This is quite late because irl got in the way, but I'm ready to bring this project back! Congratulations to
Yellow Paint for winning the previous round, his team and description will finally be added to the OP. Next up...
Our beloved tier leader kamikaze's mascot,
Staraptor, is a fairly recent addition to the Viability Rankings, finding its niche in Doubles thanks to its utility from a solid Speed tier as well as its access to Intimidate and moves like Final Gambit and U-turn, which make it a solid Choice Scarf user. Sadly, Staraptor's best attacks to take advantage of that base 120 Attack stat, Brave Bird and Double-Edge, cut into Staraptor's HP and make its Final Gambit considerably less threatening later in the game. Staraptor also faces competition from Victini, which has access to a hugely powerful V-create and considerably more HP, allowing it to take down Zapdos with Final Gambit. That access to Intimidate and immunity to Ground-type moves still gives Staraptor enough that it finds a place on a few teams though, so show us what you've got!
Deadline for submissions is
