PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Wing Attack should be paired with Brave Bird for acceptable Flying DPS.

  • Quick Attack is theoretically superior, but doesn’t have much practical use.

  • Close Combat and especially Heat Wave perform terribly.

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

  • Wing Attack hits harder than Quick Attack and offers better coverage.

  • Close Combat and Brave Bird are equally hard to dodge, but the former has better counter coverage.

  • Heat Wave is Staraptor’s worst defensive charged move.

PVE Overview

Staraptor is arguably the best regional bird in the game in terms of stats, boasting the same Attack stat as Machamp! It's also blessed with a great Flying Type moveset to compound its power, making it a very solid investment for early-game players. Less prepared trainers can use it as a cheap option to solo Machamp by evolving high level Starly without the need to invest any stardust.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Wing Attack or Quick Attack + Brave Bird and Close Combat

Both of Staraptor's fast moves have identical stats and both benefit from STAB. Wing Attack is more preferable for Staraptor's role as a flier and at least can be Super Effective in some matchups. 

Brave Bird is Staraptor's primary charge move thanks to its lower energy cost in addition to receiving STAB. Close Combat costs less energy than Heat Wave and provides meaningful coverage. Heat Wave has a poor 1.27 DPE and costs too much energy to use. 

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 1 / 5

Staraptor is a Pokemon doesn't perform as awesome as it looks. An offensive stat distribution severely lowers its bulk, while its moveset leaves a lot to be desired. Without a low energy charge move, Staraptor finds it difficult to apply shield pressure or deal any significant damage if shields are in play. Overall a disappointing pick for Great League, though its typing gives it the resistances needed to win against Ghost-types like Haunter and Alolan Marowak. 

Ultra League: 1 / 5

Staraptor isn't the bird of prey it sought to be, with more losses than wins due the same issues with fragility and a cumbersome moveset. Solid wins against Giratina-O are mostly due to Staraptor's Normal-typing which double resists Ghost attacks, but that's not enough to justify its use when most other popular picks make Staraptor their prey. 

Master League: 0 / 5

With a max CP of 2825, Staraptor looks more like a chicken dinner than a raptor in Master League.
