  • A Life Orb Latios is perfect for a late game or early game sweeper.
  • With its very large movepool, there are numerous options to utilize its huge special attack and very good speed.
  • The Life Orb makes up for that lost power when given a Timid Nature and unlike the Specs or Scarf set, Latios can continue attacking with different moves to adjust to the situation at hand.
