>Intimidate early game
>High speed and attack
>Brave bird+Quick attack lets it murder in game
>CC by level up nuking everything thay would switch
>Reckless HA to just make it a suicidal sweeper
The idea of it interacting with certain sinnohmons also sounds kinda cute

I always thought intimidate was a bad ability because Pearl was the first game I really played and I thought anything this early’s ability would be bad

The only thing I would tweak on Staraptor would be making it Fighting/Flying, since there's no more obligation to have a Normal regional bird.

Swellow and Talonflame are better than Staraptor in every aspect.

Assuming Corviknight is the regional bird of Galar, it’s still better looking that Staraptor, in fact id argue Staraptor is uglier than Pidgeot.

Anon, I know it getting Close Combat is really cool but that does not mean it should be a fighting type

Another case of people wanting an entire type change so a pokemon can get STAB on one Attack.

I love its design, but the abilities aren't so good, we must hope it has good stats and good movepool...

Only as it's HA, Staraptor has the solid intimidate naturally. It's other non-HA abilities are unimpressive.

Still trash in design and overall appeal. Talonflame and Swellow are better. And Corviknight too.

dude, if Skarmory had Pressure it would run it 100% of the time. It allows for PP stalling away boosting moves and healing moves, alongside the scary physical moves that spook the retarded fucking egg that it's protecting.

When the fuck are they freeing Staraptor from UUBL hell? How are OU threats from last gen allowed in UU but Staraptor isn't?
