Thanks to its good Attack, powerful Pixilate-boosted STAB moves, Speed, and good defenses, Mega Altaria serves as a potent late-game setup sweeper primarily seen on offense and hyper offense teams. It can outspeed foes like Cinderace, Mega Latias, and Thundurus after one boost, and it stands out over other sweepers due to its ability to set up on Choice-locked Latias and Hydreigon. Pixilate-boosted Frustration serves as Mega Altaria's best move due to its power without any drawbacks that helps against the plethora of Fighting-, Dark-, and Dragon-types, OHKOing Hydreigon, Mega Heracross, and Galarian Zapdos and 2HKOing Iron Hands, Buzzwole, Mega Latias, and Mega Tyranitar. Earthquake pairs well with Frustration, as it can help deal with the Steel-types that resist the former, 2HKOing Iron Treads, Excadrill, Hisuian Goodra, and Jirachi, and it can also be useful to hit Fire-types like Iron Moth and Skeledirge. Roost lets Mega Altaria set up on defensive targets like Slowbro, Buzzwole, and Skarmory long-term, and it can help to stay healthy in the face of hazards. Mega Altaria perfers to have Natural Cure instead of Cloud Nine to avoid status from targets like Mew and Gastrodon. This given EV spread allows Mega Altaria to outspeed Cinderace and Alakazam at +1. Mega Altaria can have a hard time breaking through some Poison- and Steel-types like Mega Venusaur, Amoonguss, Celesteela, and Skarmory, making offensive Fire-types like Victini, Ceruledge, and Cinderace good supporting teammates. Teammates on offense and hyper offense teams like Iron Moth, Thundurus, and Azumarill make for good partners, being able to threaten out Pokemon like Tapu Bulu, Tapu Fini, and Hippowdon. Offensive pivots such as Cinderace, Sandy Shocks, and Thundurus-T make also good partners for Mega Altaria, as they can bring it in to threaten out Dragon-types, such as Latias and Hydreigon, and pivot it into defensive Pokemon like Buzzwole to give Mega Altaria an opportunity to set up. Mega Altaria appreciates entry hazard removal options and entry hazard setters, notably suicide leads on hyper offense teams like Excadrill, as well as Salamence and Iron Treads on offense teams, which can help to keep Mega Altaria healthy and make it easier to sweep, Stealth Rock chip also enables Mega Altaria to guarantee an OHKO like Mega Latias. In return, Mega Altaria can help against their checks like Buzzwole, Mega Latias, Cinderace, and Galarian Zapdos. Mega Altaria can have great synergy with Pokemon like Rotom-W, which can check the Steel-types that threaten it like Celesteela and has the ablilty to pivot Mega Altaria in.

Thanks to its great Attack, good Ablilty, and average Speed, outspeeding foes like Cinderace, Mega Latias, and Thundurus after one boost, This section needs to be reworded quite a bit. 110 isn't really "great", I'd say good and combine that fact with Pixilate (something like, "powerful Pixilate-boosted STAB moves"). Saying average Speed as a selling point sounds odd, I recommend saying something like, "Speed that lets it outpaces foes like Cinderace and... at +1". Finally, you 100% need to mention its defensive profile, that's what really sets MAlt apart as a sweeper. Mega Altaria serves as a potent setup late-game setup sweeper primarily seen on offense and hyper offense teams. Pixilate-boosted Frustration serves as Mega Altaria's best move due to its general usablilty usability and power without any drawbacks, helping against the plethora of Fighting-, Dark-, and Dragon-types, (Add comma) OHKOing Hydreigon, Mega Heracross, and Galarian Zapdos, and 2HKOing Iron Hands, Buzzwole, Mega Latias, and Mega Tyranitar. Earthquake pairs well with Frustration as it can help deal with the Steel-types that resist it, 2HKOing Iron Treads, Excadrill, Hisuian Goodra, and Jirachi, and it can also be useful to hit targets Fire-types like Hisuian Goodra Iron Moth and Skeledirge. Roost can be useful to let lets Mega Altaria come in and setup on defensive targets like Slowbro, Buzzwole, and Skarmory. MAlt can already do this without Roost. Specify that Roost lets it do this long-term, and mention how it can help it stay healthy in the face of hazards This given EV spread allows Mega Altaria to outspeed Cinderace and Alakazam at +1. Mega Altaria can have a hard time breaking through some Poison- and Flying-types Steel-types Celesteela and Skarmory wall MAlt moreso by being Steel-types than Flying-types tbf like Celesteela, Mega Venusaur, Amoonguss, and Skarmory, making offensive Fire-types like Victini, Ceruledge, and Cinderace good supporting teammates. Offensive pivots such as Cinderace, Sandy Shocks, and Thundurus-T make also good partners for Mega Altaria, being able to pivot into it to threaten out Dragon-types like Latios and Hydreigon, as well as being able to pivot it in against defensive Pokemon Give examples and using it to use them as an opportunity to setup. Mega Altaria can appreciate appreciates entry hazard removal options, notably suicide leads like Excadrill, as well as Salamence and Iron Treads. State why In return, Mega Altaria can help against their checks like Buzzwole, Mega Latias, and Cinderace. Mega Altaria can also pair well with entry hazard setters like Ting-Lu, Mega Tyranitar, and Skarmory, which can help it to guarantee an OHKO on foes like Mega Latias. Move this to the section about removal, since on HO they tend to play the same role. Be sure to distinguish what setters and removal are used in HO (suicide leads) and general offense

State why it wants Natural Cure pre-Mega. Mention synergy with Washtom, as it checks Steel-types and can pivot MAlt in. Mention its ability to set up on numerous Pokemon, like Choice-locked Latios and Hydreigon. Also also mention general offensive teammates, especially on HO.
