Latias-Mega (F) @ Latiasite
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 176 Def / 84 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Recover
- Stored Power
- Thunderbolt
The EV spread maximizes physical bulk while still outspeeding Adamant Excadrill. You could probably dump more EVs into Speed if you want to outspeed stuff like Garchomp I guess, but I just prefer this spread. Calm Mind lets it act as a great wincon for a bunch of types. Stored Power is just there because it goes well with how CM Mega Latias works, but you can use another Psychic move too. Thunderbolt complements Psychic coverage well, and I chose it over moves like Ice Beam or DPulse to hit Heatran, Bisharp, Azumarill, and Mega Gyarados for decent damage.
Jirachi @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Iron Head
- U-turn
- Healing Wish
- Fire Punch / Trick
Super self-explanatory. There's flexibility with the last slot though. Fire Punch seems nice for surprising Mega Scizor, but having Trick to potentially open up more setup opportunities for Mega Latias seems really nice.
Alternatively, you could also try out specially defensive Jirachi instead, since you're probably going to use Choice Scarf on another Pokemon, and you don't want too many of those. Choice Scarf Jirachi's quick Healing Wish will be missed tho.

Mega Latias is pretty cool, as it's a great wincon against types like Fire, Ground, Water, Flying, and Electric, but it struggles against Fairies, other Dragons, Bugs, Steel, and Ice-types. Naturally, Jirachi is a good fit since it covers most of those pretty well. Jirachi's quick Healing Wish is also a really nice perk since it lets Mega Latias play more freely early-game and set up on stuff like Slowbro without worrying about being permanently crippled. In return, Jirachi likes Mega Latias's ability to sweep Fire, Water, Flying, and Electric. So this seems like a decent way to start out a Mega Latias Psychic team if you ever wanted to go with that .3.
