Latios help?

[Brockness Monster]

I just caught latios in my emerald version and was wondering what moveset and EV spread would be best for it.I was thinking about using one from the in-game moveset thread.I have to change the nature from adamant to brave though.(not sure about evs)

Latios @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
Brave Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Shadow Ball
- Earthquake
- Recover/Ice Beam/Thunderbolt

will this work out ok or should i use something different?any help is appreciated.

Hmm... That isn't really bad, but here are some alternitives if you want to try them.

Calm Mind
Dragon Claw
Safeguard/Refresh
Recover

Or

Calm Mind
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt (Or if you want, Thunder)
Recover

Both use Sould dew.

Why you would choose a physical attacking Latios instead of a special attacking one is a mystery.

Latios @Leftovers/Soul Dew
EVs: 164 HP / 92 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest/Timid Nature
-Dragon Claw/Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt
-Calm Mind
-Recover

Well, if you have an Adamant/Brave (Adamant is +Att, -Sp.Att by the way, Brave is +Att, -Speed) one, then yeah, the physical set from the sitcky is your best bet. Otherwise go with what AB posted (Psychic + Dragon Claw is another option for the 1st two moves. Both get STAB, but Steel types wall you..)

A Latios without enough speed is pretty much a bad Latios. If you have the patience, restart and look for a better natured one.

Otherwise, there are plenty of Special Sweepers out there too, like Starmie, Alakazam, Gengar.

thanks for the help.i was thinking about the physical one to try to give it moves that benefit from its Brave nature.
