Latias cements itself on Psychic teams over Latios thanks to its Healing Wish support, which fits great into a Choice Scarf set, allowing it to also revenge kill foes such as Regieleki, Dragapult, and fast Choice Scarf users such as Buzzwole and Blacephalon. Draco Meteor is Latias's strongest attack, nailing foes such as Thundurus-T, non-Choice Scarf Dragapult, and Hydreigon. Psychic is Latias's second attack of choice, as it 2HKOes Tapu Koko and Toxapex. Psyshock can also be used over Psychic to pick off Volcarona after Quiver Dance and Nihilego. Defog removes entry hazards for its teammates such as Victini and Galarian Slowking, which eases pressure on them. Healing Wish in tandem with Choice Scarf allows Latias to fully heal a teammate such as Hatterene without fear of being outpaced.

Victini helps Latias by beating Steel-types that Latias can't beat, such as Ferrothorn, Excadrill, and Aegislash, and appreciates Latias's Healing Wish. Hatterene can help defeat Dark-type Pokemon such as Zarude and Galarian Moltres thanks to its Fairy typing, Calm Mind, and Trick Room, while Latias can use Healing Wish to let it set up again if need be. Choice Scarf Tapu Lele is also a Fairy-type, and it revenge kills Pokemon such as non-Choice Scarf Weavile and Zarude for Psychic teams, alongside setting Psychic Terrain to help defeat Bisharp. Choice Specs Tapu Lele can also work alongside Latias to help defeat Pokemon such as Slowking and Landorus-T. Slowbro switches into Excadrill and Cinderace, alongside taking on Dragapult or Weavile if it's holding Kasib Berry or Colbur Berry, respectively. Galarian Slowking helps by switching into special attackers that can threaten Latias, such as Kingdra and opposing Tapu Lele. Jirachi provides an entry hazard for Psychic in Stealth Rock, can help combat Ice-types that threaten Psychic teams such as SubRoost Kyurem, and can take Dragon-type attacks such as Kingdra's Draco Meteor. While not directly supporting Latias, Mew provides strong general utility for Psychic teams by debilitating foes with Knock Off and Will-O-Wisp, which helps its teammates break through teams more easily. Indeedee can also be a niche teammate to help switch into Ghost-type moves, notably from Spectrier and Blacephalon.

[OTHER OPTIONS]
Psychic
--------
Mystical Fire can be used over Defog to help Latias defeat foes such as Ferrothorn, Tapu Bulu, and Scizor; however, its Defog support is more desirable. Trick can be used to hinder bulkier Pokemon that easily switch into Latias such as Celesteela and Slowking. A non-Choice Scarf set with Calm Mind and Stored Power can be used to help combat Electric-type teams more effectively.

Latias cements itself on Psychic teams over Latios thanks to its ability to provide Healing Wish support. (Its better to state that its for speed control anyway, as more offensive psy teams see CM Latio as an option too. Latias is more of a better role compressing scarfer than latio) Draco Meteor is Latias' strongest STAB, allowing it to hit foes such as Thundurus-T and Slowbro,(a bit awkward example) damaging them heavily. (add that this lets Latia deal with non scarf pult and Hydrei and finish off Scarf Zarude too, which kinda are scary for Psy teams. However, this leaves lati prone to being setup food, esp in dark as DM'ing Scarf Zarude/Hydrei leads to goltres getting free turns) Psychic is Latias' second attacking move of choice as it can defeat Pokemon that Draco Meteor cannot, such as 2HKOing Tapu Koko and Toxapex. (add psyshock line, its mainly for revenging volcarona) Defog and Healing Wish in tandem with Choice Scarf allows Latias to remove entry hazards or heal up a teammate without the fear of being outpaced, easing up pressure for its teammates. (would be nice to state which team mate/matchups you'd probably use hwish on, like for example Steel [where Latias isnt doing much])
*another thing that I'd like to add is that latias has the niche of not automatically dying to regieleki. Though it shouldn't switch-in, Lati could be preserve to 1v1 Eleki later

*I'd like to point out that Latias' stick was never in dealing damage. it honestly sucks in that department (bar from clicking DM) The focus of DM and Psychic(psyshock) is to pick off/revenge kill more than blowing in holes in the opposing team


Victini helps Latias by beating Steel-types that Latias can't beat, such as Ferrothorn, Excadrill, and Aegislash, while also luring in other Pokemon that Latias can defeat and pivoting on them with U-turn, such as Toxapex and Slowbro. (Idt you ever beat slowbro, and pivoting on pex is awkward since they can just go slowking/drapion/glowking. Maybe just saying its a HWish recipient and likes Latias ability to deal with Chompers would be enough?) Hatterene can help defeat Dark-type Pokemon such as Zarude and Galarian Moltres thanks to its Fairy-typing and ability to setup with Calm Mind and Trick Room, while Latias can Healing Wish it back to full health and allow it to setup again if need be. Choice Scarf Tapu Lele also provides the same Fairy-type support, while also providing speed control, letting it defeat Pokemon such as non-Choice Scarf Weavile and Zarude for Psychic teams. Galarian Slowking helps by switching into special attackers that can threaten Latias, such as Choice Scarf Blacephalon (outsped by and killed by Latias when rocks are up, not a good example), Kingdra, and opposing Tapu Lele. Choice Scarf Jirachi can help combat Ice-types that threaten Psychic teams such as SubRoost Kyurem and Choice Scarf Galarian Darmanitan. (Its not good to use 2 Choice Scarf users, the Jirach I'd use here is spdef, Lati surely kills G.Darm if rocks are up) While not in direct support of Latias, Mew can provide strong utility for Psychic teams in general by being able to cripple opponents with Knock Off and Wil-O-Wisp, which helps the rest of Psychic break through teams easier. Indeedee can also be a niche teammate to help switch into Ghost-type moves from notably Spectrier and Blacephalon.
*Slowbro, it deals with Pult Mimi and Weav with the correct berry, deals with Cinderace, and gives you an alternative switch-in to Excadrill too

[OTHER OPTIONS]
Psychic
--------
Mystical Fire can be used over Defog to help Latias defeat Ferrothorn and Tapu Bulu, however the support that Latias provides in Defog is more desirable.(I think Mystfire goes over the psychic move btw, it hits Scizor and Celes too, albeit its a bit weak for a move)
*Trick as a support move to cripple walls/switch-ins like Glowking/Corv seems cool, if only you have a place to slot this move in, that is
*non Choice Scarf sets with CM/Agility/Stored Power/Recover may be used to cheese stuff, particularly electric
*an antilead latias with Mystfire/Ice Beam/Defog/DM(?) exists, but its awkward to use since it doesnt really hit that hard.

Draco Meteor is Latias' strongest STAB, allowing it to hit foes such as Thundurus-T, non-Choice Scarf Dragapult, and Hydreigon damaging them heavily or killing them entirely. Psychic is Latias' second attacking move of choice as it can defeat Pokemon that Draco Meteor cannot, such as 2HKOes ing Tapu Koko and Toxapex. Psyshock can also be used over Psychic to pick off help defeat Volcarona after using Quiver Dance (and also deal with Nihilego, in case you dont have a Glowking). Defog and Healing Wish in tandem with Choice Scarf allows Latias to remove entry hazards or heal up a teammate such as Victini or Hatterene without the fear of being outpaced, easing up pressure for its teammates. (separate this to two sentences if possible)

Victini helps Latias by beating Steel-types that Latias can't beat, such as Ferrothorn, Excadrill, and Aegislash, and appreciates Latias' ability to heal it with Healing Wish. Hatterene can help defeat Dark-type Pokemon such as Zarude and Galarian Moltres thanks to its Fairy-typing and ability to setup with Calm Mind and Trick Room, while Latias can Healing Wish it back to full health and allow it to setup again if need be. Choice Scarf Tapu Lele also provides the same Fairy-type support, while also providing speed control, letting it defeat Pokemon such as non-Choice Scarf Weavile and Zarude for Psychic teams. (Psy terrain also means lele can deal with Bishie and sometimes Cinderace [albeit, a guessing game] too. Also Specs Tapu Lele deserves a mention, since this Latias is scarfed) Galarian Slowking helps by switching into special attackers that can threaten Latias, such as Kingdra, and opposing Tapu Lele. Jirachi can help combat Ice-types that threaten Psychic teams such as SubRoost Kyurem. (its also a special wall that can take dragon moves too, and has SR) While not in direct support of Latias, Mew can provide strong utility for Psychic teams in general by being able to cripple opponents with Knock Off and Wil-O-Wisp, which helps the rest of Psychic break through teams easier. Slowbro can help switches into Excadrill and Cinderace, while being able to combat Dragapult and Weavile if it's holding Kasib or Colbur berry respectively. (move this up to before Galarian slowking) Indeedee can also be a niche teammate to help switch into Ghost-type moves from notably Spectrier and Blacephalon.

1/3
 
Couldn't find anything to add or fix, I would just replace this:
fast Choice Scarf users such as Zarude and Blacephalon.
I don't love Zarude as an example as Draco Meteor does like 50-60 so i would prefer Buzzwole instead.


QC:2/3 great job!
