Its Ability

Protect Wing

As long as Staraptor is your Active Pokémon, any damage done by attacks from your opponent's Stage 2 Evolved Pokémon is reduced by 20 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

Its attacks

Strong Breeze

Flip a coin. If heads, put 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon and all cards attached to it on top of your opponent's deck. Your opponent shuffles his or her deck afterward.

Clutch

The Defending Pokémon can't retreat during your opponent's next turn.

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.

A strength
It has an Ability, Protect Wing. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
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.
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.
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
