    Once you have picked your color, Latios or Latias will be roaming throughout the Hoenn region in any random patch of grass.

    Get a Pokémon that is level 40 in your team and put it at the front of your party.
    • Make sure to have a lot Max Repels. This will make it easier to catch Latias/Latios since the only Pokémon you'll encounter while using a Max Repel has to be at a level equal or higher than your first Pokémon.

    Go to a location that has a grass and is nearby a door.
    • Use the Max Repels and run in the grass. After around 20 seconds, run into the door and back out. Keep doing this until you encounter whichever one you chose.

    The only way to do this is by trading. Find a friend who has Latias and is willing to trade it, then you should be okay.

    After running through the grass for a while you can determine if the Latios/Latias is in that location. You would go in then out of a door to reset their Pokédex location.
  • Question
    Is there any way to find Latias without having to run through a cave or grass?

    If you are able to participate in the Eon Ticket event, you can get Latias at Southern Island provided that Latios is a roaming Pokemon. If you didn't, then you can only get Latias without a random encounter by cheating.
