    Which Pokémon do you think is better for competitive battling and why?

    I think Latios is better because it has a higher Sp. Atk base stat than Latias, which makes it an immediate threat (doesn't need to setup), especially when it is paired with a life orb or choice specs. The best set for Latias is a calm mind set, as Latias can utilize her better defenses; however, set up sweeping can be countered in this metagame by the many phazers and sp. def/def walls that have grown in number since Gen 4. Because (in my opinion) Latios is more practical as an offensive sweeper, it is a better threat, and therefore the better Pokémon for competitive battling.

    Unfortunately latios... although I like latias a ton more. He's so much more awesomely and cool, especially shiny.

    I say Latios. He seems to be more offensive of the two, while Latias seems to have a better defensive build to her.

    I think I like Latios' design more, but I like Latias' Pokédex entries better.
