That's only six points lower than Talonflame's Attack

High-powered moves like Boomburst and Brave Bird can make up for lackluster offensive stats

I hope staraptor becomes a better staraptor one day if that's all it takes to surpass it

You wish.

Have fun with Reversal, though.

Staraptor won.

Pelipper won.

I love staraptor, but it didn't win shit. Its still a niche at best, it sucks with that mediocre speed and frailness.

I'm so angry the one buff it got was to its special defense and not to its speed or HP.

Quoted By:

Swellow was the first regional bird to have a notably unexceptional Special Attack stat.

Pidgeot's advantage over Fearow and Dodrio in Gen 1 was its Special stat.

Noctowl's Special Atk and Sp Def are higher than its non-Spc counterparts.

Staraptor is still a lot more useful and much better than Swellow.

Just stating facts.

yeah, and swellow is vastly superior to fearow

Just because its better doesn't mean its good, the thing dropped down to RU from BL for fucks sake.

Staraptor won against Swellow.

That was the point of the post.

Try to use your brain before you reply to me next time.

You said Pelipper won, so I assumed you mean won in general this gen.

No idea, but a lot of people have been convinced forever that Pikachu's tail has a dark tip.
It doesn't
