stat help

Hello everyone, I'm probably only going to be on this forum once but I need your guys' help on a stat question.

My brother and I both have pokemon emerald and we both are able to go to the battle frontier. I read up on serebii about almost everything. I spent a lot of time but was able to find a good special attack sweeper latios. However, my brother also has a good special attack sweeper latios. I'm just curious which one is "better".

I used the IV calculator on the site and here are the IV's for the Latios'

Latios 1 (Modest)
Recieved a wonderfully outstanding overall ability from breeder (IV total 151-186) with perfect sp. defense.
HP:21
Attack: 27
Defense: 30
Sp. Attack: 25
Sp. Defense: 31
Speed:17

Latios 2 (Modest)
Recieved quite impressive overall ability from breeder (IV total 121-150) with perfect sp.attack.
HP: 24
Attack: 21
Defense: 24
Sp. Attack: 31
Sp. Defense 8
Speed: 23

On the regular stats when you press "summary" in the game though the stats don't really vary by much (usually 1-2). Except for Latios 1 who is better by 8 in sp. def. We plan to max EV train their speed and sp. attack.

Hmm, thats a tough one. I think the first one is better.
 
Latios 2 is better but not by much.

Awesome offensive capabilites and good speed. The second one could take the first one out with its superior speed and attack. EV train its speed and special attack and you would get a great pokemon. I suggest this moveset.

Psychic
Thunderbolt
Thunder Wave
Recover

that Latios would be nearly unstoppable, but I'll try to think of better strategies
 
Latios
-Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt
-Recover
-Dragon Claw/Psychic (for STAB)
 
I was thinking the same thing about being more powerful attack wise, however, we're not going to be fighing each other's latios. The added defense could help if I end up fighting someone with more speed than me. Is the difference in attack and speed that much different? I heard 1 sp. attack IV = 1 extra damage (according to the site, correct me if I'm wrong).

EDIT: btw, I already know what moveset I want (ice beam, thunderbolt, psychic, dragonclaw) as suggested by the site. I don't think recover is needed because it's a special attack sweeper.....

Well, assuming you EV train them both in 252 Sp.Atk, Latios #1 is only going to have 6 Sp.Atk less then Latios #2.
 
Yea, I will be training them as a standard sweep (sp. attack and speed) so do those 6 IV actually translate to 6 dmg? Doesn't seem that much of a difference, then wouldn't it be better to go with latios 1 if that is the case?
