Altaria (Analysis)

[Diana]

That's a really good check, updated. I still need one more GP stamp though.

Stamping NixHex's check

It counts now :)

 

[Diana]

Okay then this is done, thanks!

Shouldn't Haze get a more important mention? At least a slash in the support set. Now that Baton Pass teams are considered to be broken by some players and Altaria learns Haze which isn't stopped by Espeon and Xatu, Haze should really get a slash at least.

That sounds nice but you probably want to mention that in this thread since this is already well past Quality Control. If they agree with the change though I'd be fine with changing it.

 

[Oglemi]

Please erase all mentions of Espeon, Staraptor, and Wobbuffet if you have not done so already

I know Dragonite does it better (at least higher base SpA) to use Mist / Draco Meteor, Altaria is the only other one who can learn that combo.

Dragonite doesn't exist in UU.

Does that say anything against the tactic? Its a powerful dragon move that can come with no penalties when used with mist.

Altaria even receives Cloud Nine from the Dream World, which works quite nicely with sandstorm teams thanks to its resistance to Water- and Ground-type moves.

This sentence made no sense to me. Even though it's not a Pokemon that benefits from Sand...you still want Sand up for the passive damage against your opponent, right? Even if I was using it with Sand, I'd still prefer Natural Cure. You could separate Cloud Nine and its beneficial typing for Sand teams?

Id use Cloud Nine on a drought team since fire and grass types have soo many weaknesses. As a weather checker it'd need a good water or grass special attack, and a physical grass or electric type for drizzletoad

Still not OU. This is an UU analysis.
