Build Notes
Mega Staraptor's Contrary ability reverses all stat changes, turning Intimidate attack drops into boosts and Close Combat's defense drops into defense increases. Jolly nature with 32 Atk and 32 Spe allows it to outspeed Jolly Garchomp, Timid Charizard Y, and Adamant Flutter Mane, while max Attack ensures strong immediate damage. Behind Grimmsnarl's dual screens, the Close Combat defense loops let Staraptor accumulate bulk over multiple turns. Roost provides recovery to extend its presence, and Tailwind supports the rest of the team's speed control.
