[SET COMMENTS]
Latios is one of the most powerful special wallbreakers Dragon has, with its strong STAB attacks that are complemented with a good Speed tier, Ground immunity, and vast movepool. Latios's strongest STAB move is its devastating Draco Meteor, destroying dangerous threats like Kyurem and Archaludon. Luster Purge covers bulky Fighting- and Poison-types such as Buzzwole and Toxapex while the high Special Defense drop chance gives Latios the potential to break through special walls that take neutral damage from Psychic-type moves like Gastrodon. Thunderbolt is an option for Water- and Flying-types like Empoleon and Celesteela, which is complemented by Ice Beam for threats like Sinistcha, Landorus, and Gliscor. Aura Sphere is an option on Latios for Steel-types like Heatran and Ferrothorn that otherwise wall it. Trick cripples common switch-ins like Blissey, Alolan Muk, and Galarian Slowking by locking them into one move. Flip Turn can be used to preserve momentum by allowing Latos to switch out of counters such as Tapu Lele. while also preventing it from being Pursuit trapped by Dark-types like Alolan Muk that can switch in on its STAB moves. For teammates, Latios appreciates both Steel-types Archaludon and Hisuian Goodra switching into Bug-, Ice-, and Dragon-type attacks while providing Stealth Rock and Toxic support, respectively. Archaludon checks Weavile and Mimikyu, while Hisuian Goodra covers Tapu Koko, Greninja, and Tapu Fini. Latios in return removes Ground- and Fighting-types like Great Tusk and Keldeo that threaten them. Mega Altaria provides a Dragon immunity and a Dark resistance, dealing with Hydreigon and Mandibuzz. Garchomp removes Steel-types like Heatran and punishes physical attackers like Scizor with Rocky Helmet while providing Stealth Rock and Spikes. Garchomp and Mega Altaria also benefit from Latios defeating physical walls such as Mega Venusaur and Skarmory. Kommo-o benefits from Latios's ability to break through Poison-types while covering Dark- and Steel-types like Mega Tyranitar, Ferrothorn, and Gholdengo for Latios. Roaring Moon is a strong Choice Scarf user, outspeeding and removing threats like Enamorus and Latias. Garchomp, Kommo-o, and Mega Altaria also crucially break through special walls like Blissey and Hisuian Goodra, benefiting Latios further.

Latios is one of the most powerful special wall breakers Dragon has with it's strong STAB complimented with a good Speed tier, Ground immunity and vast movepool. Latios' strongest STAB move is it's devastating Draco Meteor, destroying dangerous threats like Kyurem, Buzzwole, and Archaludon. Luster Purge covers bulky Poison-types and Fighting-types such as Iron Hands, Toxapex and Okidogi (not used anymore) while the high Special Defense drop chance gives Latios the potential to break through neutral special walls like Gastrodon. It's high base power and neutrality into Fairy Types such as Tapu Bulu and Alolan-Ninetales is invaluable coverage for Dragon teams. Thunderbolt is an option for Water and Flying-types like Empoleon and Celesteela which is complimented by Ice Beam for threats like Excadrill (different example) and Enamorus (generally scarfer so diff example). Aura Sphere is an option on Latios for Steel-types like Heatran and Ferrothorn that otherwise wall it. Trick is a strong utility option that cripples common switch ins like Blissey, Alolan-Muk and Slowking-Galar by choice locking them. Flip Turn can be used to preserve momentum by switching out of counters while also preventing Latios from being pursuit trapped. For teammates Latios appreciates both Steel-types Archaludon and Goodra-Hisui switching into Bug and Dragon attacks while providing Stealth Rock and Toxic support respectively. (these teammates also check Ice and Fairy types. Archa checks foes like weavile and mimikyu, and hoodra can check koko and greninja, etc. in return lati can remove ground and fighting types) Mega Altaria provides a Dragon immunity and a Dark resist, dealing with Hydreigon and Mandibuzz. Garchomp punishes physical attackers like Scizor with Rocky Helmet while providing Stealth Rock and Spikes. (Garchomp can also remove steel types like Heatran. both malt and chomp struggle against physical walls like mega venu and skarm which lati beats) Kommo-o benefits from Latios's Poison and Fairy (other than the eg you provided almost every other fairy is either faster than lati or are do not fear its moves. so drop this)Type wallbreaking while covering Steel and Dark types like Mega-Tyranitar and Gholdengo (you can also mention it beats ferrothorn and talk about vacuum wave here ).
* mention garchomp, mega altaria, and kommo-o beat special walls.
* mention scarf latios and roaring moon: latios beats foes like iron valiant and provides hwish support/ can also use trick) while moon can remove scarfer like opposing lati/enam etc.

Aura Sphere is an option on Latios for Steel-types like Heatran and Ferrothorn that otherwise wall it.

Flip Turn can be used to preserve momentum by switching out of counters while also preventing Latios from being pursuit trapped. (Pursuit still triggers regardless on anything switching-out that isn't Baton Pass . I'd remove this and just add an example or two on what it can safely pivot out on with Flip Turn.) For teammates Latios appreciates both Steel-types Archaludon and Goodra-Hisui switching into Bug, Ice and Dragon attacks while providing Stealth Rock and Toxic support respectively. Archaludon checks Weavile and Mimikyu (Add Tapu Bulu here) and Goodra-Hisui covers Tapu koko, Greninja and Enamorus . Latios in return removes Ground and Fighting types that threaten them (Like who?). Mega Altaria provides a Dragon immunity and a Dark resist, dealing with Hydreigon and Mandibuzz and Mega Sableye. Garchomp removes Steel types like Heatran and punishes physical attackers like Scizor with Rocky Helmet while providing Stealth Rock and Spikes. Garchomp and Mega Altaria also benefit from Latios defeating physical walls such as Mega Venusaur and Skarmory. Kommo-o benefits from Latios's Poison-Type wallbreaking while covering Steel and Dark types like Mega-Tyranitar, Ferrothorn and Gholdengo.

Make sure to follow the method I linked above because a lot of changes were missed here.
For the AC/RC comments, they are showing that a comma have been added or removed. All you need to do here is remove the comment. If it's an AC, keep in the comma that has been added
