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.
