[SET COMMENTS]
Mega Altaria's unique typing and offensive potential allow it to serve as a valuable setup sweeper that checks threats like Kommo-o, Roaring Moon, Iron Hands, and Keldeo. Pixilate-boosted Return checks the aforementioned Dragon-types as well as Fighting- and Dark-types such as Terrakion, Mega Sableye, and Mandibuzz. Earthquake is essential coverage, as it hits Steel- and Fire-types like Heatran and Magnezone and —in conjunction with Return —eases the Dark and Electric matchups. Roost increases Mega Altaria's longevity so it can continuously Dragon Dance throughout the match or use its bulk to switch into threats. The given EV spread allows Mega Altaria to survive Mega Lopunny's Triple Axel. Choice Specs Kyurem is a great teammate, as it breaks past the likes of Toxapex, Corviknight, and Dondozo for Mega Altaria. Garchomp sets up Stealth Rock and Spikes, wearing down Mega Altaria's switch-ins. Kommo-o breaks past Steel-types like Skarmory, Aegislash, and defensive Celesteela as well as other troublesome walls like Toxapex and Hippowdon for Mega Altaria. Roaring Moon threatens obstacles such as Mega Diancie, Choice Specs Greninja, and Skeledirge.

[SET COMMENTS]
Mega Altaria's unique typing and offensive potential allows it to serve as an impeccable wallbreaker, a valuable setup sweeper that is able to threatening out opposing Dragon-types like Kommo-o, Walking Wake, and Roaring Moon. Pixilate-boosted Return in conjunction with Pixilate lets Mega Altaria check the aforementioned Dragon-types as well as Fighting- and Dark-types such as Terrakion, Mega Sableye, and Hydreigon. Earthquake is essential coverage as it hits Steel- and Fire-types like Heatran, Gholdengo, and Victini which wall Mega Altaria otherwise (mention how Earthquake + Return help Dragon teams cruise the Psychic and Electric matchups). Dragon Dance boosts Mega Altaria's mediocre Speed and enhances it as a wallbreaker, moreover, (default move, no need to describe) Roost increases Mega Altaria's longevity so it can continuously Dragon Dance throughout the match or use its defensive properties to switch into threats. Choice Specs Kyurem is a great teammate as it breaks past the likes of Unaware Clodsire, Corviknight, and Dondozo for Mega Altaria. Garchomp sets up entry hazards in the form of Stealth Rock and Spikes, wearing down Mega Altaria's switch ins. (mention Kommo-o before Hydrei, as a partner that is able to stallbreak certain walls with Taunt and beat most Steel-types). Similarly, (a conjunction example if you mention kommo-o beating steel types last) Hydreigon is appreciated due to it's ability to punish Steel-types like Celesteela and Ferrothorn with Substitute, using them as setup fodder or outright eliminating them for Mega Altaria.

Mega Altaria's unique typing and offensive potential allows it to serve as a valuable setup sweeper that is able to threaten opposing Dragon-types like Kommo-o, Walking Wake, and Roaring Moon (I think the focus shouldnt strictly be dragon, as its still a great, come from behind sweeper in matchups like Elec, Dark, and Water [if Pex is killed] too. Remove Walky Wake to fit in other mons). Pixilate-boosted Return lets Mega Altaria check the aforementioned Dragon-types as well as Fighting- and Dark-types such as Terrakion, Mega Sableye, and Hydreigon (Dragon has no trouble with Hydrei). Earthquake is essential coverage as it hits Steel- and Fire-types like Heatran, Magnezone, and Victini (Victini also isnt much of an issue, the problem with Psychic is usually lele, and lele you do not outspeed at +1) and, in conjunction with Return, eases the Psychic Dark and Electric matchups. Roost increases Mega Altaria's longevity so it can continuously Dragon Dance throughout the match or use its defensive properties to switch into threats.(Mention ev spread) Choice Specs Kyurem is a great teammate as it breaks past the likes of Unaware Clodsire (252 Atk Altaria-Mega Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Clodsire: 292-344 (62.9 - 74.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Black Sludge recovery)Toxapex , Corviknight, and Dondozo for Mega Altaria. Garchomp sets up Stealth Rock and Spikes, wearing down Mega Altaria's switch ins. Kommo-o breaks past Steel-types like Skarmory, Aegislash, and defensive Celesteela as well as other troublesome walls like Toxapex and Hippowdon for Mega Altaria. Similarly, Hydreigon is appreciated due to it's ability to punish Steel-types like Celesteela and Ferrothorn with Substitute, using them as setup fodder or outright eliminating them for Mega Altaria. (Dont use Hydrei, Scarf RM is great for dealing with threats that will not let it setup, such as M.Dia and Specs Gren, while also dealing with Skeledirge sort of. Hydrei is usually on teams that aren't Z kommo-o, and those situations where you no want Z-komm are too rare to be mentioned.)
