    Staraptor being the first early route bird to have a very good coverage move against both rocks, steels and ice types makes it forever a hero in my eyes for giving the birds hope.

      There are only three fully evolved Pokémon in Paldea that have both the Normal and Flying type, and one of them doesn't evolve until level 54 and so couldn't have been on his gym team (though it's pre-evolution technically could have been).
      So there are literally only two Pokémon in the entirety of Paldea that could have been on both teams; Squawkabilly and Staraptor.

    I've always called this thing 'deathbird'. Because when it gets sent out, something will die.
    Granted, the joke is because it's got so many recoil and defense lowering moves, it might be that something. (98% brave bird into a blissey, takes 100% damage. XD)
    Either way, easily my favorite out of all the early game basic birds. Most of them become meh later on in the game, this one opens it's final evolution with close combat!

    The second match was one of the coolest to watch. The first half and the second half look like different games. The first half has the Tera and they both come at the same time (which is sick), and then they die and the second half is breaking through stall without gimmicks. It’s like to different matches almost because the pokemon in the first half disappear in the second. Pretty sick.

    as a swampert fan myself i felt him going for the ice punch, the one thing guaranteed to ruin his day is any sort of grass attack, and not much in Pokémon feels so sweet as predicting a grass switch in and popping a coverage move to knock it out. if only there was a ground move called soil ruin that only hits grass for super effective, and prevents grass moves from being used. ah well, that cheeky ice punch was still satisfying.

    Staraptor (in my experience) can really only run one move set for the most part (double edge or tailwind but still very limiting) but the item and ability combo allows it to be a menacing pivot or a lategame sweeper with dangerous coverage. And since it's an unexpected pokemon, you'll usually find success catching people off guard with its potential.
