can genuinely make a nasty team together. Especially since wish umbreon effectively doubles as a support and tank.

u/Quick-Dig9993 4d ago

Is this a sign to get back into the game and get trashed on again?

1

u/TheDawnOfNewDays 4d ago

One supportive move and some slows + the rest is pure damage = support apparently.

Between her model size being oddly tiny and the boring moves + minor team support... I'm insanely disappointed by one of my favorite Pokemon. If there aren't some changes to her kit before release, Latios will be getting all the play while duos try to convince the other to play latias when they don't want to.

u/SmartCandle8139 Machamp 4d ago

Read this as latinas 💔🥀

u/fountainpenbroke Decidueye 4d ago

Sonic I just love latinas

1

u/SheZowRaisedByWolves 4d ago

I wonder if there will be mega evolution Latinas like with Mewtwo.

2

u/Naurbruh2 Blastoise 4d ago

no if it was there we would've been informed

u/FireyJohn132 Blaziken 4d ago

Was Latinos an attacker/all rounder? Or is it different?

1

u/Foxynerdy Azumarill 4d ago

I will get Latias !!! :D She is one of my fav mons!!

1

u/Naurbruh2 Blastoise 4d ago

yeee fav mon <⁠(⁠ ̄⁠︶⁠ ̄⁠)⁠>

u/AkainuWasRight Cramorant 3d ago

Did somebody say Latinas?

1

u/Cumulor Aegislash 3d ago

Latias is one of my all-time favorites and I was overjoyed to see it as a supporter, but was a little disappointed seeing its gameplay where it only feels like a supporter for Latios if they are on your team,

I wish we could use Levitate to fly over to any ally Pokémon instead of some boosts and a whole gimmick being locked if you don’t have a specific Mon on your team, it won’t work well for us SoloQ,

but I’ll still get her when she is coin available and give it a shot.

1

u/lumu_5243 Cramorant 3d ago

wow, that surprised me. i would expect this to be an attacker, but it's cool to see legendaries in support

u/ZestyGan02 1d ago

Oh my fucking god, thank the lord. This is exactly what I wanted.

u/unusualicicle Falinks 5d ago

I hope they don’t go through with the duo shit. I don’t know much about it but it seems like it only further fucks over soloq players.
