What?

The fuck does this have to do with anything?

Is it because my Volcarona is 4x weak? It's irrelivant because she's obviously at almost full health, so pebbles aren't on the field.

I want maymay spouting ledditfags to leave, or at least stay in the Josh threads.

That's nothing compared to pic related.
Staraptor is a shitty Pokemon, right? Yes, it is. Nobody expects staraptor to do anything without getting outsped and dying first, right? Nobody does. But this faggot. This fucking faggot. It raped my entire team by only using Brave bird and Close Combat. IT MANAGED TO SWEEP MY WHOLE TEAM OF FULL SMOGON APPROVED SETS AND OU POKEMON BY ONLY USING CLOSE COMBAT AND BRAVE BIRD. I FUCKING HATED THIS FUCKING THING, IT KEPT USING CLOSE COMBAT AND BRAVE BIRD AND WHEN I SWITCHED OUT TO SOMETHING WITH 120+ ATTACK IT SWITCHED OUT TO SOMETHING THAT RESISTED MY POKEMON'S STABS AND KEPT SWITCHING IN BACK SO INTIMIDATE COULD WORK. FUCK SHIT PISS CUNT ASS DICK. Fuck this feathered faggot.

People only pretend Staraptor is bad because apparently someone decided that it's cool to hate on pokemon that the gen 4 babbies think are cool. It's actually absurdly potent, and sweeping large portions of teams is fairly common for teams that don't carry resistances to flying that aren't weak to fighting.

I like Staraptor but it sucks like most bird Pokemon except for Togekiss, Zapdos and the ones in Ubers (except Ho-oh, Ho-oh is the worst Uber, it's OU/BL material, seriously).

Staraptor is fucking terrifying.

It has 120 base power, speed ties with a ton of pokemon, and has Reckless powering up STAB Brave Bird, along with CC.

He's the best regional bird by far and a good pokemon.

The "worst" pokemon I can think of in OU are things like Gastrodon, and even then those pokemon aren't bad at all.

And yes, there are great pokemon in NU.

Still, you're gonna tell me a pokemon in the same tier of usage as Kyurem is bad?

Politoed, ninetales, jellicent, donphan, skarmory and tentacruel are kind meh too.

>and even then those pokemon aren't bad at all
They're mid-tier at best.

>Still, you're gonna tell me a pokemon in the same tier of usage as Kyurem is bad?
People use it ironically because it's edgy and emo, like people use honchkrow and xatu ironically because of maymays. Are you saying these Pokemon are good? They're not.

The truth of the matter is, Staraptor is great in-game but simply not really good in competitive.

Seriously, though, this shit is fucking old. Stop fucking shitting on it and defending it.

Fun fact: A Staraptor with Reckless, and Brave Bird will fucking kill itself against a Blissey in one hit. That's impressively retarded.

Maybe the opponent switched his Blissey into Brave Bird to kill Staraptor?

Not that it would ever be worthwhile to do so, but still.

Listen, I don't like Staraptor because I think it looks like shit, but I can't sit here and say that it's bad.

Look at it this way: It's a physical attacker with great coverage, awesome power, and decent speed but is retarded easy to revenge kill.

You know who else is a physical attacker with great coverage, awesome power, and decent speed but is retarded easy to revenge kill?

Terrakion.

Staraptor

Weak to

Ice (common-ish)
Electric (common-ish)
Rock (common)
Has 2 immunities

Terrakion

Weak to

Water (fucking everywhere)
Ground (fucking everywhere)
Fighting (fucking everywhere)
Psychic (common-ish)
Grass (uncommon as STAB)
Steel (lol bullet punch)
No immunities

Kinda undermines his bulk.

Not saying Terrakion is bad. It's fucking borderline broken, but it has essentially the same flaws as Staraptor.

Staraptor has U-turn. A scarfed 120 atk U-turn hurts, but otherwise that is really the only benefit of using him over terrakion.
I wish heatran and terrakion got banned to ubers already, I see more of those than stealth rocks what the fuck.

The way that BL works is that it's a list of Pokemon considered too much for UU to deal with, OU's meta has nothing to do with it. It's the Ubers of UU. Staraptor is there, Zapdos is not.

Again, its not that Staraptor > Zapdos, a single pokemon that counters Staraptor but not Zapdos (say a tank steel/ghost tank with thunderbolt that could set up in the switch) becoming common could invert their positions.
Magnezone is OU and is pretty much a waste of slot if the oponent doesnt have a ferrotorn/choiced scizor locked into bullet punch. Chandelure went all the way up to ubers at one point but now sits at UU because everyone started packing a counter for it.
