Editor analysis

Moonblast and Sky Attack are now interchangeable, making Altaria more flexible than ever. Fairy + Fire coverage provides more super effective targets, including the mirror. Against Fire and Water types that resist both, Altaria can usually muscle through those matchups with its superior bulk. Altaria is still vulnerable to Ice, and its pacing a bit on the slower side.
