[SET COMMENTS]

Mega Latias is incredibly hard to knock out thanks to its good defensive typing, which lets it check multiple threatening Pokemon, notably Rillaboom, Mega Charizard Y, and Urshifu-R, access to Levitate, and amazing base stats; notably, it packs a stellar Speed stat for a defensive Pokemon, outspeeding common threats such as Kartana, Mega Medicham, and Tapu Lele. These traits allow it to find multiple opportunities to set up Calm Mind throughout a match. This, in tandem with its diverse movepool, makes it a fantastic sweeper on bulky teams. Psyshock is the preferred Psychic-type move, as it's able to hit Chansey and Blissey and also allows Mega Latias to beat opposing Calm Mind users such as Clefable, Tapu Fini, and Reuniclus by hitting their unboosted Defense stat. It's nicely complemented by Aura Sphere, which hits Steel- and Dark-types that resist Psyshock, like Heatran, Weavile, and Mega Tyranitar. Mystical Fire can also be used, as it hits Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn harder, as well as giving it a way to hit Mega Sableye. However, with enough boosts, Latias can break through the former two, and without Aura Sphere, Pokemon like Mega Tyranitar, Heatran, and Hydreigon are able to freely come in on Latias and beat it.

Mega Latias fits incredibly well on balance teams, where its defensive qualities can be supported by other Pokemon, like Toxapex, Ferrothorn, and Corviknight, to create incredibly tough defensive cores. They also help check Pokemon that threaten Latias, like Ash-Greninja, Weavile, and Mega Garchomp. Offensive teammates such as Weavile, Swords Dance Gliscor, and Calm Mind Clefable are also useful for pressuring Pokemon that check Latias, like Reuniclus, Heatran, Toxapex, and Weavile. Dark-types such as Mega Tyranitar, Weavile, and Ash-Greninja can pivot into Mega Latias and threaten it with their STAB attacks. As such pairing it up with Pokemon that resist Dark like Buzzwole, Clefable, and Tapu Fini is greatly appreciated. Mega Latias is also incredibly prone to being chipped down long term, either by status from foes like Toxapex, Blissey, and Heatran, or by Stealth Rock. As such, teammates that can help mitigate these weaknesses are incredibly useful. Status absorbers such as Chansey, Clefable, and Gliscor are incredibly potent teammate for Latias; the former two are also able to provide Latias with cleric support, which can relieve it of any status conditions. Defog support from teammates like Corviknight, Tapu Fini, and Gliscor is also incredibly valuable for removing Stealth Rock, which bothers Latias.

evs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

The near-perfect coverage of Ice Beam and Thunder makes it incredibly hard to switch into Mega Latias, especially once it is boosted. It also gives it better defensive utility, as it checks foes like Gliscor, Landorus-T, Manaphy, and Rockium-Z Garchomp. Thanks to its defensive profile, it can be run alongside offensive Pokemon like Weavile, Greninja, or Kartana. Thunder is preferred over Thunderbolt, as despite its inaccuracy, its increased chance to paralyze lets Latias potentially beat Pokemon like Clefable, Reuniclus, and Toxapex. However, it's unfortunately very weak against neutral foes when unboosted, which causes it to require more support in terms of entry hazards and status effects. Due to the lack of Psyshock, it struggles against opposing Calm Mind users.

Due to Latias's lack of immediate power, entry hazard support from teammates like Clefable, Heatran, Ferrothorn, and Skarmory can help it wear down checks like Heatran, Gastrodon, and Mega Tyranitar. Other bulky sweepers such as Calm Mind Clefable, Bulk Up Corviknight, and Swords Dance Gliscor appreciate Latias's ability to spread paralysis with Thunder to defensive Pokemon such as Toxapex, Heatran, and Ferrothorn, allowing these teammates to find more setup opportunities to devastate opposing teams. Teammates like Toxapex, Gliscor, and Clefable appreciate Latias's ability to check Manaphy and offensive Ground-types like Gliscor, Landorus-T, and Garchomp, making them stellar teammates.

[SET COMMENTS]
Stored Power Mega Latias trades immediate power and defensive utility for the potential to become a devastating Calm Mind sweeper, capable of breaking through every non-Dark-type Pokemon in the tier. This set forgoes a secondary coverage move in favor of utility moves that help Latias with some of its biggest issues and can even allow it to use status-reliant checks like Gastrodon, Heatran, and Ferrothorn as setup fodder. Substitute lets it dodge status conditions; however, it has to play more carefully around them, as it cannot directly switch into them. It also comes with the added benefit of allowing Latias to dodge critical hits and pesky secondary effects from foes like Greninja, Kyurem, and Tapu Lele while also allowing it to escape from Weavile and Tyranitar's Pursuit. Refresh allows Latias to shrug off status conditions from foes like Toxapex, Clefable, Heatran, and Landorus-T. This lets it stay healthy and not force it to Roost as much, making it more efficient at sweeping; it also makes it easier to set up on the aforementioned foes, as Latias doesn't have to worry about getting crippled by status. Reflect Type can be used to copy the type from foes like Heatran, Toxapex, and Ferrothorn, allowing it to ignore their status moves and resist their and other foes', like Mega Mawile, Ash-Greninja, and Hydreigon, attacks.

Because Mega Latias needs time to set up in order to be threatening, and it is practically useless until it sets up, pairing it with other setup sweepers like Swords Dance Gliscor or Calm Mind Reuniclus help should Mega Latias fail to find a setup opportunity. Teammates such as Choice Band Weavile and Heatran that present an immediate offensive presence complement Latias nicely. Due to this set's complete inability to hurt Dark-types like Weavile, Mega Tyranitar, Hydreigon, and Ash-Greninja, pairing it with status spreaders like Heatran, Gliscor, and Toxic Spikes from Toxapex is near mandatory; furthermore, teammates that can deal with these Dark-types, like Tapu Fini, Buzzwole, and Clefable, make for stellar teammates. Since it needs to boost to function properly, Latias is completely walled by Haze Toxapex, and as such, teammates that can take advantage of it like Tapu Lele, Gliscor, and Whirlpool Tapu Fini make for good teammates.


[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Mega Latias doesn't have to run Calm Mind; sets utilizing two coverage moves alongside a status move for a more utility-based approach also work. Defog can be run, as Latias threatens common entry hazard setters like Landorus-T, Heatran, and Ferrothorn if it carries the right coverage. Thunder Wave can also be run to support its offensive teammates, like Tapu Lele, Garchomp, and Magnezone. Wish lets it heal up teammates like Heatran, Landorus-T, and Tapu Fini. However, all these options are incredibly passive and dropping coverage hurts Latias's matchup against rain teams if it loses Thunder and Heatran if it loses Aura Sphere.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Chansey and Blissey**: Mega Latias is almost entirely unable to beat Chansey and Blissey due to their insanely high special bulk and tendency to run status moves that cripple Latias. However, if Latias manages to get enough Calm Mind boosts, it can beat them with either Psyshock or Stored Power, if it has them. Stored Power variants with Refresh can beat these Pokemon 1v1.

**Status**: Getting statused cripples Latias immensely, as poison makes it unable to stay in on the field for long amount of times and set up Calm Mind, burn makes it have to Roost more often, and paralysis hinders its good speed stat, leaving it outsped by Pokemon such as Bisharp, Mega Mawile, and Heatran. Stored Power variants can avoid these status conditions through multiple means, though.

**Dark-types**: Dark-types such as Weavile, Mega Tyranitar, Ash-Greninja, and Hydreigon counter the Stored Power set and can threaten Latias out with their powerful STAB attacks. Latias must also be wary of Pursuit from Weavile and Mega Tyranitar, as it threatens to KO it even if it tries to switch out, however they cannot switch into Aura Sphere.

**Steel-types**: Steel-types such as Heatran, Ferrothorn, and Mega Mawile live any unboosted it from Latias and threaten it out with either status or the threat of an OHKO. However, (add comma) they all struggle switching into repeated Aura Spheres.

Mega Latias is incredibly hard to knock out, thanks to its good defensive typing, which lets it check a plethora of threatening Pokemon, notably Rillaboom, Mega Charizard Y, and Urshifu-RS, its good ability, and amazing base stats; notably it packs a stellar Speed stat for a defensive Pokemon, outspeeding common threats such as Garchomp, Kartana, Mega Medicham, and Tapu Lele. These traits in tandem with its access to Calm Mind and its amazing movepool make it into a fantastic bulky sweeper you should how all of its traits combine to give it multiple setup opportunities, because right now this sentence doesn't tell me why its a great bulky sweeper . Psyshock is the preferred Psychic-type move, as it's able to hit Chansey, Blissey, and opposing Calm Mind users such as Clefable, Tapu Fini, and Reuniclus harder psyshock doesn't just hit other cm users harder but can just straight up beat them outright by ignoring their boosts, you should emphasize that here. . Its nicely complemented by Aura Sphere, which hits the Steel- and Dark-types that resist Psyshock, such as Heatran, Weavile, and Mega Tyranitar. Mystical Fire can also be used, to break through Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn with less boosts, as well as giving it a way to hit Mega Sableye. However, with enough boosts Latias can break through these, and Mystical Fire makes it severely harder to break through Mega Tyranitar, Heatran, and Hydreigon. i feel this is less about latias being able to break through them but moreso them being able to beat latias, because w mystical fire it can't really beat any of them at all 1v1 and they can easily switch in and beat it

Mega Latias fits incredibly well on balance teams, where its defensive qualities can be paired up with other Pokemon to create incredibly hard to break through defensive cores. As such teammates like Toxapex, Heatran, and Corviknight make for very desirable teammates, as their incredible durability can help in longer games, which the balance teams Mega Latias tends to be on are in alot. what do they check for mega latias and what do they provide for it? this point is pretty vague at the moment More offensive teammates such as Weavile, Swords Dance Gliscor, and Clefable, are also useful for pressuring Pokemon that check Latias, like Reuniclus, Heatran, Toxapex, and Weavile. Dark-types such as Mega Tyranitar, Weavile, and Ash-Greninja are able to threaten Mega Latias with their STAB attacks, as such pairing up Latias with Dark-type resists like Buzzwole, Clefable, and Tapu Fini makes for an excellent defensive core. Mega Latias is also incredibly prone to being chipped down long term, either by status from foes like Toxapex, Chansey, Heatran and Ferrothorn or by Stealth Rocks. As such teammates that can help mitigate these weaknesses are incredibly useful. Status absorbers such as Chansey Blissey, Clefable, and Gliscor are incredibly potent teammates being able to absorb status moves for Latias, the former two are also able to provide Latias with cleric support, which can relieve it of any status conditions it gets. Defog support from teammates like Corviknight, Tapu Fini, and Gliscor is also incredibly valuable for removing entry hazards.

[SET COMMENTS]

While it still uses Calm Mind, BoltBeam coverage makes Mega Latias play incredibly differently than its Psyshock counterpart. The near perfect coverage between Ice Beam and Thunder gives it incredible sweeping power, if its a Super Effective hit or if Latias has garnered enough Calm Mind boosts, it does unfortunately hit rather weak however it's unfortunately very weak when unboosted. there's more you can add here, like how no psyshock makes it harder to beat other cm users 1v1 and how it wants more support to beat its checks compared to shock + aura It does also give it better defensive utility, with the given coverage allowing it to check foes like Gliscor, Landorus-T, Manaphy, and Rockium-Z Garchomp. you should put this before you start talking about the cons of this set Thunder is the preferred move to use over Thunderbolt, as while it may be inaccurate, its increased chance to paralyze lets Latias potentially beat Pokemon like Clefable, Reuniclus, and Toxapex.

Due to Latias' immediate lack of power, entry hazard support from teammates like Clefable, Heatran, Ferrothorn, and Skarmory can help it spread damage more easily. Pairing it up with other bulky Win Conditions such as Calm Mind Clefable, Bulk Up Corviknight, and Swords Dance Gliscor makes for great synergy, thanks to Thunder's ability to spread paralysis on common defensive Pokemon such as Toxapex, Heatran, and Ferrothorn allow these teammates to find better opportunities to devastate opposing teams. you should talk about hazards here because rocks and especially spikes and tspikes are super valuable for boltbeam mlati

[SET COMMENTS]
Stored Power loses some of Mega Latias' immediate power and defensive utility, in return it becomes a devastating sweeper if its able to garner enough Calm Mind boosts, being able to break through every single Pokemon in the tier with enough boosts, barring Dark-types. Due to Stored Power's immense power once its fully boosted up, this set tends to forgo a secondary coverage move in favour of utility moves which can help Latias stay on the field longer, as if its forced out by status or chip damage it loses all of it Calm Mind boosts. i would reword this to moves that negate its biggest issues, specifically status, and you should also add how that can turn mons that be annoying for latias into setup fodder Refresh allows Latias to shrug off status conditions from foes like Toxapex, Clefable, Heatran, and Landorus-T, letting it stay healthy and not forcing it to Roost as much, which makes it more efficient in sweeping. also add how refresh makes it easier to setup vs them Substitute also lets it dodge status conditions, however, it has to play more carefully around them as it cannot directly switch into them. It does also come with the benefit of allowing Latias to dodge Critical Hits and pesky secondary effects from foes like Greninja, Kyurem, and Tapu Lele, while also allowing it to escape from Weavile and Tyranitars Pursuit. Reflect Type can also be used as reflecting foes like Heatran, Toxapex, and Ferrothorn can allow it not only to resist their status inflicting moves but also resisting their attacks, and also allowing it to resist foes like Mega Mawile, Ash-Greninja, Heatran, and Hydreigon.

Paragraph 2:
Due to the fact that Latias needs time to set up in order to be threatening, and how its practically useless unless it can find an opportunity to set up, pairing it up with other teammates that can be threatening on their own, such as Swords Dance Gliscor, or Calm Mind Reuniclus can win even if Latias cannot find an opportunity to set up, and teammates such as Choice Band Weavile and Heatran that are threatening even without needing time to set up compliment Latias nicely. Due to this sets complete inability to hurt and wear down Dark-types, like Weavile, Mega Tyranitar, Hydreigon, and Ash-Greninja, pairing this set up with Toxic Spikes from Toxapex is near mandatory, i would say spreading poison in general is mandated for it, not just tspikes, because hydreigon isn't affected by them whatsoever and teammates that can deal with these Dark-types, like Tapu Fini, Buzzwole, and Clefable also make for stellar teammates.

Defog can be run as Latias can threaten common entry hazard setters like Landorus-T, Heatran, and Ferrothorn, if it carries the right coverage. Thunder Wave can also be run to support its teammates. And its access to the rare Wish can let it safely pass wishes to teammates that appreciate the recovery. However, all the options falter in terms of offensive presence, and not being able to run every coverage move it wants to can really hurt.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Chansey and Blissey**: Mega Latias is almost entirely unable to beat Chansey and Blissey, due to their insanely high special bulk and tendency to run Status moves that cripple Latias. However, if Latias manages to get enough Calm Mind boosts, its able to threaten them with either Psyshock or Stored Power, if it has it. And Stored Power variants with Refresh can beat them 1v1.

**Status**: Getting statused cripples Latias immensely, as Poison makes it unable to stay in on the field for long amount of times and set up Calm Minds, Burn makes it have to Roost more often, and paralysis hinders its good speed stat and makes it outsped by Pokemon such as Bisharp, Mega Mawile, and Heatran. Stored Power variants can avoid these status conditions though.

**Dark-types**: Dark-types such as Weavile, Mega Tyranitar, Ash-Greninja, and Hydreigon counter the Stored Power set, and can threaten Latias out with their powerful STAB attacks. Latias must also be wary of Pursuit from Weavile and Mega Tyranitar, as it threatens to KO it even if it tries to switch out.

**Steel-types**: Steel-types such as Heatran, Ferrothorn, and Mega Mawile live any unboosted it from Latias and can either hinder it from setting up or threaten it out. all 3 of them threaten mega latias out, just in different ways, id reword this to say "and can threaten it out with either status or an OHKO"

Mega Latias is incredibly hard to knock out, thanks to its good defensive typing which lets it check multiple threatening Pokemon, notably Rillaboom, Mega Charizard Y, and Urshifu-R use more relevant examples like kart / heatran lacking toxic / and zard y still , its good ability, and amazing base stats; notably, it packs a stellar Speed stat for a defensive Pokemon, outspeeding common threats such as Kartana, Mega Medicham, and Tapu Lele. These traits allow it to find multiple opportunities to set up Calm Mind throughout a match. This, in tandem with its diverse movepool makes it into a fantastic wincon on bulky teams. Psyshock is the preferred Psychic-type move, as it's able to hit Chansey and Blissey, and also allows Mega Latias to beat opposing Calm Mind users such as Clefable, Tapu Fini, and Reuniclus by hitting their unboosted Physical Defense stats. Its nicely complemented by Aura Sphere, which hits Steel- and Dark-types that resist Psyshock, like Heatran, Weavile, and Mega Tyranitar. Mystical Fire can also be used, as it hits Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn harder, as well as giving it a way to hit Mega Sableye. However, with enough boosts Latias can break through the former two, and without Aura Sphere, Pokemon like Mega Tyranitar, Heatran, and Hydreigon are able to freely come in on Latias and beat it.

BoltBeam coverage makes Mega Latias play incredibly differently than its Psyshock counterpart. The near-perfect coverage between Ice Beam and Thunder makes it incredibly hard to switch into, once boosted or if its a super-effective hit. It also gives it better defensive utility as it to check foes like Gliscor, Landorus-T, Manaphy, and Rockium-Z Garchomp. Thunder is preferred to use over Thunderbolt, as despite its inaccuracy, its increased chance to paralyze lets Latias potentially beat Pokemon like Clefable, Reuniclus, and Toxapex. However, its unfortunately very weak against neutral foes when unboosted, which causes it to require more support in terms of entry hazards and status effects. And due to the lack of Psyshock, it struggles against opposing Calm Mind users. what else is different? it becomes a status spreader, but is less immediate in breaking down teams so it needs better status control support, teams can rely on it more defensively so they can diversify their team choices as well

Due to Latias' immediate lack of power, entry hazard support from teammates like Clefable, Heatran, Ferrothorn, and Skarmory can help it wear down checks like Heatran, Gastrodon, and Mega Tyranitar. Pairing it up with other bulky wincons such as Calm Mind Clefable, Bulk Up Corviknight, and Swords Dance Gliscor create a great synergy, thanks to Thunder's ability to spread paralysis on defensive Pokemon such as Toxapex, Heatran, and Ferrothorn allow these teammates to find better opportunities to set up and devastate opposing teams.
