Which hold item is best?
I've just finished raising a champion of a shiny Staraptor. (31 Speed IVs.) But there is one thing she still needs before going into battle: a hold item. So far, she looks like this:
[email protected]? Jolly Trait: Intimidate -Brave Bird -Close Combat -Return -U-Turn For the item, I don't know which of these to pick: -Muscle Band: No drawbacks but minimal Atk increase -Life Orb: Better Atk increase but a tad suicidal since I'm also running Brave Bird and Close Combat -Choice Band: Better Atk increase still but the restricton of moves can be extermely problematic |
Life Orb/Choice Band/Choice Scarf either one of those

Choice Scarf or Choice Band. Staraptor's defenses should be of almost no concern to you since this particular one probably has bad IVs in those areas.
Congrats on the shiny Staraptor, too! |
Expert Belt probably since Choice Band will increase recoil. And CB with U-turn isn't the best combo

Thanks for your help, and thanks to Fufu for the congrats. I've decided to run Choice Band and see how it works for me. If it doesn't do well I'll switch to Life Orb.
