How to use Latios Mega in the current VGC format?

**To use Latios Mega effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Dragon/Psychic type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Latios Mega appears as a prominent choice in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Latios Mega fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Levitate, Latiosite and Timid 2/0/0/32/0/32. Its frequent moves include Draco Meteor, Protect, Tailwind, Aura Sphere, Calm Mind, and Dragon Pulse. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Latios Mega has important weaknesses to bug 2x, dark 2x, dragon 2x, fairy 2x, ghost 2x, ice 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Grimmsnarl, Orthworm, Dragapult, Goodra-Hisui, and Dragalge appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
