Pokemon Go Mega Altaria Raid Counters
Dragon and Fairy types don’t come together very often, and Mega Altaria is the only Pokemon in Pokemon Go that has this combination. When this Pokemon is captured in Pokemon Go, though, it is in its standard Dragon and Flying-type form. Trainers must Mega Evolve their Pokémon to obtain the Dragon and Fairy types.
The good news is that after the recent patch, Mega Evolving is simpler than ever. Trainers will need a large number of Poison, Steel, or Ice types to rapidly beat Mega Altaria in Mega Raids. You should remember that Mega Altaria is especially vulnerable to attacks of these three classes, as well as Fairy techniques.
Poison-type Megas like Mega Gengar and Mega Beedrill are effective choices for battle. Although Gengar lacks a Poison-type Fast Attack, it makes up for this by having access to Sludge Bomb and the ability to boost the power of Poison techniques used by other Pokemon in the team. Although there aren’t many other Poison possibilities, Drapion and Dragalge make good partners for these two.
If you’re looking for an Ice-type Pokemon that can help your team’s Ice attacks, Mega Abomasnow is your best bet. If you’re looking for a partner for your Abomasnow, some good options are Galarian Darmanitan and Mamoswine.

Metagross, Dialga, and Excadrill are all good choices for trainers who want to employ Steel types, and while Fairy types are scarce, Togekiss and Gardevoir are excellent options.

Pokemon Go Mega Altaria Movesets
Even while Mega Altaria’s move set isn’t particularly extensive, it nonetheless poses a threat to your tactics.
Despite only knowing Peck and Sky Attack, both Ground and Flying moves, Mega Pokemon like Mega Beedrill and Mega Abomasnow will take serious damage from this Pokemon.
Mega Altaria has access to Dragon-type attacks like Dragon Breath and Dragon Pulse, which deliver neutral damage against most of the aforementioned defences. Keep that in mind when building your team, but remember that Steel and Fairy kinds are immune to these assaults.
Dazzling Gleam, Mega Altaria’s sole Fairy-type attack, is immune to all Steel-type techniques (apart from Dialga’s). Steel-types like Metagross and Excadrill are thus useful choices.
These are all of Mega Altaria’s moves in Pokemon Go.
| Fast Attack | Charged Attack |
|---|---|
| Peck | Sky Attack |
| Dragon Breath | Dazzling Gleam |
| Dragon Pulse |
