    Hey, I need a moveset for a Modest Staraptor. I don't need anyt arguments but I need just one moveset that will work really well for an "A" team because I'm EV training it.
     
    Well, Staraptor can't really Special Sweeper because of this basic reason:

    1.) It's Special Movepool is quite hollow. Meaning, it has no Special Moves except two, which are epic fail. It just doesn't have a variety to pick from, like let's say Starmie.

    So I think I made my point, the best Nature to run is Adamant / Jolly.
     
    That makes no sense. EV Train a Modest Staraptor and expect to get nowhere.
     
    Um, modest decreases that amazing 120 base Atk staraptor gets. That isn't such a good idea, especially when CBed, STABed brave birds are flying at you everywhere...which BTW, would be quite a novel use for it. But adamant or jolly is necessary or it just won't do much. you must realise that.
     
    Honestly, this makes no sense. However, if you INSIST on a moveset, even with its terrible nature:

    Staraptor @ Choice Band / Life Orb
    Nature: Modest (Honestly, this is lowering its BEST stat and raising its NEVER USED stat)
    Ability: Intimidate
    EV Spread: 6 HP / 252 ATK / 252 SPD

    Brave Bird
    Double Edge / Return
    Close Combat
    U-Turn


    Please reconsider using a different Staraptor.
