I've been using her in about 3 of my teams, every time where I see "hey I'm Kyogre weak", I go to Latias unless she is completely incompatible with my team.

I agree with Shrang here. Although I was really sceptical of Latias lacking Soul Dew in Ubers, my opinion changed when I saw it take a Modest Water Spout from Kyogre like a boss and heal off the damage. Sure, it will be like 10x better when Soul Dew comes out but currently it is quite a viable Pokemon with decent immunities and resistances.
