Mega Altaria may be arguably one of the most adorable Mega Evolutions in , but it can make for a demanding boss you'll need to target its weaknesses with a strong team of counters to win. Along with a decent CP (Combat Power), this fluffy dragon also comes with a strong balance of Attack and Defense. This means this enhanced form of the Swablu evolution can give out just about as much damage as it can take, adding a bit of danger to its tank-like combat ability.

Among all of the very powerful bosses in the latest Raid boss schedule for , it can be quite common to let your guard down around an opponent that's mostly clouds. Nevertheless, Mega Altaria has a dangerously focused moveset in its arsenal that can quickly lead to your defeat if you go into the fray unprepared. Be that as it may, you and your Raid party will stand more than a chance if you each build the right team to target some, if not all, of its handful of vulnerabilities.

As a dual Dragon and Fairy type in, Mega Altaria has four weaknesses: Poison-, Ice-, Steel-, and Fairy-type attacks. This is like in the mainline games, but for, any attacks of these four types will inflict 160% damage. These may be some of the less common types that casual players may have fewer of, but there's enough that you should be able to pull together at least one full team for decent enough coverage. Any counters using moves of the same type will also earn you a 20% STAB (same-type attack bonus).

However, with that aforementioned dual typing, there are quite a few resistances too. Mega Altaria is resistant to Dragon-, Bug-, Fighting-, Fire-, Bug-, Grass-, Water-, Dark-, and Electric-type attacks. These Pokémon types only inflict 63% damage against this boss, so you'll need to be sure you don't use any of these attacks. Otherwise, you won't be able to inflict enough damage to defeat
