0398 Staraptor

Wing Attack is provides the best energy generation and deals decent damage, and is Staraptor's preferred Fast Attack. Gust provides incredible damage, but its energy generation is average at best Quick Attack is not recommended since its typing can't benefit from a Super Effective multiplier. 

Fly is Staraptor's primary charge move thanks to its lower energy cost in addition to receiving STAB. Close Combat also has a fairly low cost and provides valuable coverage against Steel- and Rock-type Pokemon. Brave Bird is extremely powerful, but it is rather costly and the debuff is not ideal. Heat Wave is a bad move.

Staraptor has a terrifying moveset and is an incredibly potent closer. Its coverage is almost perfect and can easily clean teams up when backed behind shields. However, Staraptor's frailty and high dependence on shields can make it rather unreliable. It also competes with the more meta Flying-type Pokemon such as Talonflame and Skarmory, both of which are more reliable.

Ultra League provides more bulk for Staraptor to more reliably reach its devastating Charged Attacks, although it remains a fragile Pokemon. Like in the Great League, Staraptor is an incredible cleaner and investing shields for it can pay off, but it relies on said shields and can be unreliable as a result. Having a Ghost resistance is fantastic against Giratina, Trevenant, and Jellicent, setting it apart from other Fliers such as Talonflame and Dragonite.

With a max CP of 2825, Staraptor looks more like a chicken dinner than a raptor in Master League.
