What is a good Latios moveset w/o Soul Dew? (For Battle Tower Use)

Latios @ Life Orb
Current Stats:
IVs 14/7/20/14/4/31
EVs 6 HP, 252 SA, 252 Spe

Psychic
Thunderbolt
Ice Beam
Recover

My Latios should technically have Calm Mind and/or Dragon Pulse one way or another. I'm just interested in how I should go about changing things around.
 
Exactly how much does Double Team increase evasion by? Yeah, I know, "one stage", but I mean how much does it change the hit percentage of the opposing Pokemon's moves? Is this different for Minimize? How does Sand Attack work?
 
Hmm...on an Adamant Dragonite, which would be more beneficial: Ice punch from emerald or Dragon Rush from DP? Thomaz has an almost flawless Ice punch one, so I'm relunctant to do that, but if ice punch isn't used very often I could also do Dragon Rush for originality xD

If you plan on battling at all, in the real game or even just on shoddy, then YES. its so freakin helpful, and you'll want to test your teams before breeding them.

Unless one of the guides in C&C is wrong, here is how the Accuracy and Evasion modifiers work:

(multipliers to the move's Accuracy)

--Accuracy Modifiers
-6: 3/9 (0.3333)
-5: 3/8 (0.375)
-4: 3/7 (0.4285)
-3: 3/6 (0.5)
-2: 3/5 (0.6)
-1: 3/4 (0.75)
0: 3/3 (1)
+1: 4/3 (1.3333)
+2: 5/3 (1.6666)
+3: 6/3 (2)
+4: 7/3 (2.3333)
+5: 8/3 (2.6666)
+6: 9/3 (3)

--Evasion Modifiers
-6: 9/3 (3)
-5: 8/3 (2.6666)
-4: 7/3 (2.3333)
-3: 6/3 (2)
-2: 5/3 (1.6666)
-1: 4/3 (1.3333)
0: 3/3 (1)
+1: 3/4 (0.75)
+2: 3/5 (0.6)
+3: 3/6 (0.5)
+4: 3/7 (0.4285)
+5: 3/8 (0.375)
+6: 3/9 (0.3333)
 
So what does ice punch cover that outrage and dragon claw do not, exactly?

Regardless, I'll breed it in emerald then.

Also, As far as I can tell, none of the egg moves seem needed, but am I wrong?
 
Deoxy-E (the one from Emerald, speed version) is OU. The others are Ubers.

This is because the speed isn't that gamebreaking without the other stats to back it up. Try searching the Policy Review Forum for more on this.
 
Well, if you want to use it in Emerald, where it doesn't learn DD, breed it by all means. Unless you want Light Screen on it (it doesn't by TM) which is for Defensive Dragonite mostly.
