Okay, I tried DD Latios lately, talked it over with SDS and other QC members and have come to the conclusion that it's worth an analysis. Base 90 Attack is a bit weak, but it performs quite decently as a late game cleaner after its checks and counters have been weakened. Its biggest attraction is obviously its impressive Speed, which lets it avoid being revenge killed by common revenge killers such as Modest Venusaur in the sun, Adamant Stoutland in the sand, Scarf Terrakion and Scarf Keldeo. It's not a bad lure for Heatran and Jirachi either, both of which you can flatten with Earthquake on the switch when they expect a special set.
The set is:
[SET]
name: Dragon Dance
move 1: Dragon Dance
move 2: Outrage
move 3: Earthquake
move 4: Hidden Power Fire / Thunderbolt
item: Life Orb
nature: Hasty
evs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
- I'd put Draco Meteor and Dragon Claw in AC as well. I've been using Draco Meteor a lot, and it's not a bad move for you to spam a bit in the early game to bluff a special set, as well as kill off more physically defensive Pokemon like Slowbro, and just kill off frailer Pokemon such as Gengar without having to resort to Outrage. Dragon Claw is weak, but it does serve a purpose for when you don't want to get locked into Outrage, I guess.
Edit:
- Other AC: Thunder for rain teams, Roost / Recover for healing

Whatevs sig. QC member for OU and Ubers, VM me for a look at your analysis. Just make sure it's good.
Also, if you want me to rate your team (OU/DW OU/Ubers), give me a VM. If I don't rate it, it's either 1) it's so shit it's too much trouble, 2) I'm busy, or 3) the team is fantastic and I have nothing I can suggest to you. You should be able to recognise which one.
