The Latios & Latias Quest is one out of many additional, not story related Legendary Pokémon quests and is the way to catch one of the Legendary Pokémon Latios or Latias.
Instructional walkthrough
Accomplishment of the Dex requirements
In order to start the quest you need to have all non-legendary caught data for Hoenn (Generation 3)
Littleroot Town and catching the legendary
Once you have gathered all the evolution data needed, have become Hoenn Champion, and have done the Jirachi (quest), you can travel to Littleroot Town and talk to the reporters located above the Starter House. As a result, you will scare away the Latias next to the reporters and they will disappear after some light dialogue.
Now, enter the starting house and interact with the TV. In case you:
- meet the requirements, you can choose one of the two legendary Pokémon which will be the one you can catch later.
- do not meet any requirement, the TV will show 'nothing interesting'.
Now, when you have chosen your Pokémon, step out of the Starter House and walk up to the location where the reporter was—above the players house. The chosen legendary should appear and be ready to catch. The Pokémon is at level 30, make sure to be prepared for this fight. In case the legendary was not successfully caught, it will respawn with the same Nature, Abiliy and IVs as in their first encounter.
Change your legendary
Changing your chosen legendary once was possible but has been removed with the addition of the World Quest, which makes it possible to obtain the other Pokémon of this duo.
