Its attacks

Accelerative Dive

30

Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing. If heads, prevent all damage done to Staraptor by attacks (both yours and your opponent's) until the end of your next turn.

Brave Heart

100

Flip a coin. If tails, Staraptor does 100 damage to itself.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    Accelerative Dive hits for 30 on 1 Energy. Nothing in Diamond & Pearl hits harder for that price.

  2. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  3. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Staravia to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Lightning +30. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 336 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.

When it came out
