Mega Latios zooms back to relevance in National Dex! With its newly buffed Luster Purge, Mega Latios can exert major pressure on defensive staples like Galarian Slowking and Alomomola thanks to its 50% chance of dropping foes' Special Defense. Draco Meteor deals major damage to neutral targets, notably Ogerpon-W and Hoopa-U. Alternatively, Mystical Fire allows Mega Latios to take down foes like Mega Scizor and Corviknight. Aura Sphere finishes Mega Latios's set perfectly, hitting Pokemon like Mega Tyranitar and Heatran that attempt to check it. Roost keeps Mega Latios healthy to wallbreak consistently, check threats like Ogerpon-W and Zamazenta thanks to its typing, and shrug off passive damage from Garganacl's Salt Cure and Heatran's Magma Storm. Despite having Aura Sphere, Mega Latios can struggle with Dark-types that are bulky enough to take it or outspeed it like Ting-Lu, Weavile, and Darkrai; therefore, partners like Zamazenta and Iron Valiant are great for it. In return, both appreciate Mega Latios pressuring common checks like Galarian Slowking and Toxapex.
