Altaria (Japanese: チルタリス Tyltalis) is a Dragon/Flying-type Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Altaria resembles a large blue phoenix with some feminine traits. The feathers of its main body make it resemble a cumulus cloud and two long blue feathers extend from the back of its head, and its two cloud-like wings aren't exactly wings but they function just the same. It can also wrap them around its body to keep itself warm.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
An Altaria carries a refined set of vocal chords that allow it to sing in a beautiful soprano voice that causes its listeners to experience dreamy content.
Its possible that an Altaria may carry a flame sac within its body, similar to Torchic, which it uses to launch intensely hot fireballs from its mouth in self defense from attackers.
As of Generation IV, Altaria is one of three non-legendary that can learn Sky Attack naturally, the other non-legenedaries being Noctowl and Togekiss.
Behavior
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.
Also during winter they migrate to caverns inside mountains*.
