Altaria (Japanese: チルタリス Tyltalis) is a dual-type Dragon/Flying Pokémon.
It evolves from Swablu starting at level 35.
Biology
Physiology
Altaria resembles a large blue phoenix-like Pokémon with a long neck and white cheeks. The feathers of its body make it resemble a cumulus cloud and two long blue feathers extend from the back of its head. It wraps its two cloud-like wings around its body to keep itself warm.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Altaria carries a refined set of vocal chords that allow it to sing or hum in a beautiful soprano voice that causes its listeners to experience dreamy content.
It is possible that an Altaria may carry a flame sac within its body, similar to Torchic, which it uses to launch an intense blast of fire from its mouth in self defense from attackers.
As of Generation IV, Altaria is one of three non-legendary Pokémon that can learn Sky Attack naturally, the other non-legendaries being Noctowl and Togekiss.
Behavior
In their secluded habitats, Altaria are known to sing and hum beautifully with their voices. Much of their behavior simply involves finding a draft on which to glide, high above many other Pokémon that can fly.
Habitat
Altaria seem to live in secluded areas far from human population such as mountainous regions (contrary to Swablu which live near human settlements) and even sometimes melodious singing, believed to be a singing Altaria, can be heard from far off mountains. Another example of its distance from humans is the fact that the only place where an Altaria can be caught in the wild is in the Sky Pillar. Some Altaria are shown to reside in Forina Valley, and many of them are also shown to reside within the Tree of Beginning. Both locations are also far from human population. During the winter, they migrate into caverns within mountains. They use geomagnetic waves to know where to fly.

Altaria first appeared in Jirachi: Wish Maker. It was one of the Pokémon that lived in Forina, Jirachi's home.
There were some Altaria in the flock that an injured Swablu belonged to in True Blue Swablu.
Altaria's first major role was in Sky High Gym Battle. Ash's Grovyle battled against one in Ash's gym battle against Winona, the Gym Leader of Fortree Gym.
An Altaria belonging to Drake of the Hoenn Elite Four appeared in Vanity Affair where it battled against Ash's Grovyle.
Altaria had a cameo appearance in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. It could be seen in a flock with some Swablu.
Another flock of Altaria and Swablu was seen in Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis! The Altaria's sense of direction had gone haywire, so Solana captured one of them to put them back in order.
Grandma Wilma owns an Altaria that appeared in DP156.
