How to use Staraptor in battle
Brave Birdis the strongest Physical Flying Type move that Staraptor can learn. Despite the recoil damage, the Same Type Attack Boost, or STAB, makes this move’s Base Power 150. The use ofRoostor healing items makes this recoil damage insignificant. Roost, when Mastered, is a move to use in the Agile Style, giving Staraptor the opportunity to move more often while saving Potions.Giga Impacthas the same PP as the move Double-Edge, but has more Power and no recoil. The Accuracy loss can be made up for if used in the Strong Style.Close Combatis the perfect coverage move for Ice and Rock Types, dealing super effective damage against its two biggest weaknesses. Electric Type Pokémon can be dealt with by either its Normal STAB or with Close Combat as well.
