Strategy Overview
Since its introduction two generations ago, Altaria hasn't changed much. It pulls off both offensive and defensive roles quite effectively in UU. The key to its success lies in its access to Dragon Dance and STAB Dragon-type moves, allowing it to pose as an offensive threat despite its low Attack stat, and its defenses, which allow it to obtain multiple boosts easily. Altaria also has the Natural Cure ability along with great moves such as Heal Bell and Roost, allowing it to support its team. Overall, Altaria is a solid Pokemon in the Underused tier with multiple possibilities that should not be overlooked.
