    While Staraptor isn't my favourite of Ash's birds, he has to be the most quickly developping birds. It evolved before the first gym and learned Brave Bird, one of the strongest Flying moves before the third.

    I would've loved to see more of Staraptor's goofy side. All of Ash's birds have kinda always fell into the "hardened, serious battler" and that's awesome I love that. But the glimpses of goof we saw in Staravia would've added a nice pinch of extra personality to differentiate him from the rest.

    • @laxusstrauss5945
      @laxusstrauss5945 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Swellow was used on even more battles tho and had an additional arc unlike the other 2
      Just look at the league ash even had a full battle against katy which was just a forgettable character
      And grovyle didn't evolve which makes swellow and corphish his best mons there

    Staraptor would have been a great Pokemon to use against Bea during their Ultra Class Battle. I feel like Staraptor vs Grapploct would have been a highlight, since they both knew Close Combat, and Staraptor's strength to break free of Body Slam could have been done again to get out of Octolock.

      Yes, but I feel as if Staraptor would fall into the same pitfall that lost him the match against Drapion, as Grapploct can intercept Staraptor using his tentacles just as Drapion did with his tail.

  • @narxmagee727
    @narxmagee727 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    It was so cool seeing Staraptor use Close Combat. It lead to some of my favourite moments from the bird like when it first used the move to lay the smack down to Paul's Honchcrow or as a way of getting out of a sticky situation with Paul's Gastrodon.

    0:59 feel like the reason all of his birds are so loyal is that he catches after beating them. So they know he is strong and worth following the manga went into the reason Pokemon obey and basically they will follow at first and either gain or lose loyalty depending on how well you treat and train them

      @@ProfessorAlexSilver most likely. Pokemon can at any point decide to leave their trainers. We saw Pikachu almost do that in the beginning. And we've seen some cases of it briefly explored with chimchar Charmander and tepig. Even though they were registered to a different PokeBall they still went to ash. I don't think the anime will go into it much though since it's basically promotions for the game and the manga gets pretty dark

Staraptor's PokeRinger battle against Paul is the exact same when Swellow did his, literally won the same way as Swellow by using its wing to hit the ring into the goal, talk about a cheap knock off. Everyone's thing with Staraptor is "oh it has a better moveset". Movesets don't matter in the anime, look at freaking Greninja's moveset, Water Shuriken, Aerial Ace, Cut and Double Team. In the game, all of those moves are under 60 power, but does that matter in the anime? No cause moves aren't defined by power, just how well they are used. Educate yourself before making a arguement you can't win

I consider it my starter bc I have fonder memories of it than any of the sinnoh starters. It was tough but I’ll never forget when I beat Cynthia with it. Such an awesome, badass Pokemon with such sentimental value to me. I use one whenever I can and recently had one in my SP and PLA teams. Also had one on my platinum, soul silver, white 2 and Y teams.

    Staraptor as a species won my heart with its knowledge of brave bird and close combat and I hoped ever since Starly evolved to staravia that it would evolve again. I love that Ash’s learned both its iconic moves. My only complaint is Ash totally should have used it as his Sinnoh steed as it was clearly big enough for Ash to ride on its back.

    I have always been a fan of the Starly evolutionary family, as Starly, I think it's one of the cuter bird Pokemon out there, and Staraptor is quite a powerhouse as well. I always use one on my in-game team in gen4 and it's remakes, both for being able to be added to my team extremely early on, as well as because it's a legitimately good Pokemon for most of the game, especially after it fully evolves. Having said that, and Ash's Staraptor is definitely one of the more interesting birds he caught, and I would even go as far as to say it's my favorite one he owned, though I will admit I might be a little bit biased due to him having many of my favorites from gen4 on his team
