What Mega Altaria’s Weaknesses and Counters Are in Pokemon GO

Mega Altaria is one of many fan-favorite Mega Evolutons, turning everyone’s beloved fluffy cloud bird into an even fluffier, cloudier bird friend. However, while Mega Altaria may be all cute and cuddly on the surface, this ‘Mon is actually capable of packing quite a punch in battle, especially due to the inflated CP of Raid Pokemon. Thankfully, Mega Altaria also has a few key glaring weaknesses that make it pretty easy to counter if you have the right picks in play.

Mega Altaria is weak to Fairy, Ice, Poison, and Steel type Pokemon, with each of these move Typings dealing super effective damage on a successful impact. To ensure your matchups against this Raid boss go as smoothly as possible, you’ll want to ensure you have selected Pokemon focused around these Typings, with any possible combinations of the two through either Moves learnt or Dual-Typing being very solid picks to find success.
