Yep, bulky Latios isn't horrible or impossible, but it isn't always necessary either because of its offensive abilities. It really depends on its role on the team and the nature of the team, like anything else. If bulky Latios is something you're set on doing, you can make it work.

honestly, bulky latios is next to useless since latias can play the bulky roll ridiculously better

Not sure why you asked if you say it's useless ahaha. It's not however. If you can dump some bulk into it, it's worth it no matter how little. While I have used other builds, this is my most used latios set: 60 HP / 252 SPA / 196 SPE. It lets us to continue to outspeed things like max speed jolly garchomp while keeping our strong attacking stat. The HP is important because we get to survive choice scarf hydreigon's dark pulse/dragon pulse while giving us a chance to not be OHKO'd by scarf bulky chomp. It also takes a max spa shadow ball from focus sash gengar. Not to mention it does slide us out of some minor 2HKO situations, now making them 3HKO. Like sludge bomb mega venusar

Always add bulk when you can. 60 HP doesn't look like anything big, but it has saved me multiple games. It's not like Latios is common, so you don't need max speed timid to speed tie with other latios users when choice scarf hydreigon/bulky chomp/mega venusaur/the other uncounted choices are much more common. You could even lose some spa for more bulk if you wish, I've done it on certain teams. This is just my favorite as I said.
