Strategy & play
How Altaria ex δ plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Not a main attacker — its job is Ability-based draw/search. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
- Needs Water Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Water type, weak to Colorless ×2 — a Colorless attacker doing ≥50 effectively one-shots it.
- A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
- A Stage 1 — one step up from Swablu; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.
How to beat Altaria ex δ
- Exploit its Colorless weakness — ≥50 damage one-shots it.
- KO it to choke their draw / search engine.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.
