No One Is Using Staraptor, But This Makes It Insane 

Staraptor being the first early route bird to have a very good coverage move against both rocks, steels and ice types makes it forever a hero in my eyes for giving the birds hope. (Edited to address my mistaken claim initially, sorry everyone for that)

Larry knows the greatness of Staraptor, putting it in both of his teams.

12:32 I laughed my ass off when I realized the frosslass was called 'Frostitute'

"If the wings are still flapping shit is gonna die" great motto!!! 😂

I'm Adam by the way! Emily and I are getting married on September 14th ❤🎉 Thanks for the shout out Haydunn, I've been a huge fan since gen 4 😁

I'm not saying it's the future meta or anything, but in any singles format where there's a lot of gliscor I find it hilarious to have some mon with skill swap and take its poison heal from it xD

Staraptor in PU is some absolute mind-melting stuff. In no way should murderbird be in the same tier as the goofy@ss Goodra. This gen's tiers are ba-nan-as.

Staraptor (in my experience) can really only run one move set for the most part (double edge or tailwind but still very limiting) but the item and ability combo allows it to be a menacing pivot or a lategame sweeper with dangerous coverage. And since it's an unexpected pokemon, you'll usually find success catching people off guard with its potential.

I wouldn't say greatest, but it absolutely set the bar. Pelipper needed divine power to rise up afterwards, Talonflame shows they learned their lesson a bit, then Corviknight was another great one. I'd put Staraptor in top 3 easily, though.

My lunch has been made. Thanks man.

Sky Shaymin would be an interesting under used legendary to do a feature on, especially being able to cheese for flinches with kings rock and serene grace / air slash

I’m addicted to these

Staraptor and Swellow have always been my favorite early route birds. It got bodied in the anime by Paul’s Drapion but glad to see it getting some love again🔥

Damn that stall team was hard, bravo for staraptor

Staraptor is fine BUT Guts Swellow it's nuts with that STAB on Facade it's just chef kiss. Pair it with Rain dance or sunny day and you have a sweeper setter that can come in and out with U-turn and protect... This thing can be interesting in Doubles...

Haydunn out here showing that all mons deserve respect and im totally here for it! Love the vids man, keep up the great work! Always a banger especially when there 2 battles in 1 video!

Thanks for the lunchtime video. I always look forward to them.

Staraptor Was the first early bird that I actually liked. The birds before were just meh. Staraptor was the one who gave hope to having good early bird pokemon again. Cause then talonflame followed soon

I always watch your videos when I have downtime at work, thanks!

Early for Haydunn video, nice. Also I had no idea magic bounce worked that way with parting shot, that's super funny.

Curse Arcanine doesn't get the love it deserves... Awesome set

8:15 "idk there was a joke there somewhere" xD Omg Battle 1 went really wild with the mind games and predictions. Like, so funny lol

I was sold when I learned it had Close Combat. Having that much swag and a violent move not many rout birds have.

always cool to see a bird with a great haircut. big fan

Right as I get home, a new Haydunn video. Sweet.

Man, love ur vids. Inpired by your good and interesting builds I made my own team with only loved pokemons its: Meowscarada, Spidops, Oinkologne, Talonflame, Pawmot and of course Azumaril. It was hard at first to set them up, but later i adopted and started win a lot of games. Thank you bro for your inspiration.

Lunchtime goat uploading on time

Love Reckless Raptor ever since it was available. Thanks for spotlighting the Best and strongest starter Bird!

Great video! Kept me entertained as always (:

“Oh nooo, a steel type..” BOOM close combat 😂

i like ur vids because its easy edits, unlike some other rawer youtubers ones that feel like they waste my time, definitely recommend your channel to my friends

I like the idea of sending him back to the Cheetoh Realm. Kinda fun to think about. Hellsalad, Wanda (even though she isn't water type), I always love the names.

If the wings are still flappin, asses we'll be clappin

Ayyy! Congratulations Adam!

YES!!!! Staraptor is my favorite Pokémon of all time. One of the first mons I ever caught in all my Pokémon gaming

a lot of these videos make me feel old cuz these mons definitely were big stars in previous generations

I've actually done the parting shot tech on purpose to someone before! It is a very funny mechanic as a result of magic bounce.

Hwtdunn winning two games in a row makes my day

Scarf reckless Staraptor is no joke. Used em on my 1st mono team. All flying with Trainer name Flappers.

The mad scientist of poke battles has done it again!

ESPN is such a good name holy

Keep these videos coming brotha

Very cool team here. Lots of my favorite mons

I've always called this thing 'deathbird'. Because when it gets sent out, something will die. Granted, the joke is because it's got so many recoil and defense lowering moves, it might be that something. (98% brave bird into a blissey, takes 100% damage. XD) Either way, easily my favorite out of all the early game basic birds. Most of them become meh later on in the game, this one opens it's final evolution with close combat!

Staraptor is my second favorite Pokémon next to Empoleon, seeing this in my feed has made my day.

Dude, if you haven't already, I'd like to see you pull some shenanigans off with Toadscruel or Wugtrio. Both are some wacky reinvisionings of some first genners that I always thought deserved more love (obv. Dugtrio & Tentacruel)

that munkidori parting shot play is big brain xDDD

Staraptor first route 1 bird to not be complete ass

I was the first fight and was still fine tuning the team and this staraptor absolutely made me wanna make a team with him in it. Honestly want a rematch

Staraptor is my favourite pokemon. I have no idea why, it just is. I usually use it banded though. Brave Bird, CC, U turn and quick attack

that shout out was so wholesome

Lowkey Staraptor is my favorite early route bird , close second being Noctowl

Finally, my beloved Emo Bird.

The second match was one of the coolest to watch. The first half and the second half look like different games. The first half has the Tera and they both come at the same time (which is sick), and then they die and the second half is breaking through stall without gimmicks. It’s like to different matches almost because the pokemon in the first half disappear in the second. Pretty sick.

i love staraptor as a pokemon but the thing i hate is that it doesn’t have many status moves like bulk up or sword dance to boost itself further

Frostitute the Froslass made my day 😭😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Speaking of tying the knot.....Shoutout to Sam for taking care of our boy🙌

I'm literally in the middle of an all staraptor run on shining pearl and this pops up on my feed

I feel like Staraptor has a decent toolkit to go completely mental in the lategame but it keeps being overlooked on account of it being an earlygame bird. But Pelipper managed to ascend so there is some hope ^^

It's so weird to see staraptor in PU when it used to be OUBL and UU before.

Still the best commentary on RU-vid.

I played a tournament where you were given random teams at Liverpool Regionals 2023 and got scarfed Final Gambit Staraptor in one of my teams lmao (it goes so hard)

Staraptor went from the top to the very bottom, it’s insane because it never stopped being good.

Why didnt you curse on the obvious protect tho?

Hope you get to 400k subs

Hey I had a battle with you that day was really hoping you will post it ... but anyway it was really fun I was Pokecher with the dino team !!! by the way love staraptor!!!

"Frostitute" is HILARIOUS

the goat post

Ay ma boi Haydunn with the W. GG bro

My favorite early route birb

Finally some love for my boy

Frostitute. 😆 What a great name!

Not me taking all of these strat-mons and building a showdown team in OU. I have swept with both cacturne fell stinger and spicy extract chlorophyll scovillan. 😂

I love my reckless staraptor! Choice banded double edge or brave bird destroys all

“Oh no not a steel type, boom close combat”

I heckin love two games videos

BEST EARLY BIRD OF ALL TIME. THIS IS WHAT POKÉMON IS ALL ABOUT

such a great early route bird

Shaymin: ... huh task failed successfully

Babe wake up, Haydunn just posted

oh my gosh shaymin, I asked for the little dude and now hes here!

Staraptor has already been given the respect it deserve for decades now!! It's one of the most popular flying mon!! ☺️ Being OP since gen4

great vid! but about the thumbnail, that red and white bit represents ray of a rising sun, which is a simbol of japan during the second world war. to us east asians, thats an equivalent to the nazi's simbol. just wanted to point that out

I love using staraptor with reckless+adamant+ band it deals so much damage

Awesome video Great respects to the BIRD

Love the names

28:05 Ogerpon is Ogergone

I have always known Staraptor was criminally underrated

Whoever you are Adam, hope you two live a wonderfully fulfilling live full of happiness 🎉

Pelipper is the best early route bird, followed by Talonflame and THEN Staraptor! 👍🏻

Yo haydunn can you try to make smeargle with population bomb and bunch of set-up work?

Battling haydunn reminds of when I had an ou team and was 6-0 by a spiritomb😭😭

Staraptor is honestly so amazing.

Can you do galarian Slowking and galarian Birds videos soon ?

Imma name my froslass that now 😂😂

would love to see some doubles

Ah yes, a nice and powerful Staraptor

Larry would be proud

Asking for a Choice Band Gut Conkledurr. Do what you did with Zangoose. Those Mach punch would hurt so much.

frostitute lmaooooo love the names
