How to Get Mega Altaria in Pokemon Legends: Z-A

Defeat Rogue Mega Altaria

Beat Rogue Pokemon for their Mega Stone

You can acquire the Altarianite by defeating a Rogue Mega Altaria.

Rogue Mega Pokemon are wild Pokemon that Mega Evolve without a trainer and are much stronger than regular Wild Pokemon. However, you do not have to face them alone as you will often be accompanied by an ally from Team MZ when taking them down.

Mega Altaria Best Nature and Moveset for Story

Adamant or Modest

Nature Stat Changes
Adamant ↑ Attack, ↓ SpAtk
Modest ↑ SpAtk, ↓ Attack

Since Altaria can work as either a Physical or Special Attacker, its Best Nature is either Adamant or Modest, depending on how you plan to build its EVs and Moves.

Give Altaria Adamant if you want to use it as a Physical Attacker, and Modest if you want to build it as a Special Attacker instead.

Alternative Natures

Nature Stat Changes
Brave ↑ Attack, ↓ Speed
Quiet ↑ SpAtk, ↓ Speed

You can also give Altaria either Brave or Quiet nature, allowing you to use both of its Physical and Special moves without much downside.

Keep in mind that giving Altaria any of the above two natures will increase the cooldown of moves, potentially making it less ideal for Competitive Play and harder post-game content.

Use Mints to Change Natures

Mint Usage

If your Altaria has a different Nature than the ones we recommend above, you can use a Mint to change its Nature.
Mints Locations and How to Change Nature

Best Altaria Moveset for the Story

Move Type Cooldown
Moonblast Pokemon Fairy Type Icon 8
Dragon Pulse Pokemon Dragon Type Icon 8
Brave Bird Pokemon Flying Type Icon 10
Dragon Rush Pokemon Dragon Type Icon 12

We recommend the moves Dragon Rush, Brave Bird, Moonblast, and Dragon Pulse when using Altaria during the main story.
