Mega Altaria is the mega evolved form of Altaria, and a rarity in Pokémon Go as one of the few Mega Fairy-type Pokémon in the game.
Altaria has long been a popular Pokémon in Pokémon Go, thanks to its prowess in Go Battle League. If you’re still looking to build an Altaria to try in Great League, where it is bit of a demon, now is your chance to do so!
Like all Mega Evolutions, Mega Altaria can’t be directly caught in Pokémon Go. Instead, you need to keep defeating it in Mega Raids until you’ve collected enough Mega Altaria Energy for its temporary evolution. Thanks to the summer 2022 Mega Raid rebalance, this can now be done in one Mega Raid if you defeat it quickly enough!
Below you’ll find Mega Altaria’s counters and weaknesses to help you succeed in Pokémon Go – just remember you need to have an Altaria in your Pokémon storage to perform its Mega Evolution.

The fastest way to collect Mega Altaria energy is to defeat one in a Mega Raid. Below you’ll find the counters and weaknesses for Mega Altaria to help you achieve this:
Below you’ll find the CP levels for battling for Mega Altaria and, if defeated, catching an Altaria after the fight in Pokémon Go:
The Season of Rising Heroes is ending with the Rising Heroes event, which has brought the Master Ball and Shadow Raids to Pokémon Go. Shadow Shards and Purified Gems can make certain Shadow Raid Bosses easier.
Don’t forget to claim, or finish, the Let’s GO! quest.
As you continue your Pokémon Go adventure, make sure to battle in the new Go Battle League season. Don’t forget to take a look at the Remote Raid Passes changes or work on the Grass and Gratitude quest.
Elsewhere, be sure to use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance of encountering Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres. This incense may also give you encounters with other rare Pokémon in Pokémon Go.
Mega Altaria can use a variety of Fast and Charged moves in Pokémon Go. The best Mega Altaria moves would be the combination of Dragon Breath (Fast) and Dazzling Gleam (Charged) in raids, but if you’re going to run Altaria in Great League, you’d instead be looking at Dragon Breath (Fast), Sky Attack (Charged) and Moonblast (Legacy Charged).
Here are the Fast and Charged moves Mega Altaria can use in Pokémon Go:

The Humming Pokémon Altaria (we definitely thought it was the Cloud Pokémon, but there you go) is one of the original Dragon/Fairy-type Pokémon, hailing back to Gen 3 grassy routes around the Hoenn region. It evolves from the Cotton Bird Pokémon Swablu.
These two Pokémon have a bit of an odd design. You’d be forgiven for thinking its wings were made of cloud, but the official Pokédex refers to them as ‘cotton-like’ — that is, until it Mega Evolves… It also implies an amusing, albeit somewhat basic level of common sense/personal hygiene at the lowest evolution level.
It’s always good to see a Mega Pokémon that comes with (and shares) positive vibes! If you want a Pokémon that truly brings dreamy wonderment, however, you should seek out a shiny Mega Altaria, which has a beautiful golden sheen in place of the sky blue.
Finally, if you don’t have an Altaria registerd to your Pokédex, this is a great chance to get one, as evolving a Swablu into an Altaria in Pokémon Go requires a whopping 400 Swablu Candy.
Good luck defeating Mega Altaria in Pokémon Go!
