2 minute read

You see, when I start a Sinnoh Game I ALWAYS chose Starly for my Flying type.And now I want to choose Zubat for my Flying Type.Is Crobat a good Choice ?If Crobat is a good choice, I want Moveset with moves obtainable only from Leveling Up or TM/HM, NOT breeding. Thanks

Staraptor

Moveset

Methinks that Close combat isnt very usefull in game because of only 5 pp soo I replaced it with quick attack. If you have heart scale you can replace it afterwards when you reached The battle tower

SO much better in Stats, Moves and everything else.___Here’s why:

Crobat Weakness:Electric, Ice, Psychic, Rock

Staraptor Weakness:Electric, Ice, RockStaraptor has a way bigger Movepool, and with access to Close Combat and Brave Bird, it can be so much more efficient and helping than Crobat. It can also be taught Heat Wave by the Move Tutor (Crobat can too but Staraptor uses it better) and it also get’s access to U-Turn and Steel Wing like Crobat, but again, uses it better. It’s ability Intimidate also comes very useful throughout the game.This is the set I run whenever I use Staraptor:

StaraptorTrait: Intimidate

This is the set I run and I recommend to you. So overall, may Staraptor be your choice.

This is more of and experience response. Having found a Shiny Zubat (And almost having a heart-attack) really impacted my respect for it. Crobat easily outspeeds Staraptor, and Crobat can hit pretty hard. I had a Staraptor and never really liked it, and back then I really loved making my oppenent’s Pokemon have Status Effects. Crobat did a very good job with that, confusing and constantly poisoning other Pokemon. It’s low defenses are made up in it’s Speed and Attack, and with a good nature, it can easily take out any foe with a breeze. I know it’s Sp. Atk is low, but here’s the Moveset I chose - Sludge Bomb, Fly, Shadow Ball, and Confuse Ray.

Well,i would choose the both because they we’re have same stamina and power.here’s the movesets to:Crobat:(gen 4 and 5)Held item:LeftoversMoves:-Air Slash (It may flinch the foe and many PP’s)-Sludge Bomb (his perfect poison move)-Substitute/Double Team (to survive or to increase your evasines)-Shadow Ball (Good way to kill those psychic Pokemons)

Staraptor:(gen 4 and 5)Held item:LeftoversMoves:-Aerial Ace (Ignores Accuracy)-Roost (To rest without sleeping)-Close Combat (Perfect way to crash those annoying ice Pokemons)-Fly/Brave Bird (strong powers and for fly can be used to fly to another city)

i hope this was helpful.
