what is altaria weak against
Altaria is weak to Ice, Rock, Dragon, and Fairy type moves, with Ice being a 4× weakness because of its Dragon/Flying typing.
Type overview
Altaria is a Dragon/Flying-type Pokémon, which gives it:
- 4× weakness to Ice
- 2× weakness to Rock
- 2× weakness to Dragon
- 2× weakness to Fairy
Because Ice hits both Dragon and Flying for super-effective damage, strong Ice moves are usually the most dangerous thing Altaria can face.
Practical battle tips
When planning to fight Altaria, good counters usually include:
- Bulky Ice-types or anything with Ice Beam, Avalanche, or similar Ice attacks
- Strong Fairy-types using Charm, Moonblast, or Dazzling Gleam
- Rock- and Dragon-type attackers that can outspeed or hit it before it sets up
In many formats, players specifically pack at least one Ice or Fairy answer because Altaria is so common and its weaknesses are very exploitable.
