Altaria first appeared in the Ruby & Sapphire arc where Flannery and Winona rode it in search of Norman. After finding Norman, Altaria departed with the three Gym Leaders. It was later seen with Winona while waiting for the Hoenn Gym Leaders (save for Flannery who already made the call and Tate and Liza who are unable to make it).
After Sapphire arrived in Fortree City, Altaria battled her Combusken. During Combusken's evolution into Blaziken, Altaria was hit by Chic's Blaze Kick. The impact gave Altaria a chance to recover while hiding in the sky. Altaria came down with Sky Attack and defeated Chic. After the battle, Altaria trained Chic to get stronger and Winona pointed out to Sapphire about her attacks. Altaria flew away with Winona when Winona got a call from someone.
Later, Altaria flew around in Hoenn with Winona and Sapphire on her Troppy, witnessing a drought and heavy rain. They stopped by Route 123. Winona and Altaria separated from Sapphire and Troppy, and then flew to where the SSS was. Altaria entered by firing a DragonBreath at Shelly and Matt and then fought them alongside her Skarmory. When Wattson was defeated, Altaria attempted to dive after Wattson to save him but Matt prevented Altaria from listening to Winona by having his Sharpedo use Taunt.
Altaria flew to the Pokémon Association’s headquarters and dropped off Flannery and Wattson to rest up from their injuries while both Altaria and its Trainer flew to Sootopolis City. Winona picked up Sapphire and went on Altaria to evacuate the area since Absol’s Magic Coat was wearing off.
Personality and characteristics
Altaria has been used by Winona more often, more than any other of her Pokémon. As such, Altaria was happy to work alongside Winona.
A † shows that the move was used recently, unless all moves fit this case or there are fewer than five known moves.
In the anime
Winona’s Altaria in the anime
Altaria's only appearance in the anime was in Sky High Gym Battle!. Winona sent it out as her first Pokémon against Ash and lost to his Grovyle despite the type-advantage.
