AAA Choice Item Latios [Done]

[UT]

[SET]
Wallbreaker (Latios) (M) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Adaptability / Tinted Lens
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock / Luster Purge
- Flip Turn
- Luster Purge / Trick

[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Specs Latios is a fearsome wallbreaker that can force progress in almost every matchup with its combination of powerful STAB attacks, effectively mixed coverage with Psyshock, and ability to finesse poor matchups with Flip Turn and Trick. Adaptability Luster Purge consistently OHKOes common slower offensive Pokemon like Zapdos and Walking Wake without dropping Latios's Special Attack, but Trick can cripple an opposing Chansey or Deoxys-D or disrupt a setup sweeper like Cresselia. Adaptability provides the most overall power to the set, letting it reliably 2HKO common RegenVest pivots like Swampert and Manaphy with Psyshock, while Tinted Lens lets it 2HKO Meloetta and Heatran with Psyshock and have a good chance to OHKO Corviknight and Gholdengo with Draco Meteor. Latios pairs well with fast cleaners like Deoxys-S and Hisuian Electrode, as they can readily take advantage of the opposing RegenVest user being removed from the match. Strong physical wallbreakers like Iron Boulder and the Ogerpon formes appreciate Latios bringing them in safely with Flip Turn and even chunking their checks like Corviknight that may try to eat a predicted Psyshock. Latios invites in powerful Dark-type revenge killers like Roaring Moon and Chien-Pao, making robust checks to these such as Fluffy Corviknight and Regenerator Primarina mandatory. Latios functions best with frequent entry to the field, making entry hazard removers like Corviknight and Great Tusk excellent partners. Slow pivots like Corviknight and Deoxys-D can help get it onto the field safely.

Speed Control (Latios) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Adaptability / Hadron Engine

Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock / Luster Purge
- Flip Turn
- Luster Purge / Thunderbolt / Trick

[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Scarf Latios is a reliable source of speed control and offensive pivot that sets itself apart from Azelf with its powerful Draco Meteor. Psyshock allows Latios to effectively have mixed coverage and 2HKO common RegenVest pivots like Swampert and Manaphy after Spikes, while Luster Purge is notably stronger against common offensive Pokemon like Hisuian Electrode, Cinderace, and Barraskewda and is more spammable than Draco Meteor. Adaptability is more consistent, (comma) as it is always active and does not announce itself, while Hadron Engine can support Electric-types and Surge Surf users, disrupt opposing terrain from the likes of Azelf and Deoxys-S, and let Latios OHKO Corviknight with Thunderbolt. Trick is an option in the last slot to shut down bulky setup sweepers like Cresselia and cripple walls like Deoxys-D. Latios works best with slow pivots like Corviknight and Swampert that can get it onto the field in advantageous positions; similarly, Latios often provides easy entry to slow, wallbreaking teammates like Galarian Zapdos and Ceruledge with Flip Turn. Latios is heavily threatened by Chien-Pao and Roaring Moon, as they discourage it from using its Psychic-type moves and can even threaten it thanks to priority moves and Choice Scarf, respectively. Physically defensive Manaphy and Fluffy Corviknight, respectively, can provide insurance against these threats.

Could also mention that Trick can stop Latios from outspeeding the things it needs to. Latios works best with slow pivots like Corviknight and Swampert that can get it onto the field in adventageous positions, while in turn Latios often provides easy entry to slow, wallbreaking teammates like Galarian Zapdos and Ceruledge with Flip Turn. Latios is heavily threatened by Chien-Pao and Roaring Moon, as they discourage it from using its Psychic-type moves and can even threaten it with priority and Choice Scarf, respectively. Physically defensive Manaphy physdef Manaphy doesnt reliably check either of these, id replace with a different mon and Fluffy Corviknight can provide insurance against these threats.

Choice Specs Latios is a fearsome wallbreaker that utilizes its powerful STAB attacks, effectively mixed coverage with Psyshock, (not sure how immediately clear the meaning is without this) and ability to finese finesse poor matchups with Flip Turn and Trick to force progress in nearly every matchup. (are Flip Turn and Trick separate points or one point? I'd change it to "ability to force progress in nearly every matchup with Flip Turn and Trick." or "ability to finesse poor matchups with Flip Turn and Trick." or "ability to force progress in nearly every matchup, even some poor ones, with Flip Turn and Trick" or "ability to finesse poor matchups with Flip Turn and force progress in nearly every situation with Trick" or whatever you actually mean) Adaptability Luster Purge consistently OHKOes common slower offensive Pokemon like Zapdos and Walking Wake without dropping Latios's Special Attack, but Trick can cripple an opposing Chansey or Deoxys-D or disrupt a setup sweeper like Cresselia. Adaptability provides the most overall power to the set, letting it reliably 2HKO common RegenVest pivots like Swampert and Manaphy with Psyshock, while Tinted Lens 2HKOes lets it 2HKO Meloetta and and Heatran with Psyshock and has have a good chance to OHKO Corviknight and Gholdengo with Draco Meteor.
