While salamence is versatile in being either a physical sweeper, special sweeper or mixed sweeper, one nature it really does not need is a speed decreasing nature or else it'll easily get OHKO by the likes of weavile or garchomp. For a physical sweeper, go with adamant and either breed for dragon dance or use the choice band to immediate increase its attack power. The special version can learn draco meteor but would prefer using it with the choice spec item


Garchomp
Nature: Naive
Item: None
EV's: Unknown
Attacks: Crunch, Earthquake, Dragon Rush, Dragon Claw
rating: 2.5/5
having a speed enhanced nature helps with garchomp so to outspeed the likes of certain other foes, but I would go with jolly. It can also learn swords dance to increase its attack power, and sand veil makes it useful for a sandstorm team.


Metagross
Nature: Calm
Item: None
EV's: Unknown
Attacks: Earthquake, Zen Headbutt, Psychic, Meteor Mash
rating: 2/5
Good idea to go with STAB moves but overall I would go with an adamant nature to increase its attack stat to the max which is far better than its special attack ability. It can also learn agility to boost its speed and can learn the mighty powerful explosion when desperate.

Heatran
Nature: Lax
Item: Charcoal
EV's: Unknown
Attacks: Flash Cannon, Sunny Day, Flamethrower, Solarbeam
rating: 2.5/5
desired nature should be modest or if you want to teach it explosion go with mild or rash. Again good idea to go with STAB but nature needs to improve on its special attacking stat.

Tyranitar
Nature: Naughty
Item: None
EV's: Unknown
Attacks: Earthquake, Crunch, Stone Edge, Dragon Claw
rating: 3/5
attack nature and physical moves are great though I would prefer adamant and it can also learn dragon dance as an egg move if you breed with a male charmander at least.

Latias
Nature: Modest
Item: Soul Dew
EV's: 255 Sp. Att. Rest is unknown.
Attacks: Dragon Pulse, Psychic, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam
rating: 4/5
I know it's hard to soft-reset for a decent lati@s though I'd give it a higher rating if I knew what its IVs were. Modest is the desired nature of course.

I'll rate some of the others when I have more time. I usually refer to Smogon's D/P analysis forum section at smogon.com for further in-depth ideas.

Edit: was going to rate the next post but don't want to be posting more than one rate per reply nor double-post. If these were posted on smogon they'd be ripped apart, though my method is to try to point out why it may not work.
