Pokédex Information
According to the Pokédex, "Altaria sings in a gorgeous soprano. Its wings are like cotton clouds. This Pokémon catches updrafts with its buoyant wings and soars way up into the wild blue yonder."
Winona, the leader of Fortree Gym, uses a Level 33 female Altaria that knows the moves Aerial Ace, Dragonbreath, Dragon Dance, and Earthquake. Altaria is also trained by Bird Keepers and Dragon Trainers, as well as the Elite Four challenger Drake. It can learn any move that Swablu can, as well as Dragonbreath and Dragon Dance. It is the only non-legendary that learns Sky Attack naturally.
Name Origin
Altaria's name may have been derived from "altitude" or "alto", and "aria," which means "a beautiful melody."
