Moves
========
With a Colbur Berry, Latias can maximize its defensive utility and more safely take on Tyranitar by being able to escape it or stay in and try to ruin it with paralysis so slower teammates such as Reuniclus can exploit it. Draco Meteor still threatens to 2HKO Pokemon that don't resist it such as Keldeo and Rotom-W. Surf complements Draco Meteor perfectly, allowing Latias to 2HKO Excadrill and Heatran, which could otherwise take on Draco Meteor. Thunder Wave lets Latias spread paralysis on Pokemon that rely on their Speed such as Keldeo, Terrakion, and even Starmie. Thunder Wave can also ruin switch-ins to Latias such as Skarmory, Clefable, and Reuniclus. Roost allows Latias to maximize its longevity and heal off attacks. Hidden Power Fire can be used over Thunder Wave to allow Latias to more easily pressure Steel-types such as Scizor, Ferrothorn, and Skarmory. However, dropping Thunder Wave for it gives up Latias's ability to spread paralysis.

Set Details
========
Colbur Berry allows Latias to live Crunch or Pursuit from Tyranitar once, allowing it to continuously check foes such as Keldeo and Terrakion. Maximum Speed allows Latias to Speed tie Latios as well as outspeed Keldeo and Terrakion.

Team Options
========
Colbur Berry Latias fits incredibly well on sand teams thanks to it being able to combat rain teams and resist Water-type attacks on such teams. Tyranitar is an excellent partner that can set sand and Pursuit trap Pokemon such as Alakazam and Latios, which can prevent Latias from getting revenge killed. Hippowdon can set Stealth Rock and sand and take on boosted threats and phaze them out such as Volcarona and Dragonite. In return, Latias can check Water- and Grass-types such as Keldeo, Rotom-W, and Breloom for both of them. Clefable synergizes well with Latias, since they can spread paralysis to help slower wincons such as Calm Mind Reuniclus, while Latias can also check threats such as Keldeo, Terrakion, and Thundurus-T for Clefable. Reuniclus appreciates Latias's ability to wear down Tyranitar and spread paralysis to make up for its low Speed, helping it sweep more consistently and beat opposing Reuniclus in a Calm Mind war; it is also able to combat Fighting-types such as Terrakion and Breloom with Latias. Swords Dance Excadrill is similar in how it appreciates Latias spreading paralysis so it can outspeed faster Pokemon and overwhelm bulkier Pokemon such as Skarmory. Latias can also check faster Pokemon that are immune to paralysis such as Landorus-T and Garchomp as well as Rotom-W. Skarmory and Ferrothorn can set up entry hazards for Latias, allowing Latias to break through checks such as Tyranitar in the long run, while being able to check Pokemon that Latias can't outspeed such as Choice Scarf Garchomp and Dragon Dance-boosted Dragonite. In return, Latias is able to check powerful threats such as Heatran, Thundurus-T, and Keldeo that could otherwise overwhelm Skarmory and Ferrothorn. Alakazam can revenge kill faster Pokemon for Latias, and both of them can wear down Tyranitar together. Keldeo is a strong offensive teammate that can help check Volcarona and Tyranitar as well as special walls such as Blissey and Clefable for Latias. In return, Latias can spread paralysis on faster Pokemon such as Starmie and Alakazam, allowing Keldeo to take advantage of their lowered Speed. Latias can check Rotom-W for Keldeo as well.

With a Colbur Berry attached, Latias can maximize its defensive utility and more safely take on Tyranitar by being able to more easily escape it or stay in and try to ruin it with Paralysis so slower teammates such as Reuniclus can exploit it. Draco Meteor is still decently strong The stab of choice as it threatens to always 2HKO Pokemon Give examples (Keldeo, Breloom, Rotom?) that don't resist it. Surf compliments Draco Meteor perfectly, allowing Latias to 2HKO Excadrill and Heatran, which could otherwise take on Draco Meteor. Thunder Wave lets Latias spread paralysis on Pokemon that rely on their speed such as Keldeo, Terrakion, and even Starmie. Would also include Clefable, Skarmory and Reuniclus since these are common switch ins as well as Latias being a common switch into Reuniclus to Paralyse (word it better than i did) It also can be helpful for Pokemon that could otherwise take on Latias such as Tyranitar and Skarmory. Roost allows Latias to maximize its longevity and heal off attacks. Hidden Power Fire can be used over Thunder Wave to allow Latias to more easily pressure Steel-types such as Scizor, Ferrothorn, and Skarmory. Similiarly, Roar can also be used over Thunder Wave, allowing Latias to phaze out Tyranitar and Calm Mind Reuniclus and shuffle entry hazards. However, dropping Thunder Wave for either of these 2 moves gives up Latias's ability to spread paralysis.

Set Details
========
Colbur Berry allows Latias to live Crunch or Pursuit from Tyranitar once, allowing it to continuously check foes such as Keldeo and Terrakion. Max Special Attack allows Latias to maximise the power of its stab Draco Meteor. Max Speed is to allow Latias to speed tie Latios as well as outspeed Keldeo and Terrakion.

Team Options
========
Colbur Berry Latias fits incredibly well on sand teams thanks to it being able to combat rain teams and provide a sturdy Water-resist on such teams. Tyranitar and Hippowdon are mandatory partners and both can setup Stealth Rock, Tyranitar can even Pursuit trap Pokemon such as Alakazam as well as Latios, which can prevent Latias from getting revenge killed, while Hippowdon can take on boosted threats such as Volcarona and Dragonite. (Would give a different example here, or just mention it can phase Dragonite out instead of taking it in a 1v1. In return, Latias can check Water- and Grass-types such as Keldeo, Rotom-W, and Breloom for both of them. Clefable synergizes well with Latias, since they can spread Paralysis to help slower wincons such as Calm Mind Reuniclus and Swords Dance Excadrill, while Latias can also check threats such as Keldeo, Terrakion, and Thundurus-T for Clefable. Skarmory can setup entry hazards for Latias, allowing Latias to break through checks such as Tyranitar and Heatran in the long run, while also being able to check Pokemon that Latias can't outspeed such as Choice Scarf Garchomp and boosted Dragon Dance-boosted Dragonite. In return, Latias is able to check powerful threats such as Heatran, Thundurus-T, and Keldeo that could otherwise overwhelm and OHKO Skarmory. Ferrothorn and Bronzong are simliar in how they can setup entry hazards, while also appreciating Latias's ability to check Heatran, Thundurus-T, and Keldeo. Bronzong can also check Pokemon such as Alakazam and Mamoswine for Latias. Reuniclus appreciates Latias' ability to wear down Tyranitar and spread paralysis to make up for its low speed, helping it sweep more consistently And beat opposing Reuniclus in a Calm Mind war while also being able to combat Fighting-types with Latias, such as Terrakion and Breloom. Swords Dance Excadrill is similiar in how it also appreciates Latias spreading paralysis so it can outspeed faster Pokemon as well as overwhelm bulkier Pokemon such as Skarmory, it can also provide Rapid Spin to improve Latias's longevity. Latias is Spike Immune and not affected much by Stealth Rock so would not include Rapid Spin Support. In return, Latias can check faster Pokemon that are immune to paralysis such as Landorus-T and Garchomp as well as being able to check Rotom-W and Fighting-types such as Keldeo and Terrakion. Repetition, mentioned Terrakion and Keldeo too much. Scizor can revenge kill Pokemon such as Mamoswine, Alakazam, and boosted Dragonite with Bullet Punch, in addition to being able to take advantage of Tyranitar for Latias. In return, Latias can help check Pokemon such as Heatran, Keldeo, and Thundurus-T as well as Ground-types like Garchomp and Landorus-T for Scizor. Alakazam is similiar in how it can revenge kill faster Pokemon for Latias and both of them can wear down Tyranitar together as well. Terrakion and Keldeo are strong offensive teammates that can both help check Volcarona and Tyranitar Respectivley as well as special walls such as Blissey and Clefable for Latias. In return, Latias can spread paralysis on faster Pokemon such as Starmie and Alakazam, allowing both Keldeo and Terrakion to take advantage of their lower speed. Latias can also check Rotom-W for Keldeo as well.
