Here is a complete breakdown of all Latios' abilities in Pokemon UNITE

Latios Basics - Ability: Levitate

When Latios uses a move, its movement speed increases for a short time. Similarly, when Latias is nearby, Latios’s movement speed increases. When Latias is on the same team as Latios, Latios can fly to Latias.
Levitate can only be used when Latios is not in combat and goes on cooldown after it’s triggered.

Latios Basics - Basic Attack

Latios’s basic attack deals damage to opposing Pokemon.

Lv. 1 & 3 Moves - Confusion

Latios releases a weak telekinetic force in the designated direction, dealing damage and applying a slowing effect to the opposing Pokemon it hits.

Lv. 1 & 3 Moves - Swift

Latios shoots star-shaped rays across a large area in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon it hits.

Lv. 5 Moves - Dragon Pulse

After Latios learns Dragon Pulse, it gains Eon power whenever it defeats wild Pokemon. Latios dashes in the designated direction, and its next basic attack becomes a boosted attack. If Latios hits a Pokemon from the opposing team with a boosted basic attack, Latios gains Eon power. This boosted attack also releases telekinetic projectiles, which deal damage. The more Eon power Latios has accumulated, the more projectiles are released and the more damage they deal.
- If Dragon Pulse is upgraded, the telekinetic projectiles deal additional damage to opposing Pokemon equal to a set percentage of their max HP.

Lv. 5 Moves - Draco Meteor

After Latios learns Draco Meteor, it gains Eon power whenever it defeats wild Pokemon. Latios summons down comets onto the designated area, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon they hit. If Draco Meteor hits Pokemon on the opposing team, Latios gains Eon power. The more Eon power Latios has accumulated, the more comets are summoned and the more damage they deal.
If Draco Meteor is upgraded, additional damage is dealt based on the percentage of HP the opposing Pokemon has lost.

Lv. 7 Moves - Luster Purge

Latios lets loose a ball of light. After a set amount of time passes, or if Luster Purge is used again, the ball’s light releases all at once, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon it hits and marking them. Latios and any Latias on the user’s team deal increased damage to marked opposing Pokemon.
If Luster Purge is upgraded, the duration that opposing Pokemon remain marked increases.

Lv. 7 Moves - Telekinesis

Latios unleashes psychic power in the designated direction, dealing damage and applying a slowing effect to opposing Pokémon it hits. If Latios hits an opposing Pokemon with Telekinesis, Telekinesis can be used again to unleash psychic power at a designated opposing Pokemon.
If the second Pokemon hit by Telekinesis is different from the first, the two Pokemon are pulled toward each other and are left unable to act if they collide. If the second Pokemon hit by Telekinesis is the same as the first, it is left unable to act.
If Telekinesis is upgraded, the slowing effect applied by this move is strengthened.
