Pidgy or Starly?

[Opposite Day]

Starly.

Pidgeot ain't got **** on Close Combat.

Considering that Pidgeot really isn't the most powerful bean in the bunch, true. But why the HECK would you use an un-STAB'ed attack that lowers your defences and hits for neutral damage?
Use Return, a 102 base power STAB move.. or the even deadlier 120 BP STAB'ed Brave Bird -.-

(I vote for Starly)

 

[dark_giratina]

Starly, better attack and speed, looks cooler and it has close combat, which would own pidgey

 

[Platysaur]

Starly.

Pidgeot ain't got **** on Close Combat.

What I think Fishyman is trying to say is that close combat is a cool good move that is generally uncharacteristic of a normal-flying type. Pidgey and its evolution don't really have anything like that. (his comment was kind of vague so that's what I assume. XD) It also gives nice coverage.

My vote is for starly though, sorry pidgey. I vote starly because back in my g/s r/b days seeing pidgey so often in the grass just annoyed the mess out of me. I also like starly's moves.

 

[Azonic]

Taillow is better than both. :[

 

[Lady Berlitz]

I prefer Starly over Pidgey because... well, I have no clue. I just feel that Pidgey is too mainstream and it is "old" to me. Also, I like Staraptor's advantages and movesets in battle, and I like its design a lot better. Come on, why pick a pidgeon over a starling? xD

 

[Sparkler]

I personaly enjoy Starly, :D Because i had a very strong bond ingame wih my Starly on Pearl. :D But on platinum i didn't want a starly.

Starly has better overall stats and is awesome with close combat and endeavour.

 

[Timbjerr]

Staraptor may be better than Pidgeot in terms of overall stats and movepool, but Pidgeot will always be the first bird Pokemon I've used competitively...

 

[Ayselipera]

Starly is super annoying. The noise that it makes when it appears makes me want to rip my eardrums out.

Pidgey is just perfect. I love it!

 

[Fenrir Reki]

Ill go with starly because it seems to have higher stats and better moves than Pidgey does. It also looks better than Pidgey sort of.

 

[Captain Hobo.]

Starly t's faster and it is so cool

 

[leingodf8]

Pidgey and Starly are basically the same... But staraptor is a better pokemon over all then pidgeot, learning brave bird and close combat, and intimidate. But pidgeot still wins because it is so much cooler

 

[MechaTrickster]

Pidgey ):< Ill pump them full of steroids and rare candies if they arent better

 

[Jirachification]

Starly - It has better base stats and movesets.

 

[Blue_Drifblim]

Starly. There's something about Pidgey that irks me.

 

[Lady Gaga]

Starly - its knows better moves, and evloves to great stuff

tho, i really do like Pidgey as well. its not as annoying, and its evo design is way better than starlys

 

[Meganium`]

Starly. It has a better learnset.

 

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

I like Starly a whole lot more then Pidgey


:t354:TG

 

[skeddles]

Pidgeot is one of the coolest looking pokemon. The evolved form of starly looks absolutely ridiculous. I don't care if it's better in battle, that's just because they made gen 4 pokemon over powered so people would think they were the best yet so people would buy more pokemon crap.

Pidgeot > Staraper

 

[Charizard★]

Even though Starly is stronger I like Pidgy better.
