Tropius or Staravia
 
Which one would you choose as your flying type if you could only choose those two?

Fallujah March 29th, 2009 9:54 AM

Tropius, though that's just my sorta biased opinion, I don't really like Staravia all that much, that's why I sent a pidgey (now Pidgoet) to Platinum.

Working Class Hero March 29th, 2009 10:02 AM

Tropius. It's rare, and strong. With a good vareity of attacks. Why Staravia instead of Staraptor? o.o

Kayin March 29th, 2009 10:05 AM

Tropius if it's between Tropius and Staravia. If it was between Tropius and Staraptor, I'd go with Staraptor.

Cid March 29th, 2009 10:07 AM

Tropius, though it's only an opinion.

I think Staravia would be good if you have no Grass-types on your team.
Also, you shouldn't choose Tropius if your team is already weak to Fire and/or Ice-types.

I wouldn't recommend having both of them on your team.

Ruphire March 29th, 2009 10:07 AM

I'd go with Tropius because
It can learn a variety of moves
And because it just looks awesome.

Nitrous Oxide March 29th, 2009 10:08 AM

Staraptor, because Tropius has junk stats.

Nnoitra Jiruga March 29th, 2009 10:13 AM

Staraptor (Staravia?) has good speed and att.
I'm not sure bout Trophius though. 0_o

Tinhead Bruce March 29th, 2009 10:13 AM

Togekiss. He's so much better than the two. Why can't you choose him?

Ikitsumi March 29th, 2009 10:19 AM

Tropius makes a very good HM slave. >:3 And Staravia's got a better ability, especially since it works every battle. I have a Staraptor in my party right now, high attack and speed.

PokéMartin March 29th, 2009 10:27 AM

Tropius all the way! He's Grass type (I love Grass-type!) and it has Bananas growing around its neck! What more can you ask for?

thedestinedblade March 29th, 2009 10:31 AM

Always found Starvia boring. So Tropius.

Kokuo March 29th, 2009 10:55 AM

I'll go with Staravia because I like it more than Tropius.

MetalMario March 29th, 2009 11:02 AM

Tropius. Bulkier and makes a good flyer+mixed slave.

(But use Charizard for this purpose instead if you can.)

-Leaf March 29th, 2009 11:07 AM

Staraptor (or staravia)
Look better and pwn ass!
anyway... i think i will get a pidgey from a friend (damn, if i have a pidgey i would already have 4 slots on my team since i taking the johto starters too, he only asked for a piplup so ill do him a favor and S/R for a modest one..)

Oh.. i forgot i need to breed them too.. cuz i like pokemon with my OT.. and forgot i will get a sudowoodo now (that means the team will have 3 johto starters, pidgeot / staraptor and sudowoodo, not sure about the last slot. i think about misdreavus or spiritomb or gardevoir.. i talk about meh team too much lol)

Cera March 29th, 2009 11:17 AM

I would choose tropius.. I dont like staravia so much. It is so.. uh, normal..? :p

BHwolfgang March 29th, 2009 11:24 AM

Hmm... this is a hard choice for me. :(

If it has to come between these two, then I would pick Tropius. Even if these two duke it out, Tropius would have the advantage, as most of Staraptor (Staravia?) can't really attack the creature effectively.

Jake♫ March 29th, 2009 11:27 AM

It depends on what you are looking for. For me, it is easily Staraptor, as I love the brutal offense. Tropius is more of a utility (If you can even call it that :P) than anything, since it can learn so many HMs.

Wulf March 29th, 2009 11:30 AM

Tropius, man, he's so awesome. Not only is he jsut a tree, but a dinosaur, a flying dinosaur! We all wanted a pet dinosaur sometime in our life. So yeah he flies, but not with wings, leaves, yeah with leaves, so awesome! Not only that, he has bananas growing out of his neck! So what would you choose a boring old bird, or a friggen dinosaur?

Yamikarasu March 29th, 2009 11:33 AM

Staraptor for sure. It is definitely the best out of any of the early flying types, like Pigeot or Swellow. Quick, strong, and it learns Close Combat, making it actually somewhat viable competitively.

Tropius would be cool if you're looking for something different, but if it just boils down to which is the better flying type, then Staraptor wins hands down.

Keahi March 29th, 2009 11:42 AM

I'll choose Staravia because when it turns into Staraptor, it will have a good attack and good speed.

M O M U S U March 29th, 2009 11:55 AM

Tropius. I have him as my HM slave,
and I just flat-out hate Staravia.

Tropius makes a great addition, becuase
it can learn a variety of moves.

I use Togekiss for flying mostly, though.

PKMNTrainerAndrew March 29th, 2009 12:51 PM

Tropius because of his mixed types so he could learn some grass type moves

Zebeedoo March 29th, 2009 12:54 PM

Tropius,reasom being for my grass type love. :D

PKMNTrainerAndrew March 29th, 2009 12:54 PM

Yeah grass is awesomnessssssssss
