Latias @ Soul Dew
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Calm Mind
- Psychic
- Draco Meteor
- Roost

Calm Mind Latias is one of the most potent wallbreakers in BDSP OU. It easily sets up with Calm Mind in front of common Pokemon like Rotom-W, Gliscor, and Infernape while they struggle to damage it back. Boosted Draco Meteors and Psychics demolish almost everything and dent even resistant targets such as offensive Heatran for good damage. Latias's STAB combination is only resisted by Steel-types, meaning partners that can pressure or outright remove them such as Heatran, Infernape, and Magnezone work well. Heatran in particular is a solid partner, as it threatens burns via Flame Body on both Scizor and Weavile, making the former much easier to break through and causing the latter to struggle to revenge kill Latias. Weavile is a notable offensive partner as well, as it wears down its shared checks with Latias, and lures in Fighting- and Water-types like Breloom and Rotom-W for Latias to take advantage of.

you say amazing twice in the opening sentence, change one of them to smth else. you also list infernape twice, i'd change it to gliscor. it also can't set up in front of breloom necessarily due to spore, so i'd change loom to rotom-w
