PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Normal Attacker:
Quick Attack
Fly - Flying Attacker:
Gust *
Fly
First-route Birds aren’t typically good attackers in Pokémon GO, but Staraptor breaks the mold by not only being the best PvE Bird but also a great Pokémon on its own. 💯
This fierce bird boasts a high Attack stat of 234 and an amazing moveset, making it 100% worth raising a Staraptor in Pokémon GO. 🦅
💥 The best moves for Staraptor in PvE are Wing Attack/Gust and Fly.
⚔️ Raids
The Flying-type meta has only a select few attackers with a complete Flying-type moveset. Staraptor is one of those few Pokémon and is ideal for players who don’t have a high-level Mega Rayquaza. 🪽
🛡️ Gyms
Staraptor isn’t too tanky, but its powerful Flying-type moveset (Gust + Fly) can quickly delete Fighting-type attackers.

Wing Attack
Fly
Close Combat
Staraptor does run into issues due to its fragility, but it more than makes up for it with its devastatingly strong moveset. With Fly and Close Combat, Staraptor gains perfect coverage over every type, making it a scary threat in both Great and Ultra League. Staraptor never disappoints!
Note: Wing Attack got nerfed in the GBL, so you should go with either Gust (high damage output) or Quick Attack (high energy generation). 👀 However, Wing Attack isn't bad and can still be used since Gust requires an Elite Fast TM.
💥 The best moves for Staraptor in PvP are Gust/Quick Attack, Fly, and Close Combat.
🔵 Great League
Staraptor breezes through numerous foes like Annihilape, Shadow Drapion, Drifblim, Guzzlord, and Ariados. Even in unfavorable matchups, it still does a considerable amount of damage. This is a Pokémon you simply can't ignore in the Great League.
🟡 Ultra League
With higher CP limits, Staraptor spreads its wings wider and soars higher in the Ultra League. Its win list expands, adding Greninja, Skeledirge, Virizion, Shadow Golurk, Feraligatr, and Gliscor.
Additionally, it resists the numerous Ghost-types present in this League, making it even more resourceful. 🫶
🟣 Master League
Staraptor takes a nosedive in the Master League and can't keep up with the top-tier Pokémon in this part of the GBL.
