Most of Mega Latias's flexibility comes from TMs. Same-type output runs through Draco Meteor and Outrage, but Flying and Ground and the rest of the TM pool push it from predictable to genuinely threatening.

Mega Latias Weakness
Mega Latias is weak to Ice, Bug, Ghost, Dragon, Dark, and Fairy. It resists 6 types, so it can switch into a lot of moves safely. Levitate grants an additional Ground immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. Mega Latias's special bulk (base 150 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Ice, Bug, Ghost, Dragon, Dark, Fairy |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fire, Water, Electric, Grass, Fighting, Psychic |
