As the title suggests, I really am in need of a good moveset for Altaria. Any suggestions would be great.

Thats a bad moveset because first of all sing and spore do the same thing but spore does it better. And just because Altaria is fluffy doesnt mean it learns spore. It DOES NOT learn spore. Dragon Dance raises attack while dragon claw is a special attack... You obviously dont know what you are talking about -_-"
Altaria@Leftovers
~Dragon Claw
~Flamethrower
~Rest
~Haze/Toxic
Special sweepeer with natural rest. Use rest and switch out and the sleep will go away thanks to natural cure. It makes a good special wall as long as it doesnt get hit by any ice beams. Toxic to stall and haze to well... haze.
You can also use...
Altaria@leftovers
~Dragon Dance
~Hidden Power Flying/Aerial Ace
~Earthquake
~Rest
Bad set compared to the first one though... The trick to using Altaria is abusing natural rest imo... Have fun with it
PS. Flygon/Salamence/Dragonite are the better dragons

PLEASE don't offer movesets if you don't know how. Altaria doesn't even learn Spore. DDing is MUCH better with Salamence than Altaria. What it does better than Sala is tank. Here is a suggestion:
Altaria @ Leftovers
Natural Cure
- Dragon Claw
- Flamethrower/Fire Blast
- Rest
- Sing/Perish Song
FlameClaw does at least standard damage on every Poke, Sing/PS to help force switching and Rest to heal/remove status. Natural Cure is fun to immediately wake Altaria up.

First of all, you shouldn't claim sets as it's very gay and stupid.
Second, the only reaso to use Altaria is to abuse Natural Resting

yay, Altaria has a base 70 Atk, which is not good for sweeping. If you want to use Altaria effectively, make sure you abuse Rest. Your best bet is using Flameclaw, since it's not really trying to do any sweeping. Not to mention, its even harder to set up Dragon Dance in UU play, what with Ice Beams running even wilder than the do in OU.

Doesnt take away from the fact that DDAltaria is harder to set up than Sala in OU, although I see no reason to use DDAltaria when you have a perfectly usable Gligar setting right there.

Lol. You say I make useless posts?
Anyway, I guess I could try Rest with FlameClaw. :\

I'm sure Pax (or at least Mullet) agrees with me, but I'm cooler than you, and am exempt from my posts being useless.

You can just assume things like that. You could live in an adobe house for all I know. :\
Anyway, yes, FlameClaw Altaria can't do anything.

First of all, you make posts just as useless.
Second, you guys are just assuming that I'm lower class than you. Please keep that stuff to yourself.
Third of all, at least I was contributing a bit to the topic in my posts, and all you guys say is "Dude, you're not cool".
