In order to get EVs, you need the Latias to gain XP from defeating Pokemon with certain EV yields. Each Pokemon has a different EV yield, usually reflecting its highest stats. There are different areas that yield Pokemon with the same EV yield. However, some Pokemon, such as Tauros, may give EVs in different stats, such as Tauros yielding 1 Attack and 1 Speed EV.

Latias is a bulky Pokemon with great STAB combinations and useful utility in the form of Calm Mind and Recover. I recommend either a tanky Latias with EVs in HP and Special Defense or Defense or a fast hard-hitting Latias with EVs in Special Attack and Speed. Some moves to consider are the aforementioned Calm Mind and Recover and moves like Draco Meteor and Psychic.
