Why the fuck was this thing OU in gen 5?

Slap some specs on it and hit and run. It devastates everything that isn't Blissey and outspeeds nearly the entire metagame and has a STAB move that destroys Blissey, too.

Shit was ridiculous and insane.

Eh, Kyu-B was worse and still is. Latios at least was stopped cold by T-Tar.

it can't switch in on Bug Buzz or Quiver Dance without having its shit slapped. Thusly Volcarona would slap its shit.

What? You can make the argument every pokemon is unswitchable after boosting. Pretty retarded.

You can easily switch in on a fiery dance and end that dumbass moth running, provided it didn't dance.

There were no Pokemon in OU in Gen 5 that used Sucker Punch. Gengar, Rotom-W, Latias, Celebi, and Sableye all technically got it, but it wouldn't be a smart choice to use it on any of them.

That being said, Politoed and Ninetales deserved bans much more than Latios did in Gen 5.

Toxicroak is decent with it, especially if it had a chance to build sword dance or set up a substitute.

Weak to pursuit so any team with ttar or scizor were guaranteed kills after 1 draco meteor nuke.

Can't do anything to ferrothorn besides trick or hp fire. And both of them require prediction.

-2 DM is setup bait for a lot of stuff. Volcarona and multiscale dragonite for example.

What this anon said. If Latios does one wrong move it gets pursuit trapped by Ttar or Scizor. Even if it doesn't pursuit trap, Scizor can U-turn, either gaining momentum or flat out killing Latios.
The OU viability ranking thread for gen 5 ranked Latios A+, which means that it can "sweep or wall significant portions of the metagame, but require some support or [has] some flaws that prevent [it] from doing this consistently", with the pursuit weakness being that flaw.
