Once you have picked your color, Latios or Latias will be roaming throughout the Hoenn region in any random patch of grass. -
Get a Pokémon that is level 40 in your team and put it at the front of your party.- Make sure to have a lot Max Repels. This will make it easier to catch Latias/Latios since the only Pokémon you'll encounter while using a Max Repel has to be at a level equal or higher than your first Pokémon.

Go to a location that has a grass and is nearby a door.- Use the Max Repels and run in the grass. After around 20 seconds, run into the door and back out. Keep doing this until you encounter whichever one you chose.
