Latios moveset
 
Ok I have a Brave Latios (+atk, -spd). I know the nature isn't the best one though... But I can deal with it. What would be a good EV spread and moveset for a special tank/sweeper Latios? I wish I had that one item that ups the special attack and defence by 50% but I don't.

Well, that's a toughie. If you want to use it competitively, I wish you the best of luck...

[email protected] Dew (or lefties since you can't get that)
Brave...kinda bad nature...attack isn't needed on it
EVs: 252 Special attack, 240 HP, 18 SpD random EV spread really...
~Calm mind
~thunderbolt
~ice beam
~recover

that's all I got.

Without a nature that has a bad positive effect and a bad negative effect and no Soul Dew, Latios is really not that great a Pokemon.

Since this Latios isn't so good I'm going to assume that its not facing Ubers, and as such STAB Dragon Pulse is probably better than BoltBeam. The last move can be Thunderbolt or Surf in the last spot, to guarantee neutrality against Steel types.

Or alternatively you could do something totally unexpected and go with a Dragon Dance set. That said even with Brave it'll probably not outperform the special set, but when you have a Pokemon like this you might as well much around.

i suggest having thunderbolt as one of the moves
a lot of ice move users are water type pokemon.. so they think they'll kill you in one hit, then you hit em first with an electric move

Though Luster Purge is a Psychic type with bad coverage, it can be very useful when it has 50% Lowering Special Defense.
