Wich is better?Swellow or Staraptor
I think its Swellow because of its speed and ability (guts)
Give your opinnion

I prefer although Staraptor would probably win with intimidate and close combat.

Swellow is faster and if it hold flame orb will become more strong (250 attack---250 att+fire orb = 375 att)
fist use protect than use facade
but if the staraptor has focus sash it will win

Pidgeot
did i get it right?

I like Swellow better.
I choose between looks first, then stats. (Regions also come into play with me...)

I prefer Staraptor. I've got one in my in game team at the moment, (just for fly).

Also, shouldn't there be a poll to go with this?

i think staraptor looks cooler

I think its swellow

I like swellow, it's... cool
But they're both pretty much the same, in terms of battling.

Waiting for someone to prove me wrong.

i really think swellow is better

staraptor is better in battle,
it has better overall stats,
and its more likely 2 suvive in the long term
where as swellow would most likely go down in 1 hit...
plus staraptor has close combat which is useful if u ask me

hmm swellow is also gd though,
mostly cause of its speed
and only with facade, a burn + guts,
still my choice would be staraptor...

staraptor

Staraptor out paces Swellow in terms of speed. As for attack, even though it lacks guts, Intimidiate helps protect the bird from fatal attacks, since it boasts poor def and sp. def stats. So I'm siding with the Sinnoh birdie on this one.

staraptor is really strong but i think
sweelow, with his ability guts is a great
pokemon and beteer than staraptor

Staraptor wins with me on this one.
Swellow never held me any justice.

I would choose Staraptor over Swellow, even though I like them both. I use a Staraptor in my Pearl team and has great use for me. I have used a Swellow before too.

Staraptor is better, because he's cooler.

Really, I have nothing more behind that statement than what's there.

But Staraptor is stronger

Lol, that was what I was hoping to hear
Pidgeot FTW

Also, Noctowl is pretty good for a bird-type. It has the ability to learn Psychic type moves [and Shadow Ball, for that matter], which could free up a slot in your team.
He's a bit slower than Staraptor, and his ATK and DEF are lower, but he really doesn't use them with a Psychic movelist [Fly would relly on ATK, however] and a weakness to mainly Special type attacks [Electric, Ice]. Also, Noctowl's HP, SpATK, and SpDEF are well above both Staraptor and Swellow.

Plus, he looks kinda like and old man...

if i can i would like to put aerodactyl in the mix of this or even skarmory or even gligar.is the best. hes part groung so someone has to have an ice type move or a water move to beat him. so im choosing gligar. but out of Staraptor VS. swellow. i choose Staraptor because of brave bird. thats a cool move and a n effective one as well.

Staraptor is much stronger and has much more balanced stats. While Swellow is faster at 120 base speed, Staraptor has 35 more base attack, and far better defenses. Also, Staraptor can damage rock and steel types, something Facade Swellow can barely hope of doing, with Close Combat. As such, Staraptor is better.

Okay but in a fight one against other staraptor only win if it is holding focus sash or either focus band...
I keep my opinion about swellow...he is better...

I think staraptor! Probably because I love staraptor in pokemon pearl

Staraptor. :/

Ill go for Swellow.

Swellow, but i like how Staraptor looks.

I prefer Staraptor, because of it's Intimidate and just because it's one of my favorites ^^

i like staraptor better but thats mainly because of its looks.
in all fairness, swellow has got the better stats.

And in my oppinion swellow looks cooler than staraptor when its shiny...shiny swellow is more beautifull than shiny staraptor...
Swellow rules.

I like staraptor better. No particular reason apart from it just looks cooler..

Staraptor for me looks cooler and helped me a lot in platinum

I say because it can learn fighting type moves which can help against ice,rock,and normal types.

Swellow looks better, but Staraptor is more powerful. Tough decision, but I'll go with Swellow.

Staraptor

I'mma have to go with Swellow.

I say Staraptor.

Swellow FTW!
