Gen 6 OU D-Dance Mega Sweeper & Utility

Altaria @ Altarianite
Ability: Cloud Nine
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Return
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Heal Bell

Ooh, this thing is clean. Some nice prediction can award you one or two free Dragon Dances. Proceed to obliterate with 132.6 BP Return (without STAB) as well as EQ which is almost perfect neutral coverage. Heal Bell to ward off any potential Will-O-Wisps, which would cripple Altaria.
