– Protect / Roost Damage Benchmarks: +2 92 Atk Altaria Max Airstream (140 BP) vs. – Fly / Sky Attack / Hurricane / Fire Blast – Dragon Claw / Earthquake / Draco Meteor / Fire Blast Roost provides some much needed recovery, while reducing its vulnerability to Rock Type and Ice Type moves. The set is usually rounded out by Perish Song and either Protect or Roost. Heat Wave, on the other hand, helps improve the team’s match up against Steel Type foes, most notably Kartana, while maintaining coverage against Grass Type adversaries. However, Fly can serve as a good alternative to help burn through Perish Song turns, thanks to the move’s mechanics. Pluck takes top spot in Altaria’s Flying Type STAB, since it quickly eliminates the foes’ held Berry. Players would then have to determine what is more important for the team. This would then improve the viability of Haze, which is great at quickly eliminating the foes’ stat boosts.Īltaria’s best Flying Type STAB options are Physical in nature, but its best coverage moves tend to fall in the Special spectrum. Players who rather block Sleep Powder, Spore, and Rage Powder would find it better to run Safety Goggles. This, when used in tandem with Cotton Guard, makes Altaria very hard to eliminate outside of Critical Hits. +3 252 HP / 148+ Def Altaria through Reflect: 152-181 (83.5 – 99.4%) - guaranteed 2HKOĪ straightforward defensive Altaria set that makes use of the Misty Seed to buff its Special Defense. +3 252 HP / 20 Def Altaria through Reflect: 152-179 (83.5 – 98.3%) - guaranteed 2HKO +2 252+ Atk Metagross Max Hailstorm vs. +3 252 HP / 0 Def Altaria through Reflect: 99-117 (54.3 – 64.2%) - guaranteed 2HKO 252+ Atk Glastrier Max Hailstorm vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Assault Vest Kartana: 136-160 (101.4 – 119.4%) - guaranteed OHKO Defensive Benchmarks: 252+ Atk Metagross Max Hailstorm vs. – Protect / Roost Damage Benchmarks: 44 SpA Altaria Heat Wave vs. It also retains access to Perish Song, which is itself a reliable win condition.Īs such, it would be better for players to assign Altaria strictly to defensive duties and arm it with a set that best fit the team’s needs. As it is naturally faster than Metagross, it can be a makeshift disruptor through Haze or Cotton Guard. Altaria is also built a lot more defensively than a typical Dragon Type Pokemon. The revamp of Move Tutors has removed Tailwind off the move set of quite a few Pokemon. That said, Altaria still offers some valuable niches in Generation VIII. Alas, Game Freak saw fit to only introduce it in the Crown Tundra DLC, which saw many metagame staples make their long awaited return to VGC.
It neuters Sun cores efficiently through Cloud Nine, and to a lesser extent Sand cores too. It launches intensely hot fireballs from its mouth.”Īltaria would probably have fared better had it been released in the main Galar Dex. It flies among white clouds in the blue sky.
