PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Dragon Breath is the top choice for a Fast Move. 
  • Peck is outright inferior.
  • Dazzling Gleam provides the top Charged Move damage in Dragon Type raids, with Dragon Pulse coming in second.
  • Moonblast is the inferior choice.
  • Sky Attack is a great attack, but not a great choice for Mega Altaria.

PVE Overview

Mega Altaria is an odd Pokemon. It's currently the only Dragon Type Pokemon in the entire game that resists Dragon Type attacks. It's undeniably weak when compared to many other Dragon Type Mega Evolutions, but its unique resistance profile and solid bulk actually gives it a unique niche as a supportive Pokemon; a term very unfrequently used in raids. Because of how long it can stay on the field, Mega Altaria can actually out-perform even the Legendary Mega Rayquaza in select raids and under select circumstances. It's not an absolute top choice that should always be used, but its potential should not be ignored.
