>>12331181Most early birds get at least one decent ability option. Staraptor is blessed with two (Reckless and Intimidate), but Guts, Sniper, Super Luck, and similar abilities aren't completely off. The problem is that most of them have bad movepools, bad stats, or both. The earlier birds (Pidgeot, Fearow, etc) are the worst offenders on the stats, and later birds (Swellow, Unfezant, etc) have workable spreads and poor coverage. It's all matter of how hard GameFreak tries to make Fletchling worth using.
