4th Gen Tropius or Staravia

[FireApe2135]

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

 

[Fallujah]

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]

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

 

[Kayin]

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

 

[Cid]

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]

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

 

[Nitrous Oxide]

Staraptor, because Tropius has junk stats.

 

[Nnoitra Jiruga]

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

 

[Tinhead Bruce]

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

 

[Ikitsumi]

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]

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]

Always found Starvia boring. So Tropius.

 

[Kokuo]

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

 

[Maple Meganium]

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

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

 

[-Leaf]

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]

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

 

[BHwolfgang]

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♫]

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]

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]

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.
