    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.
