Choice Scarf Latias is an effective form of speed control that sets itself apart from other Pokemon the same role, such as Choice Scarf Galarian Zapdos, with its unique utility options. Draco Meteor serves as its main STAB attack, letting Latias revenge kill most neutral targets such as Meowscarada and opposing Latias. Psyshock is a more spammable STAB move that also lets it clean weakened teams and threaten Fighting-types as well as Iron Moth. Psychic is very similar, trading a chance to OHKO Iron Moth for a 2HKO on Iron Hands and a slightly higher damage output against most neutral targets. Healing Wish is especially helpful to bulky Pokemon that lack reliable recovery such as Iron Hands and Tapu Fini. It can also grant offensive Pokemon like Mega Tyranitar another opportunity to sweep or wallbreak. Trick is Latias's preferred fourth move, allowing it to cripple otherwise unbreakable foes such as Blissey and Chansey. An alternative is Mystical Fire, which lets Latias threaten the Steel-types that resist its STAB combination, like Iron Treads and Excadrill. Its Special Attack-lowering effect makes it especially useful against certain boosting threats such as Autotomize Celesteela. Defog is another alternative, letting Latias clear hazards for its team; however, the fact that Latias loses to most Stealth Rock users such as Mega Tyranitar and Excadrill makes it somewhat unreliable in this role. Thunderbolt targets Celesteela and Skarmory. Latias fits best on bulky offense and balance teams that want a revenge killer and appreciate Latias's utility. Latias struggles the most against special walls like Blissey and Slowking, making physical wallbreakers such as Meowscarada and Galarian Zapdos mandatory partners. Fighting-types such as Buzzwole are useful to threaten Mega Tyranitar, which takes minimal damage from Latias's attacks and can trap it with Pursuit; they can also take out Steel-types like Excadrill and Iron Treads, something especially important if Latias forgoes Mystical Fire. Latias's ability to force in and cripple special walls with Trick makes a good partner for special attackers like Serperior and Clefable.

Psychic Psyshock is a more spammable STAB move that also lets it clean weakened teams and threaten Fighting-types and Iron Moth.

An alternative is Mystical Fire, letting Latias threaten the Steel-types that resist its STAB combination like Iron Treads and Excadrill. Its Special Attack lowering effect makes it especially useful against certain Steel-types such as Autotomotize Celesteela. Healing Wish lets Latias sacrifice itself to fully heal a teammate., allowing players to play more aggressively . This is especially helpful to bulky Pokemon that lack reliable recovery, such as Aegislash, Iron Hands, and Tapu Fini. make a quick mention about Hwish also providing a second chance to sweep / wallbreak for other teammates like gyara or dd mttar Trick is Latias's preferred fourth option, allowing it to cripple otherwise unbreakable foes like Blissey and Assault Vest Galarian Slowking. An alternative is Mystical Fire, letting Latias threaten the Steel-types that resist its STAB combination like Iron Treads and Excadrill.

Defog is another alternative, letting Latias clear hazards for its team, though the fact that it loses to most Stealth Rock users like Mega Tyranitar and Excadrill makes Latias somewhat unreliable in this role. Write about Tbolt here as an emergency button against Gyarados Latias best fits on bulky offense and balance teams that want a revenge killer and appreciate Latias's utility.

Psyshock is a more spammable STAB move that also lets it clean weakened teams and threaten Fighting-types(AC) and as well as Iron Moth. Psychic is very similar, trading a chance to OHKO Iron Moth to instead 2HKO Iron Hands and have slightly higher damage ranges output against most neutral targets. Trick is Latias's preferred fourth option, allowing it to cripple otherwise unbreakable foes like such as Blissey and Assault Vest Galarian Slowking. An alternative is Mystical Fire, letting which lets Latias threaten the Steel-types that resist its STAB combination(AC) like Iron Treads and Excadrill. Its Special Attack lowering effect makes it especially useful against certain Steel-types boosting threats such as Autotomottomize Celesteela. Defog is another alternative, letting Latias clear hazards for its team, though; however, the fact that it loses to most common Stealth Rock users like such as Mega Tyranitar and Excadrill makes Latias somewhat unreliable in this role. Finally, Thunderbolt is an option to OHKO Gyarados, with the added benefit of also targeting and significantly dent Celesteela. Finally, Healing Wish lets Latias sacrifice itself to fully heal a teammate.

Team Options
=============
Latias best fits on bulky offense and balance teams that want a revenge killer and appreciate Latias's utility. Latias struggles the most against special walls like Blissey and Slowking, making physical wallbreakers such as Meowscarada and Swords Dance Aegislash mandatory partners. Fighting-types like such as Buzzwole are useful for taking out removing Mega Tyranitar, which takes minimal damage from Latias's attacks and can trap it with Pursuit. They can also take out Steel-types like Excadrill and Iron Treads, something especially important if Latias forgoes Mystical Fire. Aegislash is another Pokemon that can easily switch in and force out Mega Latias, making checks to it like Iron Treads, Cinderace(RC) and Hydreigon important partners. Latias's ability to force in and cripple Galarian Slowking with Trick makes a good partner for Grass- and Fairy-types like Serperior and Clefable.

Choice Scarf Latias is an effective form of speed control that sets itself apart from others? specify thanks to its unique utility options. Draco Meteor serves as its main STAB attack, letting Latias revenge kill most neutral targets such as Meowscarada and opposing Latias. Psyshock is a more spammable STAB move that also lets it clean weakened teams and threaten Fighting-types, (RC) as well as Iron Moth. Psychic is very similar, trading a chance to OHKO Iron Moth to instead for a 2HKO on Iron Hands and have a slightly higher damage output against most neutral targets. edited sentence structure a little so it reads "trading x for y and z" Trick is Latias's preferred fourth option move dont use option like that, means there are three other options before trick, allowing it to cripple otherwise unbreakable foes such as Blissey and Chansey. An alternative is Mystical Fire, which lets Latias threaten the Steel-types that resist its STAB combination, like Iron Treads and Excadrill. Its Special Attack-(AH)lowering effect makes it especially useful against certain boosting threats such as Autototomize Autotomize autototo Celesteela. Defog is another alternative, letting Latias clear hazards for its team; however, the fact that it Latias subject is still defog loses to most Stealth Rock users such as Mega Tyranitar and Excadrill makes Latias it since i changed the other one, no need to repeat somewhat unreliable in this role. Thunderbolt targets Celesteela and Skarmory. Finally, Healing Wish lets Latias sacrifice itself to fully heal a teammate. This dex info is especially helpful to bulky Pokemon that lack reliable recovery such as Iron Hands and Tapu Fini. It can also grant offensive specify Pokemon like Mega Tyranitar another opportunity to sweep or wallbreak. Latias best fits fits best sounds quite wrong so im calling this an objective change on bulky offense and balance teams that want a revenge killer and appreciate Latias's utility. Latias struggles the most against special walls like Blissey and Slowking, making physical wallbreakers such as Meowscarada and Galarian Zapdos mandatory partners. Fighting-types such as Buzzwole are useful for removing to threaten abit QCish but fightings cant remove mtar because it is NOT staying in Mega Tyranitar, which takes minimal damage from Latias's attacks and can trap it with Pursuit. (RP) ; (AS) connect these two sentences so the "they" doesnt get confusing they can also take out Steel-types like Excadrill and Iron Treads, something especially important if Latias forgoes Mystical Fire. Latias's ability to force in and cripple special walls with Trick makes a good partner for special attackers like Serperior and Clefable.
