PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Dragon Breath
Sky Attack
Flamethrower - Ultra League:
Dragon Breath
Sky Attack
Flamethrower
🔵 Great League
Faster energy gains from Dragon Breath from the Tales of Transformation Season has made Altaria more functional in the Great League and the Shadow version is a sidegrade as it can beat some Pokémon that the regular variant can't and vice versa.
Shadow Altaria beats Empoleon, Blastoise, Shadow Dragonite, Galarian Moltres, Stunfisk, and Shadow Steelix. On the other hand, it loses Clodsire, Primeape, Morpeko, and Shadow Scizor. Overall, the extra damage output from Dragon Breath makes Shadow Altaria a bit better.
🟡 Ultra League
Shadow Altaria is no longer as good as it once was and there are way better Dragons in the Ultra League meta. Besides, it is inferior to regular Altaria, getting wins against Shadow Drapion and Registeel but still losing to Corviknight, Empoleon, Shadow Nidoqueen, and Shadow Scizor.
🟣 Master League
Shadow Altaria is not viable for the Master League.
💎 The best PvP moves for Shadow Altaria are Dragon Breath, Sky Attack and Flamethrower.
