HP Fire vs standard Ferrothorn (in rain): 39.77 - 47.15%

Grass Knot is used so that we can avoid getting Pursuit trapped by the Tyranitar that is paired with most Keldeo, CBTar, as after SR we have a solid chance of OHKOing it. Against Scizor Celebi fares better than Latias too, because if Scizor goes for the BP instead of Pusruit against Latias and Celebi here are the damage calcs:
Quote:
BP vs 72 HP Latias: 55.48 - 65.2%
BP vs 140 HP Celebi: 43.08 - 51.06%

As you can see Celebi takes much less from BP, and can tank one water hit from Scarf Keldeo in rain afterwards, unlike Latias. And Celebi fares just fine against Thund-T as long as it avoids switchint into HP Ice. Psychic does 70.56 - 83.61% to Thund-T, 62.5% chance to OHKO after SR, and sure OHKO after SR and 1 LO round. Yeah Latias fares better against Thund-T, but it's not as if Celebi is useless against it, and Thund-T it's not the biggest issue of the team anyway. The only real problem if we go with Celebi is that we won't have something to deal with Venusaur. Btw Latias is not the best solution anyway because +2 Sludge Bomb OHKOes after SR, and Venusaur can set-up against Keldeo, Terrakion locked into CC, Gliscor, and even Bronzong, which means that Latias is not exactly a good solution to Venusaur either.
