A WORLD CHAMPION MADE THIS LATIOS TEAM | 2025 VGC REG I
Howdy Ho, YouTube! Today, I am using a team made by 2017 World Champion Ryota Otsubo. The team features an odd Restricted Pairing of Zamazenta and Lunala, but also has Latios, a Pokémon that sees almost no play. Let's take a look!
Latios is here to set Tailwind and disrupt the opponent with the move Ally Switch. It also deals damage with powerful moves like Luster Purge and Draco Meteor. It is partnered with Iron Defense Zamazenta, something we've been seeing more of, and Meteor Beam Lunala. However, this one has no bulk, so it hits as fast as it falls.
The rest of the team is mostly standard. Assault Vest Rillaboom sets the terrain and has Fake Out, but this one is more offensive than the normal version. Choice Scarf Urshifu provides a second pivot, but this one is Jolly and has Poison Jab. Finally, Torkoal helps in the Trick Room matchup and sets the weather.
