By Eclipse707Jun 22, 2026

Heavily based on Aaron Cyberton Zheng's 'Tickle Staraptor' Team, with some personal preference adaptations. Cybertron's Pokepaste of the original team: https://pokepast.es/0e2147e72cacc417 Burn Up is used over Overheat on Typhlosion, but isn't in this website's movepool as of this team's creation. This Team's Rental Code: FM00KUKX9U

Strategy

General strategy is go hyper offence, remove enough of opponents important game pieces with M-Staraptor to sweep, or use alternate leads to remove M-Staraptor counters early and clean up. Enough bulk on Basc to survive non Black Glasses Adamant Kingambit, and enough bulk on Chomp to survive opposing adamant Chomp's dragon claw, but is also Jolly so can't OHKO back, but does then outspeed.

Lead Options

Whims + Staraptor (main), Whims + Typhlosion, Whims + Gholdengo

Win Conditions

Mega Buff and sweep, or Cleanup after w/ Mega

Threats & Bad Matchups

Large Ice and Ghost weakness, Dark Weakness mitigated by threat of CC on M-Staraptor. Fairy Matchup isn't best, but definitely playable as long as Gholdengo is around. Not much water weakness but also not much threatening water offensive pieces like M-Blastoise or M-Swampert.
