Choice Scarf Latias is a premier revenge killer on Dragon teams for its decent revenge killing capabilities, as it's able to outspeed common threats to Dragon teams such as Iron Valiant, Choice Specs Greninja, and Mega Garchomp while providing useful utility options in Defog and Healing Wish. Psychic lets Latias revenge kill troublesome Fighting-type Pokemon such as Hisuian Lilligant and Mega Lopunny. However, Psyshock can instead be used to hit Assault Vest Iron Hands and Clodsire harder. Defog allows Latias to work as emergency entry hazard removal thanks to its great Speed. Trick can be used over Defog to allow Latias to cripple special walls like Galarian Slowking and Blissey. Healing Wish lets Latias restore the health and status of one of its teammates, allowing them to have a second chance in the battle. Mega Altaria and Roaring Moon are superb partners that threaten the Dark- and Ghost-type Pokemon that Latias is weak to such as Tyranitar and Gholdengo. Kyurem is another great offensive partner, as it can destroy threats that Latias struggles against such as Mamoswine and Ting-Lu; in return, Latias can inconvenience special walls like Blissey and Galarian Slowking with Trick, beat Fighting-type Pokemon such as Keldeo and Urshifu-R for Kyurem, and provide Healing Wish support for it to take advantage of. Garchomp is also a great partner that pressures Steel-type Pokemon that Latias struggles against. It can also punish most physical attacks directed at Latias with Rough Skin if using a defensive set, while its Swords Dance set takes advantage of special walls that Latias struggles with such as Blissey and Galarian Slowking. Garchomp can also set up hazards, which allow Latias to OHKO threats such as Greninja for its team. Kommo-o is also a fantastic partner for Latias, as it beats Steel- and Dark-type Pokemon such as Mega Scizor and Ting-Lu while also appreciating Healing Wish support for a second assault. Archaludon is a great partner for Latias as well, as it provides a buffer against threats such as Roaring Moon and Mega Altaria that would otherwise beat Latias or take advantage of it while also setting up hazards for Latias.
