Specs latios typically stays in on garchomp due to its speed tier, giving it a free draco or any other form of massive damage. Scarf garchomp here, would be able to win a 1v1 against a latios that's anything but scarf. One thing to keep in mind though, is that people would be skeptical of a garchomp coming in to revenge kill a Latios, so this garchomp is better to play as a lead Pokémon (This explanation isn't too long because of how simple the lure is, but if it's something complicated, you will probably need more explaining than this).

How To Lure
There are a good bit of centralizing Pokémon in BDSP OU at the moment, and most of them seem to come up quite frequently. This is the project for taking down a variety of prominent meta forces such as Latios, Gliscor and Scizor in unexpected ways. A lure is defined as any Pokémon that manages to draw out (or "lure") and eliminate an opponent's Pokémon which serves as a potential roadblock to the sweeper of your choice. (Concept of Lures). In other words, it's a mon that has an out of the blue set that's main purpose is to beat a threat of your choice.
The Process:
- Every week, one Pokémon will be picked from the BDSP OU VR to be the Pokémon to lure. (Each week will last from Monday to Thursday)
- You would post a Pokémon that you think will be a good lure for the Pokémon chosen. The post must have: A set, a description (how is it a lure?), and calcs if needed. A sprite is advised (sprite example - :ss /victini: with no space in the middle)
- Next is the voting stage. Here you will vote for the lure you think is best against the chosen Pokémon. This stage will last from Friday to Sunday.
- After the winner is decided, both the winner lure and threat will be archived.
- Only viable Pokémon must be submitted. You can see the list of viable Pokémon from the BDSP OU VR.
- Lures may be reserved, but there is a (new!) 24 hour time limit on how long you can reserve the Pokémon. After 24 hours, the reservation will be removed.
- You may pick the same Pokémon as someone else, but it has to be a different set.
