I built this team after a few attempts of trying to get a team centered around a Stored Power Latias to work. Stored Power Latias is a great sweeper and with the right timing and set up, it can easily sweep your opponents entire team. That said, sometimes I get matched up against teams I have no way of breaking through. Here's my team so far, and I think it has a lot of potential, any advice on how to improve it?
Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Unaware
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Moonblast
- Soft-Boiled
- Wish
- Knock Off
Clef makes for a great switch in to things like Hawlucha and Galaraian-Zapdos and provides Wish support for Latias and Heatran in case they need a safe switch. Unaware helps against Garchomp and Tapu Fini, but Magic Guard may help more against Swampert and hazard-stack teams, so I'm not sure which is the better call.
Landorus-Therian @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 164 Def / 92 Spe
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- U-turn
- Toxic
My main physical wall, Landorus provides rocks and walls Corviknight and opposing Landoruses. He works well with Heatran, so I think he's a good pick for the team.
Heatran @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 136 SpD / 120 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Magma Storm
- Earth Power
- Taunt
- Toxic
Heatran is fantastic for breaking stall teams and checks Scizor, but can't wall specially as much as I'd like and against things like Kyurem, I have to choose between risking Heatran to Earth Power or risking another team member to Ice Beam.
Kartana @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Leaf Blade
- Smart Strike
- Sacred Sword
- Knock Off
Kartana does an extremely important job of providing speed control and checking Dragapult, but having a choice scarf makes it really difficult to break stall with it. I can't get rid of the scarf without leaving my team without speed control, but Kartana gets hard-walled by so many mons with it. I can't seem to find an alternative to it, so I think this may be the best I can do.
Latias (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Def / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Stored Power
- Aura Sphere
- Calm Mind
- Roost
The star of the team, Latias is amazing. She's so much fun to use and can wipe out entire teams by herself. I'm very proud of this set, and the whole team is built around her.
Zapdos @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Static
EVs: 252 HP / 100 Def / 156 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Discharge
- Heat Wave
- Roost
- Defog
Zapdos was kind of slapped on to the team, but I feel it does what it needs to. I needed defog support and something to beat Slowbro and Toxapex, and Zapdos fit the bill. I'm unsure about it's EV spread, but I don't really know how to fix it without leaving it vulnerable.
That's the team. I really like this team and I want to go far with it. How do I take it to the next level?
