So imo, Mega Latias has a lot of potential to be an awesome set up sweeper, if its teammates can eliminate the big time threads. This team is 4/6 of memorics team and 5/6 of same typing of pokemon; so it has a strong foundation but with a different strategy mind set.
Threats to Latias and my checks.
- Steel types
- Heatran with flamethrower to get by wide guard Aegislash
- Landorus EQ and Superpower
- Breloom Mach punch and spore
- Fairy types
- Jirachi Iron Head, Follow Me
- Heatran
- Max speed breloom to Spore
- Suicune and Lando for Diance
- Ghost types
- Snarl Suicune
- Spore Breloom
- Dark Types
- Mach Punch Breloom
- Superpower Lando
- Dragon Types
- Follow Me Jirachi
- Icy Wind Jirachi
- U-Turn Lando for Latios/Hydre
Latias can out run max speed base 70s out of tailwind. Under one icy wind it will outrun 110s.
