[SET COMMENTS]
Latios leverages a good Speed tier, sky-high Special Attack, and Calm Mind to be one of the tier's most dangerous wallbreakers and sweepers. Psyshock greatly threatens common RegenVest users such as Swampert, Manaphy, and Meloetta. Recover provides additional longevity, allowing Latios to switch in against foes such as Heatran and Pecharunt and threaten to wallbreak multiple times in a single game. Calm Mind allows Latios to set up against passive foes such as Corviknight and Skarmory. Soul Dew notably makes Adaptability Draco Meteor a guaranteed 2HKO on Corviknight after a Calm Mind, but Leftovers is an option to give Latios more longevity. Adaptability is the preferred ability for consistent high damage, allowing Latios to reliably 2HKO Blissey and RegenVest Swampert with Psyshock, while Tinted Lens is an option to threaten an OHKO on Corviknight and Gholdengo with Draco Meteor after a Calm Mind and 2HKO Heatran and Hisuian Goodra with Psyshock after a boost. Latios works fantastically with other powerful special attackers such as Iron Moth, Zapdos, and Azelf, as they all appreciate RegenVest users and Blissey being weakened. Latios also appreciates slow, physically bulky pivots such as Corviknight, Mandibuzz, and physically defensive Manaphy, who which can both pivot it in safely and effectively check the offensive Dark-types that threaten Latios such as Roaring Moon, Meowscarada, and Chien-Pao. Latios also appreciates the aforementioned Corviknight and Mandibuzz, along with Great Tusk, for their consistent entry hazard removal, allowing it to enter the field and frequently threaten the foe.
