Mega Latios in Pokemon Go

Mega Latios is a dual-type Dragon and Psychic Pokémon and has a huge boss CP of 84000. It is weak towards Ice, Bug, Dark, Ghost, Fairy, and Dragon attacks so players should try to include their best heavy-hitting megas from these counter types in their teams. Experienced players should go into battle with a team of about 6 to 8 trainers to have a fair chance at winning while lower-level players need an even greater number of trainers to stand a chance against Mega Latios.
