High-firepower meta Pokémon that hit it super-effectively by type (estimated, not battle data)
Based on real ladder matchup statistics and expert community assessments (data snapshot 2026-05)
Altaria barely registers in singles (near 0% usage, unranked). Its stats are too modest to threaten in the competitive meta. Some niche uses include Cloud Nine to nullify weather or Perish Song as a phazing tool, but these are not enough to justify its slot in higher-level play.
In doubles, Altaria carves a niche as a weather-cancelling support (Cloud Nine at 99.5%), ranking 93rd at 0.55% usage. It commonly pairs with Garchomp (8.8%), Basculegion (8.4%), and Kingambit (7.8%), using Protect, Brave Bird, Will-O-Wisp, and Tailwind to support the team.
Playstyle:The standard build uses Sitrus Berry (51.1%) or Haban Berry (20%) to survive, almost exclusively with Cloud Nine (99.5%). The moveset cycles through Protect, Brave Bird, Will-O-Wisp, and Tailwind. EV spreads skew Impish (26%) for physical bulk. It functions as a Tailwind setter and physical attacker in weather-dependent team archetypes.
Usage 0.29%, ranked #129. Maintains notable presence in the current metagame.
Playstyle:Standard sets focus on roost, cottonguard, hypervoice, etc. and similar moves for versatility, holding altarianite to boost stats. pixilate ability enables effective pacing control.
Usage 0.19%, ranked #135. Maintains notable presence in the current metagame.
Playstyle:In doubles, protect, hypervoice, tailwind, etc. serve as the core offense, with altarianite for reliability. pixilate is key for team synergy.
