Collector Insights

Staraptor is a Colorless-type Pokémon with 140 HP and a Rare rarity, featured in the Sun & Moon series under the Crimson Invasion set released on November 3, 2017. Its design is attributed to artist Sekio, and its flavor text highlights its physical strength, emphasizing its ability to fly while gripping a small Pokémon. The card has a retreat cost of one Colorless energy and a converted retreat cost of one, making it relatively easy to deploy. Staraptor’s attacks include "Clutch," which costs two Colorless energy to deal 50 damage and prevents the defending Pokémon from retreating during the opponent’s next turn. The second attack, "Sky Hunting," requires four Colorless energy to deal 120 damage and allows switching with a benched Pokémon if the opponent’s Pokémon is knocked out. It resists Fighting-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Lightning-type attacks with double damage. The card’s design and mechanics align with its thematic focus on aerial agility and combat versatility.

The muscles in its wings and legs are strong. It can easily fly while gripping a small Pokémon.
