Latias is one of the most threatening wallbreakers in UU thanks to its amazing coverage and ability to switch into and threaten common foes like Keldeo and Rotom-H. Its great Speed tier also gives it even more opportunities to fire off attacks against the likes of Terrakion, Kommo-o, and Victini. Psyshock is chosen over Psychic to do more damage to Chansey, and Mystical Fire allows Latias to fry Steel-types like Scizor and do good damage to Jirachi and Celesteela. The longevity provided by Roost makes Latias an extremely effective special sponge on offensive teams. Latias struggles to break past extremely bulky Pokemon like Chansey and Celesteela and can only dent them on the switch, so support from Pokemon like Zeraora and Terrakion is very appreciated. Zeraora is also a good offensive check to Latias; partners like Tangrowth and Amoonguss that can handle it are appreciated. These Pokemon can also check Azumarill and Primarina, two Pokemon that Latias often struggles with due to its inability to OHKO them.
