Strategy Overview

Dragon

Latias is an excellent revenge killer for Dragon teams thanks to its great Speed stat, good Special Attack, and Psychic typing allowing it to take care of Fighting- and Poison-types like Terrakion, Nihilego, and Galarian Weezing. Latias is a great Choice Scarf user that can revenge kill Pokemon like Dragonite after a Dragon Dance without Multiscale intact, 2HKO threats like Tapu Koko, and threaten fast Choice Scarf users like Terrakion, Nihilego, and Buzzwole. Latias also has utility options like Healing Wish and Defog, which let it fulfill a more supportive role. Levitate lets it serve as a Ground immunity and prevents it from being worn down by entry hazards. However, Latias faces competition with Latios as a revenge killer, as it has a better Special Attack and the ability to OHKO Choice Scarf Heracross and Terrakion without prior chip damage.
