Pokémon Champions’ latest update adds Mega Staraptor, whose Mega form gains Contrary (reversing stat buffs/debuffs) and shifts to a Fighting/Flying typing, making it an exceptionally dangerous top-tier pick in the battle simulator. Its boosted Close Combat synergy and dramatic in-battle interactions (like Incineroar’s Parting Shot sometimes boosting Mega Staraptor) underscore why players view the bird as one of the game’s deadliest threats.
