The thing is, it is very easy to obtain a Starly or a Staravia. It’s one of the common Pokémon in Sinnoh, and there aren’t any thresholds in points when it comes to obtaining a Staravia in Dream World. Staraptor may not be available in the wild, but it is considerably easy to level one up and its evolution is at a good level. Staraptor: easy to get, but one of the great offensive Pokémon. | The thing is, it is very easy to obtain a Starly or a Staravia.

Generally, the starter Pokémon are easy to get, since you can choose your starter in the beginning. Here, I am using Swampert as an example because it is a great Pokémon to use. Swampert’s advantages lie in the good power in its attacks in addition to its generally great bulk. With a great range of offensive moves, Swampert is a contender. Even its type combination is great because Grass is the only weakness, and Grass is not the best offensive type. | Generally, the starter Pokémon are easy to get, since you can choose your starter in the beginning.

You may think Regigigas is great because it’s hard to get, but it’s rather underwhelming considering it's such a challenge to capture. | You may think Regigigas is great because it’s hard to get, but it’s rather underwhelming considering it's such a challenge to capture. | ||

Phione is basically a lesser Manaphy, because it has less moves and lower stats than Manaphy, and it itself don’t have its own exclusive moves to differentiate itself from Manaphy. Needless to say, there is not much reason to use Phione over Manaphy, and even then, there are other Pokémon better than Phione in pretty much any role. It is actually not easy to get Phione itself. Obtaining Manaphy is already not an easy task because you need a Pokémon Ranger game to finally get the egg to transfer. As for Phione, you need to do an extra step to get it, which is to breed Manaphy with Ditto. This is an appropriate difficulty to get Manaphy, but for Phione, this obtained method is considered troublesome. Still, you can possess an unlimited supply if you so desire. | Phione is basically a lesser Manaphy, because it has less moves and lower stats than Manaphy, and it itself don’t have its own exclusive moves to differentiate itself from Manaphy.
