What it does
Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Asleep. During Pokémon Checkup, your opponent flips 2 coins instead of 1. If either of them is tails, that Pokémon is still Asleep.
If it bonds with a person, it will gently envelop the friend with its soft wings, then hum.

Where it came from
Altaria 160/197 was released in 2023 as part of the Obsidian Flames expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The set marked a significant shift in the game's mechanics by introducing Tera Pokémon ex, featuring type-shifted elemental identities. This specific card represents the Dragon type, consistent with Altaria's established typing in the core video games, and fits into a broader collection of cards focused on the Terastal phenomenon first introduced in the Scarlet and Violet generation.
The artwork for this card continues the series' tradition of utilizing diverse illustrative styles to define the aesthetic of the Obsidian Flames set. By pairing the elegant, avian design of Altaria with the clean, modern layout standard in the Scarlet and Violet era, the designers aimed to provide collectors with a thematic visual experience. Like other uncommon cards in the expansion, it functions as a functional staple for players, balancing its utility in competitive play with the accessible, nostalgic character design that long-time fans of the franchise recognize.
