Open What ability of Staraptor better for double?

[PokemonFan]

I try using Staraptor for my Double Battle team. At first i try using the Reckless one but a lot of my friends say the Intimidate one are suitable for double. What do you guy think? Which one fir the best?

Depends. Intimidate is HUGE in doubles, but you miss out on a lot of one shots.

It depends on how you play him and what pokemon you put him beside. If you put staraptor next to a bulkier pokemon, that pokemon is gonna LOVE the intimidate. However, reckless is more for choice band/scarf brave bird sweeping.

I try to use double intimidate by using choice scaft+uturn then switch to another intimidate like LandorusT

Seems pretty solid, then if you wanted to guarantee the win, you can follow with a belly drum pokemon xD

Belly Drum is very risky in double. Even if you can pull it out, there're always two pokemon that can strike you
