About our ranking methodology

Our guide provides detailed information on recommended Pokémon and moves that are most effective against Staravia in Raid Battles. Whether you're looking for the best counters to take Staravia down quickly with high DPS, or the tankiest counters that can withstand its attacks, our guide has something for every trainer.

This guide displays a list of best Staravia counters in Pokémon GO with their Fast Attacks, Charged Attacks, DPS (damage per second), TDO (total damage output), faints, TTW (time to win), and score. The list is sorted by the score, which is calculated based on the DPS and TDO. Each Pokémon's move type is indicated by an icon beside the move name.

When calculating the best counters for any Pokémon, our simulator takes into account various factors, such as the defender's typing and average DPS against each attacker, the weather's influence, energy left over from using Charged Attacks, Shadow Pokémon attack and defense stat changes, and more. During the initial phase of simulations, we calculate DPS and TDO for each attacker that is currently available in the game, and then we continue to rank them.

We use a ranking method developed by a Reddit user named /u/Elastic_Space, which is described in detail in this Reddit post. It is a fairly complicated, but very well thought-out mathematical model for predicting simulation results without actually running the simulations. It also correlates with field data almost too well not to be used. Reddit

Time to Win (TTW) and faint counts are estimates based on your selected settings, including friendship. Other factors, such as damage boosts from another Trainer’s Mega-Evolved Pokémon and connection delays, can change real battle results.
