Mega Altaria Weaknesses & Tips

Discover Mega Altaria's weaknesses and resistances in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Learn the best counters and strategies to defeat this powerful Dragon/Fairy-type Pokémon.

Alright, so you're looking to take down that tricky Rogue Mega Altaria in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, huh? It's a bit of a challenge, but totally doable once you know what you're up against. First things first, you'll need the Altarianite Mega Stone, and that means beating the Rogue Mega Altaria during Main Mission 28: A Rogue Mega Altaria. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it!

Mega Altaria is a Dragon/Fairy-type Pokémon. This typing is super important because it means it's weak against Poison, Steel, Ice, and even other Fairy-type attacks. Now, normally, Fairy types are great against Dragons, but this Mega Altaria is actually immune to Dragon-type moves, so steer clear of those! On the flip side, it's pretty tough against Fighting, Bug, Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, and Dark-type moves, making it a real defensive powerhouse.

If you're wondering what Pokémon can really put a dent in it, here are a few solid choices that tend to work well:

• Mawile
• Gardevoir
• Klefki
• Sylveon

These Pokémon often have a good mix of Fairy and Steel typing, which is fantastic. But honestly, any Pokémon you've trained up with those types and the right movesets should give you a good shot.

Once you manage to defeat the Rogue Mega Altaria, you'll snag the Altarianite Mega Stone. This is awesome because you can then use it to Mega Evolve your own Altaria in battles. When your Altaria Mega Evolves, it actually changes its typing from Flying/Dragon to Dragon/Fairy, losing its Flying type. It's a pretty sweet deal!

Mega Altaria's stats are pretty balanced, leaning towards being a strong special attacker that can also take a hit. Here's a look at its base stats:

With these stats, Mega Altaria is a great all-rounder. Its Dragon/Fairy typing is really useful, especially if you ever need to take down another Dragon-type Pokémon. Keep it in your back pocket as a powerful Mega Evolution option!
