>>20524235People shouting "Dragon slayer" are overstating it, but just because Altaria isn't a Mawile or Pinsir powered nuke doesn't mean it's ineffective. Even with it's offensive stats falling between 100 and 120 as the probably will, combined with slight buffs to it's already respectable defense and excellent new type/ability, it's got the makings of a great tank. Boosting with Dragon Dance or Agility, Roosting, and attacking with high-powered Pixilate STABs is a great strategy. Never underestimate bulky offense. That's to say nothing of it's vast support movepool as well.
