Special Swellow with Scrappy is legit best set in NU and RU

Its attack is still higher. It's fucking shit anyway.

>>31229931
I dont understand why, wouldn't a guts+flame orb set be better? specially with the burn nerf this gen.

STAB Specs Boomburst with Scrappy in a tier that has no sp.def wall + a coverage against steel

>>31230009
better than the suicide set, yes even with the burn nerf

Why do you lie, OP?

>>31230009

That's only six points lower than Talonflame's Attack

High-powered moves like Boomburst and Brave Bird can make up for lackluster offensive stats

what if those 25 points went into attack? what would've happened?

>>31232448
It becomes a better staraptor

>>31232523
>walled by steel types and barely scratches rock types

As if

>>31232523
I hope staraptor becomes a better staraptor one day if that's all it takes to surpass it

>>31232579
>>31232665
It learns CC in gen 7 as well

>>31232723
You wish.

Have fun with Reversal, though.

Staraptor won.

Pelipper won.

>>31232769
I love staraptor, but it didn't win shit. Its still a niche at best, it sucks with that mediocre speed and frailness.

I'm so angry the one buff it got was to its special defense and not to its speed or HP.

Swellow was the first regional bird to have a notably unexceptional Special Attack stat.

Pidgeot's advantage over Fearow and Dodrio in Gen 1 was its Special stat.

Noctowl's Special Atk and Sp Def are higher than its non-Spc counterparts.

>>31232804
Staraptor is still a lot more useful and much better than Swellow.

Just stating facts.

>>31232825
yeah, and swellow is vastly superior to fearow

Just because its better doesn't mean its good, the thing dropped down to RU from BL for fucks sake.

>>31232873
Staraptor won against Swellow.

That was the point of the post.

Try to use your brain before you reply to me next time.

>>31232914
You said Pelipper won, so I assumed you mean won in general this gen.

>>31229811
>Not knowing about the superior specs boomburst set
Kek shitter

>>31230009
>base 81 atk
Its fucking shit anyway

No idea, but a lot of people have been convinced forever that Pikachu's tail has a dark tip.
It doesn't
