Latias, and also seconding Notily's question
Actually I don't believe sound based moves bypass screens. But it can still be good for helping versus Hawlucha.Sparkling Aria is for dealing with mons hiding behind a sub or Aurora Veil (sound moves do bypass screens right?) as well as being a more reliably hitting water STAB, and Psychic can catch Tenta on the switch in.
I dunno, we have max defense Sylveon and two mons that can take advantage of whatever move the ever common scarf Krookodile locks itself into, it could prove annoying but we do have ways to play around it. I do see your point however but other Ground types like the Nido's or Mamo would still steamroll the team even with Hydreigon.I feel like trick, Draco Meteor, Psychic, and HP fire would be great on scarf lati. I agree that it doesn't necessarily need Healing Wish. I'm also on the fence on whether or not Latias should be a cm + recover set/ a z-move set like others have talked about previously. Choice scarf seems nice though since this team is fairly slow so far.
Looking at this team so far, I can tell Krookodile is a problem. So this nomination will go towards taking that on.
Hydreigon @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Dark Pulse
- Fire Blast
- U-turn
Not only is Hydreigon good at taking on Krookodile, it also allows us to use a different set on Latias (like defog or cm). Hydreigon also brings in some nice U-Turn momentum for this team.
On a side note, we could keep Latias scarfed and have Hydreigon be Life Orb or Leftovers with Dragon Pulse, Dark Pulse, Roost, and U-Turn.
