Staraptor is one of the best in-game mons ever, certainly in DPPt. I mean, any combination of Return, Fly, Close Combat, U-Turn, Quick Attack, Aerial Ace and Brave Bird, with decent speed and a very solid attack stat, plus Intimidate. Starly even learns Wing Attack very early and evolves by level 14. Considering that Gale Wings is HA for Smogon-bird (and even then, I think Staraptor gets the advantage for in-game use), Staraptor is the champion bar none of the regional birds.
>>28563106In BW2 maybe, but in BW they come very late and evolve even later. Clearly some retards were working at GF's game design division the day they decided that.
