- Trick / Defog

[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Scarf Latias is an effective form of speed control on Psychic teams, differentiating itself from other Choice Scarf users like Tapu Lele and Iron Boulder with its excellent utility options such as Healing Wish. Latias's part-Dragon typing alongside Levitate lets it switch into and threaten many Electric- and Ground-type attackers such as Alolan Raichu and Landorus. Trick is preferred over Defog, as it allows Latias to shift its Choice Scarf to special walls like Ting-Lu and Blissey that would otherwise trouble it. However, Defog can be used over Trick to allow it to clear entry hazards for its teammates thanks to its great Speed. Healing Wish lets Latias stand out from other Choice Scarf users by allowing it to give one of its teammates a second chance in battle. Victini is a fantastic teammate for Latias because it that helps break through Steel-type Pokemon such as Gholdengo and Skarmory. Similarly, Mega Gallade can support Latias by breaking down Steel- and Dark-type Pokemon such as Heatran, Hisuian Goodra, Tyranitar, and Ting-Lu. In return, Latias can provide Healing Wish and Defog support for both Mega Gallade and Victini, check Zapdos for Mega Gallade, and check Ground- and Water-type Pokemon such as Garchomp and Ogerpon-W for Victini. Choice Scarf Tapu Lele is an excellent teammate for Latias, threatening Dark-type Pokemon such as Mega Sableye and Weavile. Jirachi is also a great teammate because it can deal with Fairy-type Pokemon such as Tapu Lele and Choice Scarf Iron Valiant, sponge attacks from Pokemon like Kyurem and opposing Latias, set up entry hazards, and provide safe switch-ins for Latias with U-turn.

Choice Scarf Latias is an effective form of speed control on Psychic teams, differencing itself from other Choice Scarf users like Tapu Lele and Iron Boulder with access to excellent utility options such as Healing Wish. Latias's part Dragon typing, alongside Levitate let let's it switch into and threaten many Electric- and Ground-type attackers such as Zapdos, Landorus and Choice-locked Excadrill (I'm not sure this is a great example for Latias as it can really only switch into Choice-locked Excadrill a few times and that is with predicting an earthquake without the unfortunate Mold Breaker sets. I think taking off Excadrill and keeping Landorus is the best option). Draco Meteor lets Latias revenge kill troublesome Dragon-type Pokemon such as Hydreigon and Kyurem. Trick is used to allow Latias to cripple shift it's Choice Scarf to special walls like Ting-Lu and Blissey. Defog can be used over Trick to allow Latias to clear hazards for its teammates thanks to its great speed. Healing Wish lets Latias stand out from other Choice Scarf users by allowing Latias to restore the health and status of one of its teammates, allowing them to have a second chance in the battle. Victini is a fantastic teammate for Latias that helps break through Steel-type Pokemon such as Gholdengo and Skarmory. In return, Latias can provide Healing Wish support and clear entry hazards for Victini, while also checking Ground- and Water-type Pokemon such as Garchomp and Ogerpon-W for it. Similarly, Mega Gallade also can break down Steel- and Dark-type Pokemon such as Heatran, Hisuian Goodra, Tyranitar and Ting-Lu for Latias. In return, Latias can also provide Healing Wish and Defog support for Mega Gallade, while also being able to check Zapdos for it. Tapu Lele is an excellent teammate for Latias, threatening Dark-type Pokemon such as Mega Sableye and Weavile, while, in return, Latias can check Pokemon such as Iron Moth and Victini, Latias can further aid Tapu Lele by luring in special walls such as Blissey and Hisuian-Goodra by tricking them a Choice Scarf. (The example you used prior to Trick already used Blissey. I would re-word this and remove Blissey as an example as Tapu Lele can already break down Blissey with Specs/Psychic-Terrain boosted Psyshock.)Jirachi is a great teammate for Latias as it can deal with Fairy-type Pokemon such as Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant, as well as being able to sponge Dragon-type attacks from Pokemon like Kyurem and opposing Latias, while also setting up entry hazards and providing safe switch-ins with U-turn for Latias. In return, Latias can check Ground- and Fire-type Pokemon such as Garchomp, Landorus, and Mega Charizard-X for JIrachi Jirachi, while also providing Healing Wish support incase if it gets statused or low on health, allowing it to continue checking Pokemon such as Mega Diancie and Kyurem. (The example of Kyurem though was used is fine, some other alternatives could potentially be Hatterene or Mega Altaria.)

(Overall great job!)

Latias

Choice Scarf Latias is an effective form of speed control on Psychic teams, differencing itself from other Choice Scarf users like Tapu Lele and Iron Boulder with access to excellent utility options such as Healing Wish. Latias's part Dragon typing, alongside Levitate let's it switch into and threaten many Electric- and Ground-type attackers such as Zapdos Alolan Raichu (alolan raichu is a better mention imo since you dont really wanna switch into a hurricane from specs zapdos, and you resist all of alolachu's attacks) and Landorus. Draco Meteor lets Latias revenge kill troublesome Dragon-type Pokemon such as Hydreigon and Kyurem. Obvious STAB so you can delete this Trick is used to allow Latias to shift it's Choice Scarf to special walls like Ting-Lu and Blissey. Defog can be used over Trick to allow Latias to clear hazards for its teammates thanks to its great speed Mention why trick is preferred over defog, is it weakening walls lati struggles with?. Healing Wish lets Latias stand out from other Choice Scarf users by allowing Latias to restore the health and status of one of its teammates, allowing them to have a second chance in the battle. Victini is a fantastic teammate for Latias that helps break through Steel-type Pokemon such as Gholdengo and Skarmory. In return, Latias can provide Healing Wish support and clear entry hazards for Victini, while also checking Ground- and Water-type Pokemon such as Garchomp and Ogerpon-W for it. Similarly, Mega Gallade also can break down Steel- and Dark-type Pokemon such as Heatran, Hisuian Goodra, Tyranitar and Ting-Lu for Latias. In return, Latias can also provide Healing Wish and Defog support for Mega Gallade, while also being able to check Zapdos for it. Choice Scarf Tapu Lele is an excellent teammate for Latias, threatening Dark-type Pokemon such as Mega Sableye and Weavile, while, in return, Latias can check Pokemon such as Iron Moth and Victini, Latias can further aid Tapu Lele by luring in special walls such as Ting-Lu and Hisuian-Goodra by tricking them a Choice Scarf (You dont need to write what lati does in return all the time as we're trying to keep the analysis short and just mentioning what lati does in return is redundant). Jirachi is a great teammate for Latias as it can deal with Fairy-type Pokemon such as Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant (lati doesnt struggle with valiant unless its scarf cuz psychic OHKOs, would specify that its scarf or change it), as well as being able to sponge Dragon-type attacks from Pokemon like Kyurem and opposing Latias, while also setting up entry hazards and providing safe switch-ins with U-turn for Latias. In return, Latias can check Ground- and Fire-type Pokemon such as Garchomp, Landorus, and Mega Charizard-X for Jirachi, while also providing Healing Wish support incase if it gets statused or low on health, allowing it to continue checking Pokemon such as Hatterene and Kyurem.

AM Check Feedback

- "part-[type] typing" is hyphenated.
- Your change was fine, I probably would've cut the part that's literally just explaining what Healing Wish does rather than the elaboration.
- Changing "Steel- and Dark-type Pokemon" to "Steel- but also Dark-type Pokemon" was very unnecessary.
