Version-Exclusive Pokémon
The normal, obtainable Pokémon are version-exclusive, meaning they can only be found in one of the two main games, either Pokémon SoulSilver or Pokémon HeartGold.

How to Get Latias in SoulSilver?
Unfortunately, Latias is not directly available in Pokémon SoulSilver. According to the official Pokémon documentation, Latias is only available in Pokémon HeartGold. However, there is a way to obtain Latias in SoulSilver by using a trick.
Trick to Obtain Latias in SoulSilver
To get Latias in SoulSilver, you need to follow these steps:
- Obtain a Pokémon with the same species and gender as the one you want to catch. This is because Pokémon are species-specific and will only hatch into the same species they were bred with.
- Breed the two Pokémon in the Pokémon Day Care center.
- Keep breeding them until you get a baby Pokémon with the desired gender.
- This baby Pokémon will have a 10% chance of having Latias as an egg.
