How did this guy got stuck in BL for 3 generations straight?

it's a conspiracy

Smogon was too dumb to drop him to UU.

Too good for UU, not used enough to warrant being in OU. If it threatened stall people would actually use it more.

But even former OU champions from Gen 5 got dropped down to UU. Why can't he?

Even though there was power creep in gen 5/6, it gained Reckless in Gen 5, which has kept it in BL.

Still stupid if you ask me.

100 speed bird of double 120 STABS+CC with Reckless, Staraptor is fucking amazing for a regional bird, but considering how UU looks right now there's not fucking reason for it to be BL.
