PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Dragon Attacker:
Dragon Breath
Dragon Claw - Psychic Attacker:
Zen Headbutt
Psychic
Latios has wonderful stats, but it's still lower than some non-Legendaries like Salamence and Haxorus. However, the core problem with it is Dragon Breath and Dragon Claw, a low-damage pair when it comes to PvP. 🤕
As a Psychic-type Pokémon, Zen Headbutt is a snooze, making its damage output worse than even Alakazam and Espeon, let alone Mewtwo. ☹️
⚔️ Raids
Absolutely no point using it as a Dragon-type attacker, but it can fit into your Psychic-type squad for some extra power. 💫
🛡️ Gyms
Legendaries cannot be put in Gyms.

Luster Purge
The Dragon Breath and Dragon Claw combo is a boom for any user, and Latios also gets STAB. 🐲
That said, the Dragon/Psychic typing leaves Latios vulnerable to six weaknesses (Bug, Dark, Dragon, Fairy, Ghost, Ice) while also being absolutely useless against Steel types. 😭
🔵 Great League
Latios’ offense-oriented stats and typing make it clunky to use in the Great League. Besides, there are far better options for both its types in the Great League. 😶
🟡 Ultra League
Despite a good moveset, Latios’ numerous weaknesses punish any potential. Ghost, Dark, and Steel are particularly major problems. Latios just can't catch a break! 😮💨
🟣 Master League
Another League, this time with no restrictions on its stats, and yet the same story. Latios isn't built for PvP. 🤦
