In ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'', a [[PokéRinger]] competition was held in [[Squallville]] where Ash entered and won with Staravia, who evolved into a Staraptor in the process. Shortly after his evolution, Staraptor learned Close Combat and defeated [[Paul's Honchkrow]], earning Ash his first victory over [[Paul]]. | In ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'', a [[PokéRinger]] competition was held in [[Squallville]] where Ash entered and won with Staravia, who evolved into a Staraptor in the process.

In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'' he was the second Pokémon in his Gym Battle against [[Candice]], going up against her Medicham, he was chosen as Ash wanted to attack from the air and had a type-advantage. His Quick Attack was countered by Medicham's {{m|Confusion}} and was then flung into the ground. His Aerial Ace was blocked but then used Close Combat against it, Medicham hit Staraptor with {{m|Fire Punch}} but then he knocked it out with Brave Bird. He was later recalled. He later went up against Candice's last Pokémon, {{p|Abomasnow}}. He went for an Aerial Ace but was blocked and was knocked out by a single {{m|Ice Punch}}. | In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'' he was the second Pokémon in his Gym Battle against [[Candice]], going up against her {{p|Medicham}}, he was chosen as Ash wanted to attack from the air and had a type-advantage.

He participated in {{Ash}} and [[Paul]]'s [[Full Battle]] in ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'' where he went up against {{TP|Paul|Torterra}} and [[Paul#Pokémon|Weavile]] after {{AP|Gliscor}} had previously battled the former. Paul had predicted that Staraptor would be used against Torterra next and kept it in long enough to immediately strike the Predator Pokémon with a [[Damage#Damage modification|super effective]] {{m|Stone Edge}} before switching for Weavile. Despite this and his type-disadvantage, he managed to defeat Weavile with Close Combat and Brave Bird, giving Ash the first win of the battle. He was then recalled afterwards. In ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'' he also fought against [[Paul's Ursaring]], but after dodging a {{m|Hammer Arm}}, hitting it with Aerial Ace, and surviving a {{m|Focus Blast}}, the Hibernator Pokémon stopped Close Combat with a direct hit from {{m|Slash}} and defeated him with the next Hammer Arm. | He participated in {{Ash}} and [[Paul]]'s [[Full Battle]] in ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'' where he went up against {{TP|Paul|Torterra}} and [[Paul#Pokémon|Weavile]] after {{AP|Gliscor}} had previously battled the former.
