Best Pokemon vs Latias

Latias is Dragon/Psychic. So many weaknesses but so many resistances

Posted by eric654256 on February 24, 2019

Latias is dragon and psychic type. So it is weak to dragon, fairy, ice, bug, dark, and ghost. Which ones come out on top? The list of top DO@20 counters against Latias is:

  1. Rayquaza: Dragon Tail, Air Slash / Outrage
  2. Palkia: Dragon Tail, Dragon Breath / Draco Meteor
  3. Salamence: Dragon Tail, Bite / Draco Meteor
  4. Dragonite: Dragon Tail, Dragon Breath / Outrage, Draco Meteor
  5. Mamoswine: Powder Snow, Mud Slap / Avalanche
  6. Mewtwo: Psycho Cut, Confusion / Shadow Ball
  7. Weavile: Feint Attack / Avalanche, Foul Play
  8. Latios: Dragon Breath / Dragon Claw
  9. Tyranitar: Bite / Crunch
  10. Rampardos: Smack Down / Outrage

Weather

When it is windy, dragon types and dragon moves are boosted. Latios (#5), Latias(#6), Gyarados(#9), Ramparados(#10) move up in ranking.

When it is raining, bug types become useful, like Scizor(#4), Pinsir(#8), and Yanmega(#10)

When it is foggy, the top of the list changes into Mewtwo(#1), Weavile(#2), Rayquaza(#3), Tyranitar(#4), Mismagius(#7), Drifblim(#10)

When it is snowing , ice moves are boosted so we get Mamoswine(#1), Weavile(#2), and Jynx(#8)

Move set

When Latias has outrage, dragon types faint pretty quickly. The top DO@20 are Mewtwo, Mamoswine, Tyranitar, Gyarados, and Weavile.

Similar to Palkia, these guys are more about TDO than DPS. For me, I don't plan on using this list, I'll keep my dragon types (with higher DPS) and set up 1 or 2 additional battle parties once all of my dragons faint against Outrage.
