Speculations for Latias and Latios in Pokemon Unite

Based on recent leaks players have gotten an idea of what to expect from Latias and Latios, despite the absence of specifics. These leaks suggest a distinctive design focused on collaboration and synergy, but they are unverified and should be treated with caution. If accurate, the pair might add a fresh strategic perspective to Unite's team dynamics.

With a toolkit centered on utility, zone control, and buffing allies both offensively and defensively, Latias may adopt a Supporter role, according to these unofficial reports.

Contrarily, Latios seems to lean more toward the offensive side making it potentially stray into the Attacker or All-Rounder territory.
