I've heard they're short of room in hell
Yeah flash cannon is ass outside of specs ors something. Scarf set should look like this, imo
name: Choice Scarf
move 1: Dark Pulse
move 2: Draco Meteor
move 3: Fire Blast
move 4: U-turn
ability: Levitate
item: Choice Scarf
nature: Modest
evs: 32 HP / 252 SAtk / 224 Spe
I used this set for a long time and coverage options may seem appealing, but in reality you're either nuking something on the revenge with DM, or pivoting out with U-turn. Trying to nab a heatran with earth power on the switch is a high risk play considering the damage it does to anything else. T-tar is a crap switch in to a u-turn spammer, and superpower does nothing to chansey so it's kinda crap. Fire Blast has the best super effective coverage I think, so i'd slash it first, you're a revenge killer, and after its revealed it tends to force the most switches for u-turn to do its job. Pivoting out of tran, tyranitar, fairies is not a problem for this dark dragon. Dark pulse is there because its nice to not have to drop your offenses is nice and is the best move against aegislash who you're decent at fighting with this set.
Should be stressed that niche over scarf latios is
- resist Sucker punch, knock off, pursuit and shadow sneak unlike lati who is weak to those
- better movepool (why doesnt hydrei get t-bolt though ;_;)
- modest scarf lati is pretty dumb and modest hydreigon hits harder than timid latios
- Better physical bulk by quite a bit (banded talonflame ohkos latios, and LO mamo kos lati with ice shard after rocks I think)
- u-turn!
