Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Latios is a dragon/psychic-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 600 BST it is a legendary-grade total for competitive play, with top speed tier (base 110) and a special attacking profile. Its Levitate ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Latios. Build around what Latios actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
