Hello Smogon Forums! I am a new user, and interested in the Gen 4 metagame.
So in the past, I have played a team with Staraptor in it. The set in question:
Staraptor @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 56 HP / 252 Atk / 200 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Brave Bird
- Return
- Close Combat
- U-turn
and it's actually worked really well for me. The Staraptor does its job as an effective sweeper. Pretty much outspeeds and 2HKOs most things that don't resist it. The only real problem is the SR weakness and low defense.
Has anyone else used Staraptor in OU and found it viable? If so, would you mind sharing your set?
