[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Scarf Latias makes for great speed control on Psychic teams, outspeeding and threatening the likes of non-Choice Scarf Dragapult, Choice Specs Greninja, and +1 Gouging Fire. Draco Meteor is a powerful attack that takes out Latios, Sableye, and Ursaluna-B. Trick allows it to greatly weaken foes that are reliant on their items, such as Heavy-Duty Boots users such as Amoonguss and Dragonite as well as Leftovers and Black Sludge users like Corviknight, Archaludon, and Alolan Muk. Healing Wish allows Latias to sacrifice itself to cure status and restore HP to a weakened teammate. 8 Special Defense EVs allow Latias to survive Choice Scarf Flutter Mane's Moonblast from full health.

Indeedee makes for a great partner, as it sets up Psychic Terrain to boost its teammates' Psychic-type STAB moves. Furthermore, Indeedee's part-Normal typing makes it a great asset in the Ghost matchup, performing well against threats like Spectrier and Choice Specs Flutter Mane. Slowbro is a good defensive partner, walling the likes of Mamoswine, Kingambit, and Chien-Pao and taking them out with Scald and Body Press. It also spreads paralysis with Thunder Wave so Latias is able to outspeed faster threats such as Choice Scarf Iron Valiant and Dragapult. Metagross and Deoxys-S both set up entry hazards to aid Latias, and Deoxys-S can act as a suicide lead, able to take out speedy threats such as Choice Scarf Iron Valiant and Sneasler. Metagross and Iron Crown both appreciate Latias handling Ground-types they don't like matching up against such as Choice Scarf Great Tusk and Landorus. In return, Iron Crown takes out Corviknight, Hatterene, and Clefable. Choice Band Hoopa-U beats bulky threats that Latias struggles with such as Hisuian Goodra, Blissey, and Gholdengo, and it appreciates Latias’s removal of Pecharunt in return. Hatterene provides hazard control through Magic Bounce, and with its part-Fairy typing, it takes on Dark-types like Mandibuzz, Roaring Moon, and Meowscarada. In return, Latias handles Poison-types that threaten Hatterene such as Choice Specs Iron Moth and Pecharunt. Iron Boulder forms a great offensive pairing with Latias, with Iron Boulder dealing with the likes of Choice Scarf Iron Valiant and Enamorus, while Latias handles Dragapult and Archaludon.

Choice Scarf Latias makes for great speed control for Psychic teams, outspeeding and threatening the likes of Iron Defense Zamazenta non Choice Scarf Dragapult psychic doesnt rly care abt zama, Iron Valiant, and Choice Scarf Urshifu-R. Draco Meteor is a nuke that takes out Dragapult, Sableye, and Ursaluna-B. Trick allows it to weaken foes that are reliant on their items, such as Heavy-Duty Boots from users such as Amoonguss and Dragonite, as well as recovery items from Corviknight and Archaludon i would mention that it makes these mons pretty much useless or however you wanna word it but if it ends up becoming awkward to put it or word it in a smooth way you can ignore this. Healing Wish allows Latias to sacrifice itself to cure status and restore longevity to a weakened teammate.

Indeedee makes for a great partner, as it sets up Psychic Terrain to boost both Latias's well you know what im gonna say here LMAO and its teammates' Psychic STAB as well as prevent it from being revenge killed by Dragonite and Chien-Pao. Furthermore, Indeedee's part Normal-typing makes it a great asset in the Ghost matchup, matching up well against threats like Spectrier and Choice Specs Flutter Mane. Metagross and Deoxys-S both set up hazards to aid Latias; and Deoxys-S can act as a suicide lead to take out speedy threats such as Choice Scarf Iron Valiant and Sneasler. Metagross and Iron Crown both appreciate Latias taking out Ground-types they don't like matching up against such as Choice Scarf Great Tusk and Landorus. In return, Iron Crown takes out Corviknight, Hatterene, and Clefable. Choice Band Hoopa-U takes out bulky threats that Latias struggles with such as Hisuian Goodra and Gholdengo; and it appreciates the removal of Pecharunt in return. Hatterene provides hazard control through Magic Bounce, and with its part Fairy-typing, it takes on Dark-types like Mandibuzz and Meowscarada.

[boomp]

- For the opening sentence, i would take out iron valiant and urshifu-r as examples since lati/ the team is naturally good against them. I would change it to Choice Specs Greninja and Gouging Fire.
- Add an EV sentence, allows Latias to survive a Choice Scarf Flutter Mane's Moonblast from full
- Add in Alola Muk as a trick target as well beside corvi and archaludon.
- Add Blissey as one of the examples that choice band hoopa-U takes out as well.

Hatterene provides hazard control through Magic Bounce, and with its part Fairy-typing, it takes on Dark-types like Mandibuzz and Meowscarada.

- Add in Roaring Moon as well, we just 1v1 it with draining kiss.
- Add slowbro as a teammate, great wall that can threaten Mamoswine, Kingambit, and chien-pao via scald and body press.

QC 2/2 Well done!

choice scarf doesn’t affect flutter mane’s damage output and therefore isn’t relevant to the calc at hand
Indeedee makes for a great partner, as it sets up Psychic Terrain to boost its teammates' Psychic-type STAB moves as well as prevent it from being revenge killed by Dragonite and Chien-Pao. this second clause doesn’t apply to Latias, as non grounded Pokemon do not gain the effects of terrain, so even under psychic terrain, Dragonite and Chien-pao are free to espeed or sucker punch respectively. Furthermore, Indeedee's part Normal-typing makes it a great asset in the Ghost matchup, matching up performing well against threats like Spectrier and Choice Specs Flutter Mane. Slowbro is a good defensive partner, walling the likes of Mamoswine, Kingambit, and Chien-Pao with Scald and Body Press.
