Eon Tourney, the follow-up. Should Lati@s be allowed in OU

This is the follow-up thread to the Eon Tournament which was hosted to determine the viability of Lati@s in the OU metagame

First let me start with some information on both pokemon.

Latias and Latios are both base 600 Dragon/Psychic types which posses the ability Levitate which gives them an immunity to Ground moves, Spikes and Toxic Spikes.
They both also share a similar movepool albeit slight differences, their Base stats are listed as following:

Latias
Hp: 80
Attack: 80
Defense: 90
Special Attack: 110
Special Defense: 130
Speed: 110

Latios
Hp: 80
Attack: 90
Defense: 80
Special Attack: 130
Special Defense: 110
Speed: 110

Unique moves for each are also listed below

Latias: Wish, Mist Ball, Charm
Latios: Dragon Dance, Luster Purge, and Memento

Weaknesses: Bug, Ice, Dragon, Ghost, Dark

Now the main question is, are these pokemon OU material? Well that is what the Eon Tournament was hosted to determine.

Just to give you a brief idea of the tourney rules.

The tournament was comprised of 64 players and the rules allowed the players to use Latias and Latios on their teams if they so wished.

At first glance, we see Latios' amazing stats and movepool and almost immediately think “why are we even considering this pokemon for OU play”, Well this isn’t exactly the case, the Lati’s movepool is good but yet limited in the sense that you know it will almost always be Special based except for the Dragon Dance set which will be discussed a bit later.

Latios has few special sets, which can be used effectively in the OU metagame, they consist of the Calm Minder, the Choice Scarfer and the infamous Choice Specs set.
All of them have their own counters as with any pokemon that can run multiple sets although it is worth mentioning that any special set lacking the weak Hp Fire will have problems with steel types.

I will talk in detail about each of these sets and their effects on the D/P OU metagame.

Calm Mind

Firstly the Calm Mind set

Latios (M) @ Leftovers/Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Timid
- Calm Mind
- Recover
- Ice Beam/Dragon Pulse/Psychic
- Thunderbolt/Grass Knot/Hp Fire/Refresh/Safeguard


This set has a lot of potential to do good damage in OU especially when its threats have been taken out.

Examples of this can be seen in the following logs:

The set is indeed devastating at times but doesn’t differ much from any other recovering Calm Minder aside from the type coverage it has. It still has pretty much the same counters and although it is a fast pokemon maxing at 350 speed it still has to fear the ever-common Choice Scarf user. Latios’ movepool also presents another issue, Calm Mind and Recover are both staple moves for this set which leaves only room for two attacking moves and I’m pretty sure we all know you cant cover every pokemon in 2 moves.

If Latios lacks Grass Knot Tyranitar walks all over it, if it lacks Hp Fire it has problems with steel types and then without Refresh it fears status moves which would pretty much spell the end of it. Face it people Latios cannot have every move at once and it’s pretty clear every set of combinations can be countered.


Choice Specs


Latios (M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Timid/Modest
- Draco Meteor
- Thunderbolt/ Psychic/Dragon Pulse
- Ice Beam/ Shadow Ball
- Grass Knot/Hp Fire

The infamous Choice Specs set, capable of dealing quite a lot of damage to any team and quoted as a better Specs Mence. This is true in some aspects but there is one area where it does fall down in comparison.

It’s lack of a reliable Fire attack means it has problems with steels and in retrospect has even more counters than Specs Mence because of it.
It was also argued that Specs Latios’ damage output is way higher than the OU metagame is capable of handling but this clearly isn’t the case. As we can see it’s not much higher than some of the pokemon that currently reside in OU.

Specs Latios, who will arguably most of the time choose Timid as its nature are hardly out damaging Modest Specs Mence, which is the most common form, and if Latios so chooses to go Modest then its damage output is going to be the same as Modest Heatran or for laughs the much less seen Modest Glaceon who is actually allowed in UU.
Going Modest also has its obvious drawbacks, of not out speeding pokemon that could pose threats to it like the common Gengar and Garchomp.

The following logs show that although Specs Latios would indeed be a major threat if let into OU, however it is definitely not uncounterable and just like any other pokemon has its pros and cons.

Logs of it's use are listed below.

Choice Scarf


Latios (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Modest
- Draco Meteor
- Thunderbolt/ Psychic/Dragon Pulse
- Ice Beam/ Shadow Ball
- Grass Knot/Hp Fire

Same moves as the last set with quite a different purpose. With this set Latias loses the raw power from its Choice Specs set for Revenge killing properties with Choice Scarf.
This set is probably the least of ones worries as it is walled even easier than any of its previously mentioned sets.

Although it makes for a pretty good revenge killer overall it’s still a pretty generic Choice Scarf pokemon. It does have the luxury of out speeding almost everything in the game due to its base 110 speed but I don’t see this set outclassing other common Scarfed Special attackers pokemon like Gengar who although doesn’t hit as hard has moves like Hypnosis and Destiny Bond to make up for it. And Heatran who already out speeds most pokemon, has the same damage output with Overheat, has arguably better resists and Sandstorm immunity.



This pretty much summarizes the Special sets; so I will now go on to mention the Dragon Dance set. Firstly let me start off by saying the set is quite mediocre as Salamence and Dragonite do it way better. The Dragon Dance se does have a few things going for it in comparison to previous sets.
Its surprise factor and the fact that it can seriously damage normal switch-ins to its Special variants is pretty valuable coupled with the fact that it’s one of the few Dragon Dancing Dragons that do not have a 4x weakness to Ice. Don’t let these pros fool you into thinking that this set may be better than the Special variants, but it does have its merits.

The set and some calcs for the set are listed below.


Dragon Dance


Latios (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Claw
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Recover

Adamant, 306 Atk Latios using a Life Orb, Dragon Danced Earthquake on a 342HP/256Def (4EVs/min) Tyranitar: 98-115%
Adamant, 306 Atk Latios using a Life Orb, Dragon Danced Earthquake on a 404HP/256Def (4EVs/min) Tyranitar: 82-98%
Adamant, 306 Atk Latios using a Life Orb, Dragon Danced Dragon Claw on a 282HP/176Def (4EVs/min) Weavile: 103-121%
Adamant, 306 Atk Latios using a Life Orb, Dragon Danced Dragon Claw on a 688HP/130Def (fair/min) Blissey: 57-67%
Adamant, 306 Atk Latios using a Life Orb, Dragon Danced Earthquake on a 364HP/336Def (max/min) Registeel: 70-83%
Adamant, 306 Atk Latios using a Life Orb, Dragon Danced Earthquake on a 364HP/299Def (max/12EVs) CB Metagross: 78-93%
Adamant, 306 Atk Latios using a Life Orb, Dragon Danced Dragon Claw on a 327HP/186Def (fair/min) Scarf cross: 84-99%
Adamant, 306 Atk Latios using a Life Orb, Dragon Danced Dragon Claw on a 357HP/226Def (min/min) Scarf chomp: 127-151%

Yes the damage output is nice against Latios’ usual counters but when the opponent becomes aware of your set then this moveset can be pretty much called dead weight as it is walled and beaten by the usual Garchomp, Salamence and Dragonite counters which everyone is forced to carry due to how common each of the 3 previously mentioned pokemon are.

No logs of the Dragon Dancer’s usage were used as for the few times it was actually used in the tournament it died within 1-2 subsequent turns.


Some people mentioned that Lati@s is probably going to a very overcentralising force in OU but after comparing it to the top 15 pokemon on the Shoddy List there are definitely some problems with that assumption

Here is the list for February and I have mentioned how Lati@s stands up against each of these pokemon.


1: Garchomp

Lati@s is faster but we all know that it can’t switch in and there is always the ever present fear of Garchomp being Scarfed if Lati@s is in first.

2: Gengar

Gengar and Lati@s tie in base speed and a Timid Gengar is capable of dealing 74% minimum to the standard 6 hp 0 Sdef Latios and 53% minimum to a 252 hp 0 Sdef Latias, both capable 2HKOs and this is without any boosting items. Lati@s still then has to worry about moves like Hypnosis and Destiny Bond, which are both capable to taking out Lati@s for possibly the entire game.

3: Blissey


Blissey is pretty much a solid counter to most Lati@s sets and should have no problem crippling the ones it cannot kill directly.

4: Gyarados


Gyarados of course cannot switch into the Lati twins but the Lati twins for the most part cannot switch into a Gyarados fearing a Dragon Danced Ice Fang, which can OHKO, and even if Gyarados doesn’t have Ice Fang then Stone Edge already deals a hefty amount of damage being an easy 2HKO.

5: Tyranitar

Bane of most Latias sets being able to Pursuit or Crunch it into oblivion and taking very little from any move barring Hp Fighting, Grass Knot and Draco Meteor which do not OHKO regardless. Can probably be listed as a pretty safe counter.

6: Lucario


Not one of Lati@s greatest 1 vs. 1 matches due to Lucario’s Steel typing and its ability to do massive damage with Life Orbed Crunch, Extremespeed or a Choice Specs Dark Pulse. Lati@s does get some merit for being able to switch into its Stab attack on the Physical set and any attack besides Dark Pulse or Shadow Ball on the Choice Specs set.

7: Heatran


Heatran makes a decent switch-in to any Latias lacking Surf or Earthquake. It’s Modest Specs Dragon Pulse can OHKO and a Scarfed Dragon Pulse will 2HKO even from Timid barring a fairly defensive spread on the Lati twins, even then they still have to fear Explosion which is a definite OHKO. All is not bad however as they wall any other move on its set and the Calm Mind variants can possibly set up on these same moves that they resist.

8: Bronzong


Bronzong walls the Latis completely and can do massive Damage with Gyro Ball although this can be recovered off due to its low PP. Bronzong still gets Hypnosis and Explosion as ways of dealing with the dragons though.

9: Salamence


Pretty much the same case as with Garchomp, neither can switch into the other without risk.

10: Metagross

Metagross take resists Lati@s’s STABed moves and poses an immediate threat to them with either Meteor Mash or Pursuit. Which can OHKO depending on the Lati@’s EV spreads and with the help of a Choice Band or Life Orb.

11: Infernape

Lati@s walls any set without U-turn, which can hardly be considered common and they are also faster. Pretty good match up for the Eon twins here.

12: Weavile

Capable of OHKOing a switching Latias with STAB CB Pursuit of OHKOing them if they stay in with a STABed CB Ice Punch, it’s also faster than the Lati twins which doesn’t do them any good.

13: Swampert


This is one instance where Lati@s will win the majority of the time as long as Swampert doesn’t carry Ice Punch, which can 2hko. It fears an OHKO from Specs Draco Meteor however, so it’s something that the Lati’s have no trouble dealing with as they resist pretty much every move it has to throw at them.


14: Skarmory

Another match up favoring the Eon twins who can 2HKO with Specs Draco Meteor despite the resistance and OHKO with moves like Thunderbolt. Skarmory’s Brave Bird also 3hkoes them, so not much in favour of the big metal bird.

15: Gliscor


Ice Fang the best move Gliscor can muster against the Lati twins is a mere 3HKO which doesn’t say a lot for it in terms of stopping the Dragons which can easily OHKO it or possibly even set up on it depending on it’s set.

Ok so with all this information pointing towards the unbanning of the Eon twins I really think it's about time we take some stance regarding their tier status and decide if these pokemon will really be allowed into the OU tier.

I agree with the Lati twins being tested in OU. The door was opened with Wobbuffet and Deoxys-E, we can't just suddenly shut it now and not let anything else be tested.

While many people think that Latios and Latias will be to powerful for OU, let's take a look back to a couple of months ago when Deoxys-E and Wobbuffet were first released. There was a "panic" back then to, everyone complained about how Deoxys-E and Wobbuffet will break the metagame. While there are still plenty of people out there that think Deoxys-E and Wobbuffet are to powerful (that's a entirely different discussion though), many people now will say that Deoxys-E and Wobbuffet aren't as gamebreaking as they originally thought. I have a feeling the same will go for Latios and Latias.

Let's take a look at the Calm Mind set for example. Advantages for this set include the fact that both the twins have good SpAtk and SpDef stats, to take advantage of Calm Mind. Recover is also a great move, something that other CMer's wish they had. However, with only 2 attacks, type coverage is going to be tough, especially with no STAB attacks if you decide to go with Thunderbolt and Ice Beam. However, there are disadvantages of these sets as well. First of all, Calm Mind takes longer to set up than Nasty Plot. Even with 1 Calm Mind, Latios isn't going to suddenly OHKO everything in OU. Take a look at Azelf. Azelf has only 10 less SpAtk when running a +speed nature compared to Latios. Azelf has 5 more base speed, Nasty Plot, and room for three attacks instead of just two. Azelf has more potential for a spontaneous sweep compared to Latios, let's face it. Azelf sets up more quickly, is faster, and has better type coverage with three attacks compared to two. And please don't tell me you would run Draco Meteor and Calm Mind, the two are completely counter productive.

One thing I'm surprised about is how you didn't mention Latias's defensive capabiltys Maniac. 130 base SpDef, a decent typing, Levitate, Calm Mind, Recover, Safeguard, Wish, and a plethora of other great attacks Latias can utilize as a bulky pokemon. Latias has better speed and SpAtk compared to Cresselia, not to mention Recover. Latias will perhaps be the best Mixape counter in OU, resisting both STAB attacks, possibly outspeeding, and not taking much from Grass Knot. HP Ice after a Nasty Plot could hurt, but with only a 2x Ice weakness compared to a 4x weakness in the other dragons, Latias will be able to take out Infernape before any more damage is done.

Anyways, I support the testing of Lati@s in OU. I think they will settle into a niche after a while, right alongside Garchomp, Tyranitar, Salamence, Gengar, Lucario, Gyarados, Heatran, and the rest of the top tier OU pokemon.

I take it that Soul Dew was banned for the purposes of the tournament seeing as none of the Lati sets has the item (an item which renders Choice Specs obsolete, btw.)

Lucario isn't the safest switchin one could devise. It might resist Dragon Pulse, but its neutral to Psychic and slower than both Latis.

Latios has few special sets, which can be used effectively in the OU metagame, they consist of the Calm Minder, the Choice Scarfer and the infamous Choice Specs set.
Shouldn't there be an "a" inbetween "has" and "few."

The lack of Fire Blast isn't a huge deal for the Latis. It makes Bronzong, Metagross, and Jirachi royal pains but Skarmory gets taken out by Thunderbolt, and Forry and Steelix aren't that happy to switch into Draco Meteor.

Latis also get Psychic STAB on the Scarf/Specs set. Take that starting Gardevoir and add the ability to actually match Scarfgars speed and you can see the potential.

I also only see a lot of analysis for Latios. Latias has awesome SD, and unlike Uxie it can actually attack worth something. It can do everything Cresselia does, only it can take out Chompy via Ice Beam without breaking a sweat. (of course, unlike Cress it doesn't have OMFG physical defense and its weak to Dragon)

There's also the interesting Psycho Shift. I know its weird, but Psycho Shift + Burn Orb would completely neuter a lot of pokemon, and the Latis happen to be the fastest users. Burn Orb Latis actually LOL at Bronzong since they can Burn it and the worst Bronzong can do at that point is send them to sleep as it gets burned.

Overall I don't see what makes them horribly broken without Soul Dew.
 
One thing I'm surprised about is how you didn't mention Latias's defensive capabiltys Maniac.
I didn't analyze Latias and it's defensive capabilities much as it was only used by a minimal amount of people in the tournament and i'm sure everyone in this forum should be able to roughly estimate what it is capable of defensively with its typing, ability and good special defense stat.

I do however have some logs showing it's use so i've posted them below.

Earthworm: wow how badly are you lagging ._.

You have been disconnected from the server.
 
I've not been following this thorough enough nor do I feel like theorymonizing a lot now but I have issue with these things:

8: Bronzong

Bronzong walls the Latis completely and can do massive Damage with Gyro Ball although this can be recovered off due to its low PP. Bronzong still gets Hypnosis and Explosion as ways of dealing with the dragons though.
So basically, Gyro Ball is of no help as it can be stalled out, so it has to resort to trying to Hypnosis, which not only is 70% accurate but can also only work once. Sleeping Lati@s means not sleeping anything else, and sleeping anything else means not sleeping these. For these reasons, Hypnosis is in my opinion moot when countering.

Which leaves Explosion, which is even worse in these regards because it ends all of Bronzong's uses immediatly, and Lati@s has to stay in that exact turn for it to work.

Lucario's seems rather flawed too, it's not like Lucario is taking a Thunderbolt too lightly either. Gengar gets killed by Draco Meteor/Psychic as well, which you didn't mention.

To expound upon what Mekk just said, I also feel like the tourney analysis reads a little too pro-Eon. From when you sent me your preliminary draft last weekend I've actually been compelled to argue against your editorializing that pretty plainly is trying to explain why Lati@s isn't uber or at least needs further testing.

Maybe that says more about my "devil's advocate" mindset than how clearly this writeup has a pro-Eon bent, I don't know. I do know that you had every right to write it like that, since that was the reason for holding this tournament in the first place. I just think a lot of the sentiment you're trying to convey has valid counterarguments, like how you insist that CM lati@s needs Recover and therefore has only two moves and therefore won't have the coverage it needs. Also the insistence that Specs Latios should always run Timid is something I like immediately question, since there's no way I wouldn't make it Modest since if Specsmence is still a dick with 350 SpA and 299 Speed then Latios stands to be a bigger dick with 394 SpA and 319 Speed.

I'll address the rest of it later maybe, though I also want to underline how hard it is for one tournament to show much of anything conclusive.
 
hmmm reading the logs it seems like the only way people take out of Lati (or at least in the CM logs) is by blowing it up

however pilocus seems to show that a sandstorm'd shuckle is like as close to a '100%' counter in terms of preventing it from sweeping or anything...

however i'm still inconclusive whether or not lati should be allowed...it seems -easy- enough to take down..however the methods to do so seem...not as -common- i suppose...
 

Great Sage

Banned deucer.
The Specs set is probably the easiest to analyze, so I'll start there. I firmly believe that any Choiced Pokemon that is weak to Pursuit is a huge liability in D/P; the fact that you have Draco Meteor, which reduces your Special Attack, makes it even more vulnerable, even though a reduced power Specs Draco Meteor can do 42% to the standard Choice Band Tyranitar. That said, Scarf is easily worked around and Specs can be dealt with. Blissey with Thunder Wave or Toxic counters the Calm Mind set unless it has Refresh, which greatly lowers Lati@s's versatility. I'd imagine offensive teams to have enough firepower to down the Calm Mind set as well.

Before I evaluate the Dragon Dance set, I'd like to note that a mixed approach, with 40 Special Attack EVs taken from Speed, Thunderbolt over Recover, and a Lonely nature seems more effective. While common stuff like Skarmory wall the set you have now, Thunderbolt will often OHKO it. It also stops BulkyGyara from countering you and deals a nice big chunk to Suicune. Grass Knot is also viable option, because it OHKOes the standard Mamoswine after it switched into Stealth Rock, Spikes, basically anything, and does a great deal to Milotic. Suicune is almost a guaranteed 2HKO with Grass Knot, and Gyarados still suffers a 3HKO. Obviously, Swampert is dead; Hippowdon and Donphan are also almost OHKOed. However, it still has no way of dealing with Bronzong, but the more I look at it, the more I consider the mixed Dragon Dance set as a huge threat.

I really don't think that this is really more pro Eon. I think it is simply that they have been uber in the past that people still think they're uber now, especially with its new moves and more usable items.

My current stance on this is: We shouldn't really discuss this at this time, mainly since Garchomp/Wobb/Deoxys is giving everyone headaches. However, since this thread is up I might as well put up m real stance on these two

From the past matches in the Eon tourney, I've not encountered serious problems with either of them. Okay, I may just need to stop saying that. Every Lati@s sets require careful use or they will be punished due to their only decent defense and HP (oh and their weaknesses to Pursuit too). Tyranitar comes into mind, as Lati@s cannot OHKO it and fears Pursuit, Stone Edge and Crunch. While I can simply stay that "you need careful use to use this and it's weak to Pursuit" to Deoxys-A, let's take note that Lati@s do not have the speed or insane power of Deoxys-A.

Let's move into the set analyses

Specs
Great Sage stated this, and I will repeat again, only because I've managed to experience to dangers of choice.
I firmly believe that any Choiced Pokemon that is weak to Pursuit is a huge liability in D/P
That being said, there are pokemon in this metagame that carries Pursuit. Most notable out of the Pursuiters are Tyranitar, Weavile, and Metagross, all being able to easily OHKO Lati@s with moves other than Pursuit (Latias can survive CB Meteor Mash, though). That leaves the twins in a 50/50 road, thus hampering their sweep. Draco Meteor's special attack drop can be hampering and makes it even more of a death bait. While the lati@s posses moves that can take out all of these, it won't be long until they chose a wrong move and get eaten alive. Not only that, Specs Latios is completely walled by Blissey, the most hated and third most overused pokemon in the game.

Skarmory just walls this thing without Thunderbolt, and Bronzong walls this thing unless it has HP Fire, due to resistance to EQ/DClaw, high special defense and defense, and Gyro Ball doing a ridiculous amount of damage thanks to the speed up from DD. Status shuts it down very badly, so Blissey can still come in just to paralyze it, and then switching off into something like Heracross to beat it up. DDLatios can still be taken down by Tyranitar, provided that it has some HP EVs to take a DDed Orbed Earthquake, and the same goes to Metagross. However, Weavile will stay away from this. DDLatios is walled by Hippo if Grass Knot is not present. If it does choose Grass Knot, though, beware of Skarmory. This set is by no means uncounterable and can be handled easier than Garchomp's Swords Dancing set.

Scarf
Same as the Specs, except less power means more danger to Pursuit

CM
Dangerous, very dangerous. However, just because it can CM doesn't mean it's safe from Pursuit. It suffers from less attacks to use and needs Recover so it can set up. Without Refresh, it dies to Blissey. With Refresh, it only has Dragon Pulse. Without Grass Knot or HP Fight, Latios dies to Tyranitar. Without HP Fire, Latios fears Metagross. CM Latios has a huge moveset dilemna, and that's what kills it in the long run

So...
Lati@s seems to have sufficient amount of counters to be considered an OU material. It seems that most of their counters are commonly used too, regardless of the twins' existence, and thus meaning people can use their everyday teams without having to worry too much about being ultimately destroyed by the Lati twins. While they seem very versatile, it should not be too hard stopping them with Tyranitars, Metagrosses and Blisseys running amuk in this metagame. The only things holding them back are their previous tier listing, the current metagame crisis, the definition of an uber and possibly their legendary status

Oh, I also meant to post this earlier: there is an obvious reason why we aren't considering Soul Dew Lati@s, but do any of you think that sets a precedent that isn't in line with how we normally deal with threats to the balance of the competitive metagame? I remember Phuq or Misty stating that it wouldn't be right to ban an item, so I'd like to get your collective take on that.
 
Banning an item feels contradictory to my competitive instincts, but isn't trying to create a metagame with the most options possible our general goal with the tier lists? Jibaku has shown that all of the potential sets are both beatable and counterable, and it's not as though their presence puts other pokemon out of a job either. Personally, I don't see a problem with the banning of the item part, and while I'd be lying if I said I'd extensively tested their ability in OU and could vouch for their balance, the results seem to indicate that at the absolute least further testing should be done.
 
This reminds me of how Marowak is BL on our lists while what really makes him too broken for UU is Thick Club, but let's not get there.

I think everyone can see that allowing Soul Dew on them WOULD make them altogether different and back into the uber league, so I see no need not to ban that. We should indeed test them without their personal items.

If we ban Soul Dew on Lati@s, brightpowder would pretty much also have to be banned. I would say that an evasion boost on top of sand veil on Garchomp is comparable to a SpAtk and SpDef boost for Lati@s, if not better for it. Not to mention, the pretty broken Yache Berry Garchomp set is probably just as decent as a Soul Dew boost.

We have been saying for months now that banning items shouldn't be done. Why start here?

I don't disagree with banning items entirely (for instance, I would support a ban on BrightPowder, Lax Incense, Focus Band, and the like).

Soul Dew essentially makes SpecsDi@s obsolete. Not only do they have the same SA as they would under a Specs set, they aren't absolutely destroyed by prediction, AND they get a boost to their highest defense stat.

Here's what the Base stats look like before EVs after we apply soul Dew:

HP: 80 (301)
Atk: 90/80 (216/196)
Def: 80/90 (196/216)
SA: 204/174 (444/384)
SD: 174/204 (384/444)
Speed: 110 (256)

Total: 738
(lol hi Arceus)

Before we apply a single EV, we're dealing with more offensive power than Rampardos on Latias, and an SD that makes Registeel blush (Latias scares Regice)

Not only that, but every 8 EVs on SA and SD counts for 3 stat points, not two. Lati@s' only cost for this is the inability to use Leftovers or the speed boost from Choice Scarf.

Now granted, you could do the same thing with Tyranitar and claim it has better than 600 stats because of the Sandstorm boost, (it'd go up to 666.5 for the 66.5 boost in its SD Base stat), but TTars boost is conditional on Sandstorm remaining. I forget if Soul Dew can be knocked off, but most of the common Knockoffers can be OHKO'd by one of Lati@s' moves.

That has the same effect as banning it outright except that the rule is more complicated (unless Ditto has it and Transforms into Lati@s and the boost remains).
 
Alakazam could Trick it onto Lati@s but for that it would have to hold the thing and use Trick in a game where they're allowed, which is not going to happen. And then again it's the same if not an even dumber question as the difference between "no HP Legends" or "no HP Grass/Water/Ice on Raikou and Zapdos" in GSC...it won't matter.

I think Soul Dew Lati@s is almost a different set of Pokemon than Soul Dew-less Lati@s, given that the former "has no item and can't use one".

I wouldn't support a ban on Brightpowder and friends though. Sand Veil and Snow Cloak contribute whole lot more of that hax than Brightpowder does.

Heh, Tyranitar's base SDef after the Sandstorm boost is base 159 (Ho-Oh is now angry), if you go with his minimum SDef after sandstorm.

Soul Dew can be Knocked Off, but a Sandstorm Shuckle is the only one that can actually last a hit, being 3HKOed by a souped-up Draco Meteor, and actually live to Knock Off the Soul Dew.

As for banning items, I feel that if banning a certain item allows the pokemon to see more play in general, then it should be banned. For example, banning Soul Dew would allow the Latis to see more play in general because they'd now be in a tier that a majority of the people play. However, banning something like Thick Club on Marowak would make it see much less play in general as it would be relegated to UU, and would not be seen very much there at all, as it's a tier a small minority play and it would be severely outclassed there. Of course these pokemon would be able to use their unique items in the higher tiers (or highest), so Marowak would simply just be used in BL/OU games and not UU, and thus the banning of Thick Club will have made no difference. However, the banning of Soul Dew actually makes a huge difference because people will actually use the Latis in OU without their personal items.

I also have one question for this thread though, how would you guys go about enforcing that people don't just use Soul Dew on the Latis anyway? Would there be a clause such as Extended Game that's created to enforce it?

Tyranitar has 354 SpD min, not 344.

Yes.
 
So far it doesn't seem like if people have a problem with allowing the Latis as much as we have with deciding if it's right to ban items or not.

Personally i think that if banning something's signature item allows it into the tier where it gets a chance to see more play then why not ban the item; its different to saying we're going to ban items like Brightpowder, Focus Band or even Yache Berry which can be used on any pokemon.

Pikachu, Marowak and Clamperl are the only other pokemon with similar signature items and because of those signature items they are in a tier which allows them to see the most play so i'd see no reason to take them under too much consideration.

Overall in regards to the Latis being allowed i agree with Jump in saying that it's relatively hard for one tournament to show a conclusive report but without allowing them on shoddy for a brief time period this is pretty much the only way we can test them (albeit holding multiple tournaments which would take too long anyway). I'd like to see Colin's opinion on allowing them on ladder for possibly a week to about 3 weeks as a more extensive testing period.
 
As far as centralizing goes I also think that if this was unbanned i highly doubt it would overcentralise metagame. Most teams would stay the same.

For example lets say my main team is Gyarados, Tyranitar, Lucario, Garchomp, Blissey, Skarmory. I wouldn't need to over-prepare for Lati s and that by the way is I see all day on shoddy battle.

Gyarados has good defenses and can DD up depending on Lati@s move choices, Tyranitar is one of Lati@s's best counters and can just pursuit it into ko range for your next pokemon. Lucario can be harmed by cm but it resists dragon,ice, and grass , so it can just Sword Dance while Lucario tries to dent it. Garchomp can't switch in, but the Lati@s needs to be careful switching in to it. Blissey is Lati@s number 1 counter so no problems there, and skarmory
can just take out dd lati@s.

If this is tl;dr, basically what I'm saying is most teams wouldn't have to change if the lati twins were unbanned.

If we decide to ban Soul Dew, it would actually follow ingame precedent. In XD's Orre Collosseum, Ubers are not allowed to enter. A Lati@s with Soul Dew is banned explicitly, but Lati@s without Soul Dew is allowed. IIRC, there is a specific ingame message that says that Soul Dew is the reason for the ban. In Emerald Battle Frontier and D/P Battle Tower, ubers are banned and Lati@s is allowed. Soul Dew can be held by any pokemon, but does not provide any boosts whatsoever in the Frontier and Tower.

This lends ingame support to two arguments made in this thread. The first is that Soul Dew is THE defining factor that makes Lati@s uber or not uber. Second, that Soul Dew can be treated special when it comes to banning rules for high-level competitive play.

I know this conversation is not about ingame mechanics, and ingame has no impact on metagame viability. But ingame precedent can help us draw a dividing line in the gray areas being discussed. It could allow us to ban Soul Dew specifically, without opening the door to discussion on Thick Club and other items with no such ingame precedent.

Damn, Doug's point tore that Soul Dew banning argument up quite badly. He has quite a good point. After all, we're trying to emulate the real pokemon game experience as closely as possible, correct? If the game sees them as essentially completely different pokemon when they wear the Soul Dew or not, shouldn't we treat them the same?
