As requested, I have the intel you requested on the Lati that Ghetsis captured in Earth 82. However it is important to acknowledge all previous data before discussing the new discovery. Below is all previously known Lati information cataloged by Cipher scientist Dr. Joseph Gregavich from Earth 63. I have cross referenced it with other sources to confirm its accuracy.

Latios and Latias are known for the incredible speed and versatile list of abilities, as well as thier long lifespans. Lati can live up to 1,000 years before being considered old, even then true physical degradation is unlikely to start until 2,000 years of age.

Lati mature in a very odd way, for the first 20 years of their life they are small and relatively helpless. From the ages of 21-25 they undergow a gowth spurt, reatching bilogocal maturity at 26 years of age. Afterward, their aging slows to a crawl. This odd childhood is likely an adaptation to survive dramatic population losses that the Lati have suffered in the past.

However, a lack of data and observation has caused a slight misconception in regards to their capabilities. Lati do not naturally possess all the abilities they are known for besides speed. In reality there are multiple types of Lati with specific talents over others. The known body types are as follows.

Empath: Empaths are a rare Lati Body type, and for multiple reasons. Highly considered to be the weakest and least emotionally stable of all the Lati types, They are Lati who can share pain, emotions, and thoughts easily, and are slightly inferior in all forms of attacks and speed. They are instead known for their healing abilities, and as such, can learn Heal pulse and Healing wish.

This type is considered Rare.

Skydancer: The lightest of the Lati types, they are well renowned for their aerial acrobatic skills, along with their high resistance to G-forces and considerably higher top speed. Often clumsy on land, but they fare quite well in water. They are slightly smaller than most Lati and their special attack and speed is the highest of all the body types, but their normal attack and defense are the lowest. All other attributes are standard.

This type is the rarest of all body types.

Colossus: The heaviest of all the lati body types, they are feared as heavy combat and hunting specialists, capable of striking ferociously hard, and taking attacks without flinching. Often quite large, a Latias with this body type is often 1.8 times larger than a normal Latios Their Attack and defense are the highest, but their speed is the lowest. All other attributes are standard.

This body type is Extremely rare

Shade: The stealthiest of all the Lati body types, they are highly skilled in stealth, like all Lati, they naturally possess a psychic field that surrounds their body, which activates their skins ability to warp light. Unlike other body types, they are constantly generating a cloaking field. This results in them being semi-transparent at all times. Due to the constant cloak their hide gained the ability to alter molecular density. They lean towards a ghost typing, rather than a psychic, and are able to phase through anything. Metal can be smelted and mixed with argon gas to create super-tangible materials to contain them.

This body type is uncommon

Changeling: The most psychic based of all the lati, changelings are well known for their ability to easily "change" into a different form, able to blend into populations of humans, other Lati, and, at times, larger flying types. Their ability to change is not an actual metamorphosis, but an extremely complex illusion, tricking the user's mind, and anyone/thing around it, to see and feel the user as what it is transformed into. Their Psychic Manipulation far exceeds that of any known Pokemon, able to manipulate and alter the minds of others with little to no concentration. Data on the full extent of mind controlling capabilities is limited due to most Lati herds forbidding control of other living beings. Changelings possess the ability to teleport, however, they are limited by distance, unlike normal psychic types. However if a location is memorized it can be warped to with enough power and concentration.

This body time is common.

Current chaser: The most water based of all the body types, Current chasers are the fisherman of the Lati species. They often prefer being in water, and can hold their breath for considerably longer than most, allowing them to hunt for deep sea Pokemon. Naturally resistant to cold, Current chasers are often used as a vanguard against ice types. Their HP and Special Defense is the highest of all the body types, and their speed is high, but Special attack is low. The rest of their stats are standard. Able to learn Hydro Pump. Their ears are considerably better than other body types.

This body type is common.

Feral: A Feral is the most physical of all the body types with the sole exclusion of the Colossus, and as such, is easily identified due to their rougher hide and considerably larger/longer claws and fangs. They are high in attack and defense, along with Special attack, however, they have a low special defense. They also learn dark attacks easier than most. However it is considered as a vile skill to most Lati and is frowned upon to the extent that Ferals hide the ability, so it is unknown which attacks they actually can learn beyond the standard Shadow Claw.

This body type is common.

Note that there are Hybrids of each body type as well, with watered-down traits of both of their parents. there are rare cases of perfect hybrids, but only one Latios has ever been captured with such skills. In earth 63 there was a single Latios with all known body types rolled into one thanks to his two perfect hybrid parents, despte resembling a skydancer more than anything. Due to the Cipher facility's self destuct feature he escaped, his whereabouts for the last 30 years are unknown...

Ghetsis's team discovered a new addition to Lati types. It is believed that each herd have a special ability that only Lati born in the herd can pass on. It is rare as it takes a descendant of the original members of the herd and is prone to skipping a generation or not manifesting at all despite possessing it. The four herds in Sinnoh, Kanto, Unova and Kalos abilities are listed below. Be advised as data is limited and could be downplayed or incorrect. All abilities give a massive boost to psychic and physical power when activated.

Unova: Void- a black psychic symbol resembling a sphere on the forehead between the eyes. It can drain the energy from the surrounding area to benefit the user. This allows the Lati to drain the life force of plants and Pokemon, harming their foe and empowering themselves.

Kanto: Ice- appears as a jagged icicle symbol within the red or blue triangle on a Lati's chest. Possibly developed in response to the herd's former homes on Mt. Silver, this ability grants immunity to cold and ice as well as cryokinetic abilities to use against foes.

Kalos:Light- A Lati's left eye will turn completely white with an X for a pupil. This can be used to heal its own wounds or the wounds of others. It is able to dispel any illusion or mental attack and perceive an opponent's weaknesses regardless of mental defenses to mind reading.

Sinnoh: Gale- A Lati's Right eye will turn completely black with a red vortex symbol for a pupil. This gives them control over winds, able to spawn isolated wind gusts and even tornadoes. This ability also allows them to stop any and all fire attacks by draining the oxygen out of them.

Author's note- Thanks to Storylover Vodhr for permission to use his lati body types in this story and the last one. The herd abilities are my creation however. Leave a review, I always appreciate feedback :)
