Strategy Overview

Natural Cure Rest is just awesome, and Altaria is the only thing that really gets to pull it off, since all other Pokemon with Natural Cure, even Corsola and Roselia, have Recover or some sort of recovery move. Thanks to Natural Cure, when Altaria uses Rest, it instantly wakes up after switching out. Its defensive stats are great, and it has the support moves to use them. That's why a set with more of a stalling mentality is recommended. However, the Dragon Dance set with Sing can really surprise people when you put their counter to sleep.
