AltariaPlatinum #18 Pokémon Card

Altaria, the Humming Pokémon, is a dual-type Dragon/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It is the evolved form of Swablu, a small bird-like Pokémon. Altaria is renowned for its elegant, cloud-like wings and its melodic singing voice, capable of mesmerizing listeners. In the wild, Altaria are often found in mountainous regions, soaring gracefully through the skies, blending seamlessly with the clouds. Their diet primarily consists of berries and nectar, which they gather from high-altitude flora. They are generally gentle and serene creatures, known for their protective nature, especially towards their young. In the Pokémon games, Altaria is a popular choice for trainers due to its unique type combination, offering resistances to many common types and access to a diverse movepool. Its Mega Evolution further enhances its abilities, transforming it into a Dragon/Fairy type. In the anime, Altaria has appeared in various episodes, often depicted as a symbol of beauty and grace, and its singing has been a recurring theme, sometimes even having a calming effect on other Pokémon or people. Its design, reminiscent of a mythical bird, has made it a fan favorite, embodying the ethereal beauty often associated with Dragon-type Pokémon.
