scarftar was 2HKO'd by surf on specs latias while latias is not OHKO'd by a non-switch Pursuit
same thing with scizor

so, there really weren't any hard counters

Latias always annoyed me anyways, so I don't mind. xD

I do agree that it prolly' won't stay in ubers for that long, though.

Unless you weren't locked into Surf, and instead, say, any move BUT Surf.
Factoring in how common specs is and the common-ness of Surf, and the chance they'll actually SELECT surf...

There's like a 3% chance ScarfTar isn't a reliable Latias counter.

That's small enough of a percentile to say that ScarfTar hard countered Latias reliably.

In the Air, Using Up b as an offensive move
Trick doesnt stop Blissey from 100% beating Latias lol. It can throw out as many Draco Meteors as it wants, Blissey still comes in with impunity. Even more, a non-boosted Latias is alot less threatening to everything in general.

blissey needs seimic toss or toxic to beat latias, outside of that, she can't beat latias

if it's tricklatias, blissey pretty much loses without having seismic toss

oh, and latias learns roost
