Altaria (Japanese: チルタリス Tyltalis) is a Dragon/Flying-type Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
An Altaria carries a refined set of vocal chords that allow it to sing in a beautiful soprano voice that causes its listeners to experience dreamy content.
Its possible that an Altaria may carrie a flame sac within its body, similar to Torchic, which it uses to launch intensely hot fireballs from its mouth in self defense from attackers.
Behavior
Habitat
Altaria seem to live in secluded areas far from human population such as mountainous regions and even sometimes melodious singing (believed to be a singing Altaria) can be heard from far off mountains, another example of its distance from humans is the fact that the only place where an Altaria can be caught in the wild is in the Sky Pillar. In the films of the anime continuity Altaria are shown to reside in Forina valley, and many of them are also shown to reside within the Tree of Beginning (both locations are also far from human population), and in the 9th movie Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea they are shown to migrate into caves of more mountainous regions during heavy snowstorms.
