>>21385530Angry Cloud (Altaria) @ Altarite
Ability: Cloud Nine
EVs: 248 HP / 196 Def / 48 SpD / 16 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Roost
- Hyper Voice
- Draco Meteor
- Perish Song
Roost and Hyper Voice self explanatory
Cloud Nine allows it to check Y-zard in its unevolved form, though it can't do much back
16 Spe allows it to outspeed neutral 252 Azu
48 SDef EVs required to avoid 2HKO from uninvested M-Slowbro Ice Beam
Draco Meteor is required to OHKO X-zard
Perish Song to handle CroCune and CroBro. Heal Bell, Toxic, Haze, Roar, Cotton Guard, Dragon Dance, Body Slam, Flamethrower, and
Facade are also decent options.
Good teammates:
-Jirachi: resists all of its weaknesses and Altaria resists Dark and Fire. It also checks Mega Gardevoir who's a pretty big threat to non-DD Altaria. SubToxic Jirachi (this is a set devised by the devil by the way) also helps against Y-zard cause Altaria can't actually do much back to Y-zard but it can Toxic stall. Rachi is probably its best possible teammate, not a lot can break these two besides dedicated wallbreakers, Gengar and Scizor (but you can run Fire Punch on Rachi.)
-Starmie: spins, which is good, cause Altaria is rock weak before m-evo. Natural Cure allows it to absorb status so it's good for Altaria not running heal bell. Starm resists ice n steel and Altaria resists Grass/Elec/Dark. Bulky Reflect Type is pretty cool and handles Ferrothorn who is a pain in general.
-Ferrothorn: Alt pairs pretty well with most bulk steels and Ferro is a really good bulky steel. Leech Seed is a great move and helps Altaria switch in to things (I really wish it was a bit bulkier cause a lot of things I want it to check are only coming just short of 2HKOing and it would be nice if it could check Cham n Hera but it's not very good at that.)
So yeah Mega Altaria is freaking good and I know some people on /vp/ thing it'll be lik RU or some shit but they're dumb as bricks.
