Altaria's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Altaria PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Once you've painstakingly collected 400 Candy, you can evolve Swablu to the Dragon/Flying Altaria. 🐲🪽

However, Altaria is not comparable to other Dragon/Flying DPS monsters like Rayquaza, Salamence, and Dragonite because of its low attacking power. If that wasn't bad enough, Dragon Breath & Dragon Pulse are both terrible for PvP. 😭

Its Flying-type moveset, Peck & Sky Attack, are undoubtedly better than its Dragon tools, but Altaria is still not sufficient enough to warrant use in PvE. 😣

⚔️ Raids

Don't waste time on Altaria for Raids. There are so many better Dragon and Flying-type attackers to use. 😄

🛡️ Gyms

A little Ice and Altaria is gone! ❄️😵

Altaria PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Altaria has been synonymous with the Great League for years, and while it has been a bit of a downgrade with the Sky Attack nerf, it's still a solid Pokémon that's a part of core teams. 👏

Dragon Breath is a blessing, and in this platform, Altaria is arguably the best user of this move. 🐉🪽 Moreover, it has the battle chops to easily fit in teams. A classic Great League Pokémon! 🏅

🟡 Ultra League

A level 50 Altaria has a CP of 2266, making it a good pick for the Ultra League as well, although it faces competition from Dragonite, which has a better moveset overall. 🐲

Altaria is still tankier, though, so it's not entirely outclassed. 👀 However, given a choice between the two, Dragonite is superior.

🟣 Master League

Altaria doesn't fit into the Master League in any way whatsoever. Leave that to Dragonite.
