Starting on May 15, 2021, Mega Altaria appeared in Pokemon GO! This Pokemon can appear as a SHINY Pokemon on its catch screen – but you have to get there with a raid win first! To do this, you’re going to want to know some details about Altaria and how it can be defeated in battle. If you’re heading in to a Raid Battle with Mega Altaria, you can’t do it alone!
A Mega Raid with Altaria will include a monster with either Dragon Breath or Peck for its fast move. Good luck getting out of the way of either one! Charged move possibilities include Dragon Pulse, Dazzling Gleam, and Sky Attack. You might be fighting an all-Dragon moves Pokemon here – or all Sky type moves!
