Altaria, the Humming Pokémon, is a Dragon/Flying type introduced in Generation III. It is the evolved form of Swablu. Known for its elegant appearance and melodic humming, Altaria is often depicted soaring gracefully through the skies, its cloud-like wings making it seem like a part of the heavens. In the Pokémon world, Altaria is cherished for its gentle nature and its ability to calm others with its beautiful singing. Its diet is believed to consist of berries and nectar, found high in mountainous regions where it builds its nests. In the games, Altaria is notable for its Mega Evolution, which further enhances its Special Attack and gains the Pixilate ability, turning Normal-type moves into Fairy-type and boosting their power. In the anime, Altaria has appeared in various episodes, often portrayed as a serene and powerful Pokémon. Its unique type combination gives it interesting matchups, being weak to Ice, Rock, Dragon, and Fairy, but resisting Fighting, Water, Grass, and Bug, and being immune to Ground. Altaria's design, reminiscent of a swan with clouds for wings, contributes to its cultural significance as a symbol of beauty and tranquility within the Pokémon universe.
