Latios PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

⚔️ Raids

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 PvE. 🤕 Some of its other Charged Attacks include:

  • Psychic and Luster Purge: Similar to Latias, Latios’ legacy move Luster Purge is more PvP oriented than PvE. For Trainers looking to use Latios as a Psychic raid attacker, Psychic is the way to go.
  • Solar Beam: Just exists in the movepool.
  • Aura Sphere: A very strong Charged Attack that does give Latios some play as a Fighting-type raid attacker.

As a Psychic-type Pokémon, Latios performance improves, performing better than the likes of Espeon and Alakazam. However, it still isn’t a top-tier attacker, trailing behind the heavyweights like Mewtwo etc. Absolutely no point using it as a Dragon-type attacker, but it can fit into your Psychic-type squad for some extra power. 💫

With Aura Sphere in its armory, Latios can now certainly do the duty of an average Fighting raid attacker as well, though its Shadow counterpart does this duty way better.

🛡️ Gyms

Legendaries cannot be placed in Gyms.

Latios PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

The Dragon Breath and Aura Sphere combo is a boom for any user. 🐲

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. The performance...
