Pokédex entries

Pokémon Ruby

Altaria dances and wheels through the sky among billowing, cotton-like clouds. By singing melodies in its crystal-clear voice, this Pokémon makes its listeners experience dreamy wonderment.

Pokémon Sapphire

Altaria sings in a gorgeous soprano. Its wings are like cotton clouds. This Pokémon catches updrafts with its buoyant wings and soars way up into the wild blue yonder.

Pokémon Emerald

It hums in a beautiful soprano voice. It flies among white clouds in the blue sky. It launches intensely hot fireballs from its mouth.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

If you hear a beautiful melody trilling deep among mountains far from people, it is Altaria's humming.

Name origin

Altaria's name is a combination of the words alto, Italian for high, and aria, Italian for air, which both refer to this Pokémon's behavior of singing wonderful melodies. Its Japanese name may refer to Tyl, also known as Epsilon Draconis, a star in the Draco constellation.

Altaria is based on a bird of some variety.
