Very recently a post came out from the same hacker who discovered the event legendaries for Pokemon XY confirming the abilities for Mega Latios and Mega Latias as well as type change.
Latios remains a Dragon/Psychic but gets one of the most devastating offensive abilities in the game, Adaptability.
Latias gets a great typing change to Dragon/Fairy, losing both its U-turn and Pursuit weaknesses and turning them into resistances as well as gaining an immunity to Dragon. As if that werent good enough, it gets the amazing defensive ability Multiscale.
But it is also worth noting that both Latis lose Levitate as a result.
So what does this mean for the future metagame (whichever tier they end up in)? Is it worth using over Soul Dew (if we ever get it)? Is Levitate a huge loss?
However, Lets not begin speculating about stats we dont know yet. Both Latis already have great stats and I wish to discuss the implications of their new abilities and typing based only on their effectiveness last gen in consideration of the confirmed changes.
Also feel free to discuss normal Latios and Latias in the Pokebank OU metagame.

Okay okay so it doesnt inspire as much confidence as I hoped, but I mean the images are there.
