Staraptor vs Pidgeot
 
Would a staraptor win or Pidgeot.

Staraptor for sure, it looks better:P

I just threw up a little. ;&

Staraptor, hands down.
125 Base Attack combined with Pursuit, U-Turn, Brave Bird and Close Combat is indeed scary.
Edit, Almost forgot Intimidate.

I prefer Pidgeot cos it's old school but...I think Staraptor's better I have to admit.

Staraptor is stronger

Staraptor FTW!!! Intimidate is a great ability. Aerial Ace, Close Combat and Brave Bird are all level up moves. You can get Roost with a TM if you really want it (though in Staraptor it's waste of a good move slot). Way better base attack and and speed.

Staraptor eats Pidgeots for breakfasts!

Nacon October 30th, 2007 5:47 AM

not only is staraptor stronger... its movepool is superior.... and intimidate is very practical.
it's like comparing a pidgeon to a falcon.

Pidgeot>Fearow>Dodrio>Swellow>Staraptor

Actually a Swellow with Guts can be brutal, but I still think Staraptor does a better job as the normal/flying type

you might mean Pidgeot<Fearow<Dodrio<Swellow<Staraptor

lol... yea... Swellows are very brutal the guts and facade combo 1hko'd my snorlax.... lol...

but I see more of Swellow in competitive play over Staraptor.

mithsu October 30th, 2007 9:26 AM

Staraptor, i've on by my self and its very very good!

fr3quency October 30th, 2007 9:33 AM

Staraptor of course. Better Attack and speed + Intimidate.

Shadowz October 30th, 2007 9:48 AM

Pidgeot has got a better F/r sprite but i hate Staraptor's Looks. I think battling Staraptor will win hands down because it has better stat pool and Intimidate ;)

Staraptor for the win.

Brave Bird 2HKO's Pidgeot with Brave Bird, and even a Choice Banded Pidgeot can't OHKO Staraptor, escpecially when Intimidate factors in.

Staraptor is also faster with 100 base Speed vs. 91 base Speed, which makes it impossible for Pidgeot to win. Its only hope is a crit-hit.

It's definite, Pidgeot will never win this fight.

This should go in Strategies & Movesets.

-MOVED-

El Gofre October 30th, 2007 1:30 PM

It's also obvious that you have no knowledge of battling if you're saying that. Staraptor has a fantastic ability and it's stats are where it should be. Pidgeot is just a wannabe bulky bird ._. Thats what Togekiss is for.

Dogar The Brave October 30th, 2007 1:41 PM

yeah..
 
but Pideot can learn icy wind.. which is super effective against ice.. i tink i have beaten you here..

Faceless* October 30th, 2007 1:42 PM

Hahahahahahhahahhaaaa hahahahahahhahahah

You meant Super Effective against Flying, not Ice.


Haha... oh my goodness no. Staraptor > Pidgeot Icy Wind would do crap because its Special Based, even with the Super Effective damage.

Dogar The Brave October 30th, 2007 1:45 PM

ok..
 
i see where i stand.. ill back off.. but.. articuno would kill both of them!

yea, ice is really super-effective against ice isn't it? :/ If Pidgeot could learn Icy wind, then Magikarp could learn Volt tackle. Idiot This is just for kicks. http://serebii.net/pokedex-rs/018.shtml http://serebii.net/pokedex-dp/018.shtml

Articuno is lesser used in wi-fi battling anyways, it's horrible due to Stealth Rockzz
