Altaria- Attack (Sweeper) - GingerxPug - Dec 17, 2014 Altaria- Attack (Physical-Sweeper) Stats Before Mega: 75 HP/ 70 Atk/ 90 Def/ 70 SpA/ 105 Sp./ 80 Spd Stats With Mega: 75 HP/ 110 Atk/ 110 Def/ 110 SpA/ 105 SpD/ 80 Spd Abilties: Natural Cure, Cloud Nine (HA), Pixilate (Mega) Build Altaria @ Altarianite Ability: Cloud Nine EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Dragon Dance - Return - Dragon Claw - Earthquake Good Sweeps At the time I'm making this thread, I can't pull up calculations for Mega Altaria. Luckily, I have some Pokemon Showdown videos you can look at of me sweeping teams and taking a few hits with Altaria. Enjoy! http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ou-192449644 http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ou-192451640 http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ou-192470076 http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ou-192473291 Summary As we are almost a month into ORAS (At the time this was made), Mega Altaria has become one of my favorite megas. Not only does it have great stats all around the board, it has a variety of movesets to choose from. From bulky Cotton Guard to supporting, The Physical Altaria is what I rolled with. Dragon Dance benefits the it's moves' power and ability to outspeed pokemon it could not. Earthquake provides coverage against steel and poison types, while Dragon Claw provides STAB to hit hard. Last but definitely not least, Return hits harder than Dragon Claw thanks to possible 102 power and STAB from Pixilate, making it a guaranteed move to have on a physical Altaria. Overall, this pokemon can deal with a good amount of pokemon in the OU Tier and sweep if used correctly. Of course there are problems with this pokemon, but this pokemon still makes it over the opposition. RE: Altaria- Attack (Sweeper) - Legacy - Dec 17, 2014 I would replace dragon claw with roost since its immune to dragon. Return can deal with them instead. Roost obviously to increase your life in battle RE: Altaria- Attack (Sweeper) - GingerxPug - Dec 18, 2014 Thanks for the feedback!
