I know Dragonite does it better (at least higher base SpA) to use Mist / Draco Meteor, Altaria is the only other one who can learn that combo.
Does that say anything against the tactic? Its a powerful dragon move that can come with no penalties when used with mist.
Altaria even receives Cloud Nine from the Dream World, which works quite nicely with sandstorm teams thanks to its resistance to Water- and Ground-type moves.
