Dazzling Gleam
Mega Altaria is a Dragon/Fairy-type Pokémon that doesn't have enough damage output to give itself a spot in the Dragon or Fairy meta. With low output, even its TDO falls short or being worthy. However, it does have a certain trick up its sleeve that makes it quite viable against Dragon-type Raid Bosses, although as a support Pokémon.
🐲 Dragon type
Mega Altaria’s DPS against Dragon Raid Bosses may be lacking but being a Dragon/Fairy-type Pokémon, it is the only Dragon in the game to resist Dragon-type moves.
As such, it is able to provide the Mega boosts longer than even Mega Rayquaza and Mega Garchomp. Mega Altaria can take on Dragon moves head on and provide a huge power boost to all Dragon and Fairy type teammates, resulting in quicker wins.
So, a large Raid group against a Dragon Boss, consisting of Mega Rayquaza, Eternatus, Mega Garchomp, Mega Gardevoir, and Zacian Crowned is tremendously benefitted by having Mega Altaria in their midst.
🧚♀️ Fairy type
This is just an extension of its Dragon Mega Boost role. Mega Altaria doesn't have the attacking prowess to deal too much DPS whether as a Dragon or as a Fairy. Its only advantage is helping top Fairy-type attackers take down Dragon and Fighting type Bosses with utmost effectiveness.
⭐ Perks
The Dragon-type resistance and boosting both Dragon and Fairy type damage against Dragon Raid Bosses is actually quite impactful. This is great against Bosses in 5-Star, Mega, and Shadow Raids.
PvP Analysis
Mega Evolutions can't be used in the GO Battle League, but when the Master League: Mega Edition pops up, some of them become formidable combatants. Mega Altaria, sadly, is terrible 😐.
🔵 Great League - Not eligible.
🟡 Ultra League - Not eligible.
🟣 Master League - If and when the Mega Edition arrives, don't waste your Mega slot on this fluffy cloud bird 😬.
