Okay, to some of you guys out there this might seem like old news, but I had a bit of a breakthrough in finding the right pokémon to help catch Latias/Latios.

It's actually quite simple: Gardevoir with Mean Look.

From what I hear, Latias/Latios can flee while they are sleeping. Bugger. So what you need is a Pkmn that has M.L. and a reliable status move, and is also not weak against Psychic.

Here's my theory: Get a pkmn with False Swipe, (Zangoose/Sceptile/Ninjask/etc.) and gradually chip the Lati's HP down through a series of battles. (This will probably take several hundred years.) *sarcasm*

Then, when you have fianlly got it down to one HP get this Gardevoir up front:


@ Quick Claw
Mean Look (via breeding with Dusclops)
Hypnosis
Psychic
filler

Pretty obvious, and it's resistant to all the Lati's damaging moves. Infact, it's so obvious that I'm sure other people here have thought of it, but for you who haven't, maybe it'll help.

...But then there's always the Masterball.

(If I have made some mistake here please let me know, because I am planning to use this strategy for catching Latias in Sapphire. Thanks.)
