[SET COMMENTS]
Thanks to its great Speed tier and ability to boost with Calm Mind, Latios proves to be a threatening sweeper on Psychic teams. Draco Meteor is its strongest move and OHKOes Pokemon such as Thundurus-T and Hydreigon while heavily damaging Slowbro and Zarude -- but be aware that Choice Scarf Zarude forces Latios out. Psyshock is used over Psychic to hit foes such as Swampert, Galarian Slowking, and Blissey harder than Psychic would. Mystical Fire is a great coverage option to dismantle Steel-types, notably OHKOing Ferrothorn and 2HKOing Celesteela after a Calm Mind boost. In tandem with Levitate, Mystical Fire also allows Latios to threaten non-Mold Breaker Excadrill. With Soul Dew, Latios gains the extra power it needs after a boost to 2HKO bulky Pokemon with Psyshock, such as Gastrodon.

Victini helps dismantle threats Latios can't handle, such as Aegislash and Galarian Moltres, while also being able to debilitate Heatran with Trick. It also pivots Latios in against bulky Pokemon such as Slowbro and Toxapex, which Latios breaks through easily. Galarian Slowking can take on Heatran by itself with Earthquake and switch into special attackers such as Choice Specs Kingdra and Tapu Koko. Slowbro can switch into physical attackers Latios is forced out by, such as Choice Scarf Urshifu-R, Barraskewda, and Mamoswine. Jirachi is useful for Psychic, as the chip damage it provides via Stealth Rock can help Latios break through bulky Pokemon more easily; it also switches into Fairy-types that force out Latios such as Tapu Lele and Clefable. If running Choice Scarf, Jirachi can also deal with Choice Scarf Galarian Darmanitan and provide Healing Wish utility. Hatterene helps combat Dark-types such as Rest Galarian Moltres, and it provides Trick Room to help defeat faster Dark-types such as Choice Scarf Zarude and Weavile. Hatterene deters entry hazards thanks to Magic Bounce. Choice Scarf Tapu Lele helps deal with threats like Bisharp, Weavile, and Dragapult, while Choice Specs Tapu Lele can help defeat Tyranitar, which Latios can't break through on its own. Mew can shut down bulkier Pokemon such as Porygon2 and Landorus-T with Will-O-Wisp in tandem with Taunt and Knock Off, which Latios heavily appreciates, while also setting Spikes or Stealth Rock. Indeedee is a niche teammate that provides a Ghost immunity, notably checking Spectrier, while providing Healing Wish utility; however, it is worth nothing that other Ghost-types have coverage for it.

[OTHER OPTIONS]
Psychic
--------
Thunderbolt + Ice Beam, can be used over Mystical Fire and Draco Meteor to help combat Flying- and Water-type Pokemon such as Galarian Moltres, Slowking, and Landorus-T, although this leaves Latios unable to do anything against Ferrothorn and Excadrill, which can be quite troublesome. Aura Sphere can also be used instead of Mystical Fire to hit foes that would normally force Latios out, such as Tyranitar and Heatran. Recover may also be considered over Mystical Fire for longevity. A niche option on Latios is Colbur Berry, which helps defeat Galarian Moltres and Choice Scarf Zarude after a Calm Mind boost.

Thanks to its ability to boost with Calm Mind and great speed tier, Latios proves to be a threatening sweeper on Psychic teams. Draco Meteor is its strongest STAB and allows Latios to OHKO Pokemon such as Thundurus-T and heavily damage Slowbro (add Hydreigon [a big threat to Psychic] and non-Choice Scarf Zarude). Psyshock is used over Psychic in order to damage foes such as Swampert, Galarian Slowking, and Blissey harder than Psychic would. Mystical Fire acts as a great coverage option that allows Latios to dismantle Steel-types, notably OHKOing Ferrothorn and 2HKOing Celesteela after a Calm Mind boost. (its notable that Latios levitates and Ground's Exca isn't Mold Breaker, so having something to hit Exca could be nice to add too)
*Also, if Soul Dew has any notable calcs, it would be nice to put that here too. Else, is it really just for bluffing an item?


Latias assists Latios on Psychic teams as it has access to Healing Wish, which can give Latios a second chance at sweeping if it has already taken a lot of damage.(I dont think double Lati is the way, as 350 speed really isn't too good. For H.Wish mons I'd think Scarf Jirachi would be better, aside from it dealing with Tapu Lel , Hatterene, and Scarf G.Darm, which noms Latioo) Victini helps dismantle threats Latios cant handle such as Aegislash and Galarian Moltres, while also being able to cripple Heatran by tricking its Choice Band on a swap. (it also lures in Physical walls such as Slowbro, Hippo, and Pert too, and has u-turn) Galarian Slowking can also take on Heatran by itself with Earthquake, and switch into Choice Specs Kingdra.[It also wears down Aegis, deals with Fairies too, and can semi-deal with Blacephalon] Slowbro offers a valuable Water-type switch in, namely against Choice Scarf Urshifu-RS and Barraskewda, which Latios is forced out by.(Latioo resists water though. I think this should be physical attackers, and add Mamoswine [hello Ice shard] to the list) Hatterene and Tapu Lele are both useful as they help deal with Dark-type Pokemon such as Mandibuzz and Tyranitar thanks to their Fairy-typing, while Hatterene can also prevent entry hazards being set thanks to its ability Magic Bounce. (I'd rather separate these to 2 points, as though Lele and Hatt are both Psy/Fairy, they play really differently. Add non-Choice Scarf weavile, Bisharp, and Dragon teams in general for [Scarf] Tapu Lele, while Specs Lele and Latioo break down special walls to open up for each other. Hatt could have Galarian Moltres, faster teams and Dark teams in general (Plus Magic Bounce)]Mew can help by crippling bulkier Pokemon such as Porygon2 and Landorus-T with Will-O-Wisp in tandem with Taunt and Knock Off, which Latios heavily appreciates (It also can set entry hazards (spikes)). Indeedee can also be of help by providing a Ghost immunity thanks to its Normal typing. (add that the ghost type in question is quite only possbly spectrier, Blace and Pult have coverage options for him, so its pretty niche like that) Jirachi, which has access to Stealth Rocks, is useful for Psychic as the chip damage it provides via entry hazards can prove useful for Latios to break through bulky Pokemon such as Slowking easier. (move this mon up)

[OTHER OPTIONS]
Psychic
--------
Thunderbolt can be used over Mystical Fire to help combat Flying- and Water-type teams (name targets imo, likely Goltres and Slowking) although this leads Latios unable to do anything against Ferrothorn and Excadrill, which can be quite troublesome.
*thoughts on using Colbur to specifically counter Goltres?
*Also, a CM Recover 2Atks set may also be considered, it gives it some longevity

Choice Scarf Latias assists Latios on Psychic teams as it has access to Healing Wish, which can give Latios a second chance at sweeping if it has already taken a lot of damage. (I sincerely think you dont use both latis in a single team. If you really want to, move this line to after Jirachi, and add that it deals with faster threats such as Scarf Blace, non-Choice Scarf Dragapult too) Victini helps dismantle threats Latios can't handle such as Aegislash and Galarian Moltres, while also being able to cripple Heatran by tricking its Choice Band on a swap. It also pivots in Latios against bulky Pokemon such as Slowbro and Hippowdon which Latios breaks through easily with gains access to U-turn, which can lure in bulky Pokemon such as Slowbro and Hippowdon, which Latios breaks through easily. Galarian Slowking can also take on Heatran by itself with Earthquake, and switch into special attackers such as Choice Specs Kingdra, Choice Scarf Blacephalon, and Tapu Koko. deal with Fairy-type Pokemon such as Tapu Lele and Tapu Koko, while also being able to switch into Choice Scarf Blacephalon. Slowbro can switch into physical attackers Latios is forced out by, such as Choice Scarf Urshifu-RS, Barraskewda, and Mamoswine's Ice Shard. Jirachi, which has access to Stealth Rocks, is useful for Psychic as the chip damage it provides via entry hazards can prove useful for Latios to break through bulky Pokemon such as Slowking (its usually HDB) easier. [More than stealth rocks, being a switch-in to fairy types such as Clefable, Hatt, and Lele, and being able to deal with Lele and Scarf G.Darm on top of H.Wish utility [if scarfed] is what makes Jirachi special) Hatterene helps combat Dark-type Pokemon such as RestTalk Galarian Moltres and provides Trick Room that also helps defeat faster Dark-type Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Zarude and Weavile. Hatterene also provides entry hazard deterrent thanks to its ability Magic Bounce. Choice Scarf Tapu Lele helps deal with Psychic's most prominent threats in Bisharp, Weavile, and Dragapult, (I think the wording here is wrong, maybe threats to Psychic teams rather rather than Psychic's most prominent threats...which kinda means that the following are seen in Psy teams rather than these threatening Psy) while Choice Specs Tapu Lele can help defeat Tyranitar, which Latios can't break through on its own. Mew can help by crippling bulkier Pokemon such as Porygon2 and Landorus-T with Will-O-Wisp in tandem with Taunt and Knock Off, which Latios heavily appreciates, while also setting entry hazards such as Spikes. Indeedee is a niche teammate that provides a Ghost immunity can also be of help by providing a Ghost immunity thanks to its Normal typing, notably checking Spectrier, however other Ghost-type Pokemon have coverage for Normal-types, making Indeedee a niche teammate. [Indeed-F also has healing wish, if you want to take note of it]

Thunderbolt can be used over Mystical Fire to help combat Flying- and Water-type Pokemon such as Galarian Moltres and Slowking, although this leads Latios unable to do anything against Ferrothorn and Excadrill, which can be quite troublesome.

A niche option on Latios can also be found in Colbur Berry, which helps defeat Galarian Moltres and Choice Scarf Zarude after a Calm Mind boost.

It also pivots in Latios against bulky Pokemon such as Slowbro and Toxapex Hippowdon (spdef hippo can cripple u with toxic and slack off + sandstorm damage or just phaze you out and just chip you with sandstorm and eventually rocks or elinating your momentum advantage, pex is usually forced to switch out) which Latios breaks through easily with to U-turn. Galarian Slowking can also take on Heatran by itself with Earthquake, and switch into special attackers such as Choice Specs Kingdra, Choice Scarf Blacephalon, (it 3hkoes you and eventually 2hkos if you are a bit chipped + sball drops and you still dont ohko it so not the best example) and Tapu Koko. Slowbro can switch into physical attackers Latios is forced out by, such as Choice Scarf Urshifu-R, Barraskewda, and Mamoswine. Jirachi, which has access to Stealth Rocks, is useful for Psychic as the chip damage it provides via entry hazards can prove useful for Latios to break through bulky Pokemon easier, it also switches into Fairy-types that force out Latios such as Tapu Lele and Clefable. If Choice Scarfed, Jirachi can also deal with Choice Scarf Galarian Darmanitan and provide Healing Wish utility. Hatterene helps combat Dark-type Pokemon such as RestTalk Galarian Moltres (resto chesto is also quite popular and i don't even think that specificing rest gmolt as all his sets are scary for psychic but i do see the Point as you are faster and dmeteor does a lot of damage) and provides Trick Room that also helps defeat faster Dark-type Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Zarude and Weavile. Hatterene also provides entry hazard deterrent thanks to its ability Magic Bounce. Choice Scarf Tapu Lele helps deal with threats in Bisharp, Weavile, and Dragapult, while Choice Specs Tapu Lele can help defeat Tyranitar, which Latios can't break through on its own.

*Aura Sphere> Mystical fire still hits steel types but can hit dark types and ttar
*Add ice beam to tbolt as cm + boltbeam can destroy Flying with the last being psychic/psyshock or recover
