Best Staraptor Builds in Pokemon Champions

Staraptor has two main builds in Pokemon Champions. The Intimidate pivot is the safest option, while the Choice Scarf attacker gives Staraptor more revenge-kill potential.

Build 1: Intimidate Physical Pivot

This is the main Staraptor build. It uses Intimidate to weaken physical attackers while threatening strong Flying-type damage.

Build 2: Choice Scarf Attacker

This version gives Staraptor more Speed and lets it revenge KO frailer threats with Brave Bird or Close Combat.
