Strategy Overview
For the most part, Staraptor is outclassed by other revenge killers and late-game cleaners in the tier, such as Kartana and Landorus-T, due to the extreme detriment of constant recoil damage from its STAB attacks, which easily puts it in range of priority from Pokemon such as Mega Mawile and Ash-Greninja. Additionally, Staraptor's extreme frailty with no notable advantage over other hard-hitting revenge killers such as Tapu Lele and Kartana ensures that it's a fringe option at best.
