I've been playing with Altaria a ton recently especially considering many people are on the "Altaria sucks" train right now. While sure, it's not the greatest mon in the meta right now, it's still a threatening force to be reckoned with, especially after a DD. Altaria and Volcarona have phenomenal offensive synergy with each other, as Altaria helps defeat some of Volcarona's main threats, such as Heatran which it disposes of easily with Earthquake, while Volcarona takes care of annoying steel types for Altaria. And with both being set-up sweepers, the opposing team has to put a lot of pressure on the core to prevent either mon from setting up and winning.
I would prefer a bulky offense build for these two, and I do not mind if you change the Altaria set to Defensive DD as long as it remains DD to stick with the dual-setup part of the core that I appreciate, and the Volc set is pretty standard. Although the core kind of struggles with Talon, so I would not mind at all if you used Coba Berry + HP Rock Volc to make it easier, as I've tried building with these two, but I always tend to find really glaring holes in my builds that I can't seem to patch up well. Although someone more experienced with teambuilding can certainly pick it up and do some work with it, and that way we can still prove that Altaria is effective in this metagame, cheers! n_n
