I started with a Choice Specs Latias that I wanted to build around (thanks Sacri' for getting me on the wave!). Specs allows you to do crazy things like 50% damage to A-Muk and ohkoing offensive Gliscor, and I've also added Sleep Talk to give me more counterplay to Breloom. Surf is chosen because it hits common Lati switchins like Base Aggron, Steelix, Krookodile, and offensive Scizor, 2hoking or Ohkoing all of them. It also let's you pressure SpD Gliscor in neutral when it could Roost on your Dracos earlier. Next up I'm using a Poison Heal Breloom to help me bust through slower teams as well as be a general nuisance with spore and passive recovery. Facade lets you break through Amoonguss after an SD with Rocks, and Drain Punch gives you tons of passive recovery. Swampert was the next member chosen, running a fun Subzero Slammer set with Counter. The attack EVs ohko Serperior after rocks (25% chance for raw ohko if you need the damage stat, but I find it easier to just set rocks on its first switch and Subzero the second one, lets you retain more bulk.) Counter is used here as way to punish U-turn spam that the team is slightly weak to. I was looking weak to opposing dragons specifically, so the next team members attempt to fix that. I have here a fun Doublade set, with Pursuit to get chip damage on threats like Latias, and Toxic to annoy walls like Hippowdon and Swampert that will use you to set up Rocks on or recover. The EVs let you take two Life Orb Latias HP Fires comfortably, while still killing it with two Pursuits. Swampert and Doublade both lacked passive recovery, so I thought the team could use Wish support. Sylveon provides that along with a secondary Dragon check, I've opted for Calm nature to deal with Mega Manectric and Kyurem more easily. Finally, Hydreigon compresses Speed Control and Hazard Removal in one slot, and can often abuse how Latias punches holes in opposing teams to clean at the end.
