Full type matchup guide →Mega Evolution
Latios can Mega Evolve into Mega Latios (still Dragon / Psychic). Mega Evolution uses Candy plus Mega Latios Energy, boosts Dragon or Psychic attackers depending on lobby needs, and only one Mega or Primal can be active at a time. Shadow Latios cannot Mega Evolve — purify first if you want the Mega.
