Altaria (#334) is a Dragon/Flying-type Pokémon from the Hoenn region (Generation 3) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 2,293 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Altaria can be effective with the right strategy. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Altaria in 2026.
Altaria's Attack stat is 141 (Average). The lower Attack stat means Altaria may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 201 Defense (Excellent) and 181 Stamina (Excellent), the total stat product is 523. This gives Altaria reasonable durability in battle. Compared to other Dragon-type Pokémon, Altaria's stat distribution favors defense.
The best moveset for Altaria depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Peck (Fast) with Sky Attack (Charged) for maximum DPS. This takes advantage of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which provides a 20% damage boost for matching-type moves.
For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Altaria has 2 Fast Attacks and 5 Charged Attacks to choose from. Note that Altaria has Elite TM moves that may outperform standard options in certain formats.
In Great League, Altaria can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Dragon/Flying typing provides useful matchups against Grass, Ground, Fire-type threats while being weak to Ice, Dragon, Fairy types.
In Ultra League, Altaria reaches 2,004 CP at Level 40. Its bulk allows it to survive key matchups.
In Master League, Altaria faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Altaria's effectiveness depends on its typing and 141 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Altaria use Ice, Dragon-type moves.
Altaria can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Windy weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 1km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Altaria is part of a 2-stage evolution family:
Tip: For PvP, check IV spreads before evolving (low Attack, high Defense/Stamina). For raids, aim for 15/15/15 perfect IVs.
