Staraptor

Definitely Sceptile

hmmm why not goodra?

Have you done Ash's Krookodile?

Ash’s Gliscor please!

True! I like Swellow quite a bit personally. noctowl is also very fun

I like rowlett, he's a god

It is my favorite pokemon he has

I wish he had Pidgeot longer, that probably would’ve been a very strong flying type for him for a long time. That and I just prefer Gen 1 more, I guess lol

He definitely lost a lot of focus once Gliscor came into the picture since he was more powerful and had a bigger personality, especially in the final battle since Gliscor was the one that defeated the final opponent of Staraptor

100% agreed haha

This will happen

Yeah unfortunately Staravia just had the worst type matchups, since the other bad matchup, Pikachu, was the ace, and new Iron Tail.

Agreed, seeing it flirt with the decoy and despair at the music was hilarious lol

@@ProfessorAlexSilver staraptor deserved better

It’s a big shock

Ash's most bird Pokemon are that of cool guys who are serious battlers XD

Staraptor supposed to emo type bird because of the hair...

Gible: Gible

@@ProfessorAlexSilver yup lmao

And lucario; athletic

@@robertbreschard3493 he came later

@@kushgodreturns5873 that’s my point it’s also a Pokémon native from the sinnoh

Birds ftw!

The next time is something new

Looks cooler that way I suppose lol

Lol

True

This is the way it was made

It looks much cooler in my opinion

I like it in the Bidoof video as well

Swellow was used on even more battles tho and had an additional arc unlike the other 2 Just look at the league ash even had a full battle against katy which was just a forgettable character And grovyle didn't evolve which makes swellow and corphish his best mons there

I think Ash and Swellow held different roles in battle oddly enough. Swellow was more of a scrappy speedy fighter. While staraptor ended up as a tanky hard hitting power house

Very true, Swellow was also a lightning rod lol

Ash’s lucario

Most def a great fit

Not really

Make it happen

Yes, but I feel as if Staraptor would fall into the same pitfall that lost him the match against Drapion, as Grapploct can intercept Staraptor using his tentacles just as Drapion did with his tail.

True!

Be sol will like this

On the list to cover :)

Worry no longer

Thanks Anthony! Haven't thought of Flock of Seagulls since i rewatched the Wedding Singer XD

Things like this are to the level

Honeymooners will like this

Very cool, it's a great early pick :)

That’s a great beginning

Would be interesting to see a disobedient bird some day

Tailow could have been that, but I think his defeat led him to respect Ash

@@ProfessorAlexSilver most likely. Pokemon can at any point decide to leave their trainers. We saw Pikachu almost do that in the beginning. And we've seen some cases of it briefly explored with chimchar Charmander and tepig. Even though they were registered to a different PokeBall they still went to ash. I don't think the anime will go into it much though since it's basically promotions for the game and the manga gets pretty dark

It's an epic bird of prey :)

I really dug the unique attacks it had

Detective pikachu has us make dumb choices as we grow

Hmmm, I argue Swellow ;)

@@ProfessorAlexSilver I get it. I personally prefer Talonflame, but that’s just because I knew about it first and then I found out about Staraptor and Swellow.

Yeah, Zac said Swellow was Ash's best bird and it deserves it, Staraptor is just a cheap copy

@@albinozoidberg3382 nah screw that Staraptor is true a bird swellow is is the cheap fan-made copy

@@comics4556 HAHAHAHA you clearly are being a troll cause A. Swellow came first, B. Staraptor doesn't even have anything going for it and C. Staraptor's PokeRinger battle against Paul is the exact same when Swellow did his, literally won the same way as Swellow by using its wing to hit the ring into the goal, talk about a cheap knock off. Everyone's thing with Staraptor is "oh it has a better moveset". Movesets don't matter in the anime, look at freaking Greninja's moveset, Water Shuriken, Aerial Ace, Cut and Double Team. In the game, all of those moves are under 60 power, but does that matter in the anime? No cause moves aren't defined by power, just how well they are used. Educate yourself before making a arguement you can't win

🤣🤣

I've always personally loved the fact that Staraptor could learn close combat, not just for the great and highly useful type coverage it provides, but also for the fact that it's not a move you typically see bird Pokemon being able to use often, making it feel more unique because of this

@@matthewkuscienko4616 it super effective on dark type Pokémon

I see what you did there he always says that when using Close Combat 😂

Hope you taught it some cool moves :)

7:10 staraptor is weak against ice types

Anytime!

The best

Then forgot about it when ash saw his talonflame uses it

Glad to hear it!

It’s so sad to not see it in journeys

Glad you enjoyed it! Look for one tonight :)

Ambipom must return to ash

I loved the Honchkrow battle as well. I think it would've been dope if they were long-term rivals and fought each other before they evolved

3 of its weakness, rock, ice, and grasssss. Via Brave Bird and Close Combat

@@TheRed02151 flying is weak to rock, ice and electric not grass

Swellow is the strongest of ashs birds

@@Isleptwithjesus idk his Talonflame was pretty strong and I think Staraptor was stronger than Swellow

That’s all a miracle

Great profile :)

@@robertbreschard3493 definitely hahaha

I experienced the same thing :) staraptor was more of a starter to me than my emploeon in Pokémon platinum

Thanks! Just gotta pause quickly for them haha

I like to see scraggy

Thanks! They're a blast to make :)

Very good comparison

Ash’s sir fetched

​@@ProfessorAlexSilverDouble Edge vs Close Combat man that would make my blood going.

We shall see!

He has been seen

Agreed. I think that's why they gave it the Nando battle so as to get at least one win

@@ProfessorAlexSilver if only Torterra got a win it really should've gotten at least one win fully evolved unfortunately it's forever known as the ash pokemon who kept getting worse evolving

That's how it's done!

After all it learned close combat

Better or worse than Swellow evolving in the Pokering?

Enjoy :)

Like this

Definitely a great fight with Honchkrow

Which

Ash should evolve his pignite

From shinx to luxio

Anime makes tackle look like giga impactt haha

@@ProfessorAlexSilver yeah🤣

Some day!

Me :)

Dragonite ? 😅

@@ProfessorAlexSilver I love Aerialate Gengar, ;D

Somehow his bird is the fighting type Sirfetched and not the flying type

It’s all the more then I get and hope have spare time with my work life

The regional bird in Journeys is Dragonite so you might have gotten your wish XD Jk, dragon would be cool on a new pokemon though!

@@ProfessorAlexSilver it’s a reptile

Great moves :)

Likewise haha

I expect nothing less XD

Very strong :)

@@ProfessorAlexSilver I’d honestly wager that staraptor might even help the other flyers with speed with aerial racing and other aspects though I wonder how rowlet’s addition to oak’s lab, if the alola team is ever sent even for a couple of days, could help get staraptor’s skills sharper

DP is a good one, in great part due to Paul & Chimchar's presence. Great storylines stemmed from them

Yup XD

Ultra class battles should like this

hahah

Definitely an awesome bird of prey

Some great scenes in Staraptor's history :)

This is cool

The worst is losing to meowth haha

This is cool

Same :)

Hope you liked it!

@@ProfessorAlexSilver it was great specially since both the normal & flying types are my favorites!.

Swellow pretty dope too :)

More to come!!

This is true

I could definitely see that

Would've been cool!

Definitely agreed (at least before Lake Acuity)

Weekdays at night (since I work). Mornings on weekends are easier ha

I have another sinnoh mon tonight, but not Toretta. Hope you enjoy!!

Nice! Level 100 is tough to get :)

Thanks!!

I love its design. I wish Ash had one

XD

Honestly, I'm all about it for the storylines themselves. I like the episodes, but I think it's fun to break down (what can potentially be hundreds of appearances) into a succinct storyline that cuts out everything but the meat. I used to read Wikipedia all the time when younger for the same reason

@@ProfessorAlexSilver Yeah I agree. It is nice to see what happend to a character you really cared for as a kid. Like even as an adult they have a small spot in your nostalgic heart. Oh man, I used to do the same with Warcraft lore when I was younger. Spending hours on the wiki to learn all the small juicy details. Sadly I no longer care for Warcraft, since the lore I used to love got changed, for something worse imo.

@@ProfessorAlexSilver Also thank you for making these video's, they are really well made and I want to see more :)

Jimmy would be fun!

Thanks!!

This is great

Thanks!!

@@ProfessorAlexSilver np

Birds can’t see glass

They will soon

I hope to cover both of them in the near future

🤣🤣

Hot take! 🔥

Late to the reply ,but thanks!

On the list :)

Same haha

It depends on what you think “strongest” Jack of all trades? Probably Swellow. Sheer power: probably staraptor or Hawlucha Cleverness and intelligence: noctowl. Speed: probably Swellow talonflame or Pidgeot? Luck: Rowlet 🥴

@@Lonewulf321 "luck: Rowlet" definitely 🤣🤣

@@TheTobiasburton4 he’s cute but my boy got too many lucky wins

I love how much of an impact Paul had on Ash's team. he's vital to Torterra, Infernape, Staraptor & Gliscor's storyline. He also has a big impact on Buizel, but not as memorable (beating him with ursaring and chastisting Ash for entering the Wallace Cup)

Yup!

Sure did

Thank you!! Appreciate the support 🙏

Definitely a powerhouse :)

Ash’s snorlax got his turn who will be next

That we do! It's a great platform :)

❤❤

:( :( :(

One of the biggest :)

Big for riding

Thanks so much! It's a labor of love so I'm glad you enjoy it :)

I’m brain dead

Hmm i suppose that's true

Thanks Duncan! Likewise :)

Nice! More decent vids to come :)

Likely this year!

Yup! It looks awesome :)

It definitely won’t be permanent

Considering the # of Pokemon, that's pretty good :)

Greatest bird of prey

I like Swellow most I think XD

Doing well Miles, thanks!

See ya then!

Can’t wait

Hope you enjoyed it!! I'm late to respond hehe

Thanks :)

Amazing

Thank you so much! That's awesome to hear
