Mega Staraptor Team Build and Moves Advice
Summary
In Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments this thread asks for suggestions on a Mega Staraptor set and overall team composition. It covers move choices like Brave Bird vs Aerial Ace and Quick Attack priority, teammate options including Empoleon Wyrdeer Milotic and Sableye, speed tier tradeoffs, Trick Room vs Tailwind strategies and item/strategy notes.
Any suggestion what should I change?

Empoleon learns roost?
I didnt even know that
on my straptor i run quick attack over u turn, which is just because I want priority but I think you should run brave bird over aeriel ace
Idk what my 6th slot should be tryna find something that could be useful with charm other than mega staraptor and could counter rocks so I just pick moves from showdown
Ok
Also I put wyrdeer cuz for raichu pretty much
On second thought I'll just run milotic instead
I should say, watch out in case you run into max hp final gambit Staraptor
three of those mons want trick room more than tailwind
The zoom lens description says that the holder should move after the target that's why I made it slow so I can hypnosis someone
This one different I already made an improvement I just notice
thats a lot of speed calcs to do on the fly
easier to just swap out like sini for sableye and use gravity
then the speed tiers dont matter
and you get to put something else on wyrdeer

raptor is just an odd speed stat.
either its tw or balance. neither of them support wyrdeer or empoleon
sini can be slower but everything else wants to go fast
Yes I don't pair them with staraptor
and if you face a tr team wyrdeer all of a sudden doesnt go last 100% of the time
then where is the second mega you do pair them with?
like no matter where you look you have at least one mon minimum that wants speed, one that really doesnt want speed, and one that gets ohko too quickly without going first to make a difference most of the time
the matchups are fine, but your speed tiers are just fighting each other
also, mega raptors moves are a bit off as well
You could it's "contrary" to one another lol
quick attack doesnt need to be there when im pretty sure it gets vacuum wave if you want prio pressure
Ok
all that does is make you lose in all three speed modes.
if they tw, you only gain an advantage on wyrdeer
if they tr you only gain an advantage on empoleon
if they play balance, youre screwed
protect is the most important thing for vgc. speed is the second most important
Oh i see
when i team build, i decide on the mega first, the mode second, the team third. each fits like a puzzle piece

everything wants trick room,

everything wants tailwind.
I'm justing things Staraptor might not be that broken afterall I just lose to a ghost type
hey what's the perimeter between mons that wants to go fast and mons that wants trick room?
Imma build something with speed control in mind
I never used trick room before and I got a shiny giraffe in my pokemon sv might as well use it
Is 70 base stats good enough? Gonna use metagross
just give it brave nature and it will be fine
0 speed brave metagross works well in tr
