[SET COMMENTS]

Latias carves itself a niche in the meta with its unique typing and natural immunity to spikes as a solid defensive answer to common threats such as Charizard Y, Ogerpon-W, and Great Tusk. Thunder Wave is vital to its role as it allows Latias to spread paralysis and cripple the aforementioned Charizard Y and Ogerpon-W as well as other offensive threats like Zamazenta, Volcarona, and Choice Scarf Urshifu-R. Ice Beam is Latias's only way of doing meaningful damage to Gliscor and hitting other bulky dragons like Dragonite and Raging Bolt harder. Mystical Fire is used to hit steel types like Gholdengo, Melmetal, and Ferrothorn but Psyshock can be used instead to threaten Clodsire and Toxapex and break Volcarona's substitute.

Latias finds itself on a bulky balance teams that appreciate its ability to check Ogerpon-W and Charizard Y. Bulky Steel-types like Gholdengo and Ferrothorn make great partners since they can switch into Fairy- and Dragon- type attacks and in return Latias can switch into Ground- and Fighting- type attacks. The former also appreciates Latias's ability to spread paralysis and improve its wallbreaking capabilities while the latter can set hazards and abuse the switches that Latias can force by racking up chip damage over time. Other hazard setters like Ting-Lu, Clefable, and Gliscor also benefit Latias. Clefable and Gliscor in particular make great partners because they can absorb status effects for Latias and appreciate having a reliable switch in to powerful Fire- and Water- type attacks while Ting-Lu can also help answer Pokemon that Latias can struggle with, like Gholdengo and Raging Bolt. Fairy- and Fighting- types like Tapu Fini, Clefable, and Zamazenta are also recommended to switch into and pressure Dark-types such as Ting-Lu, Kingambit, and Mega Tyranitar. Strong wallbreakers like Swords Dance Urshifu and the aforementioned Gholdengo also greatly appreciate Latias spreading paralysis as it makes their job much easier and in return make up for Latias's passiveness.

Other hazard setters like Ting-Lu, Clefable, and Gliscor also benefit Latias mention how Ting-Lu answers things like Ghold for Latias since it completely flops into ghold. Clefable and Gliscor in in particular make great partners because they can absorb status effects for Latias and appreciate having a reliable switch in to powerful Fire- and Water- type attacks mentioned them here for clarity and readability. Fairy-types like Tapu Fini and Clefable are also recommended to switch into Dark- and Fighting- type attacks From who?. Strong wallbreakers like Swords Dance Urshifu and the aforementioned Gholdengo also greatly appreciate Latias spreading paralysis as it makes their job much easier and in return make up for Latias's passiveness.
Be sure to mention how the fighting types Urshifu and Zama pressure the Dark types Latias flops into Ting-Lu, Kingambit, Mega ttar.
