Staraptor (Japanese: ムクホーク Mukuhawk) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon.
It evolves from Staravia starting at level 34. It is the final form of Starly.
Biology
Physiology
Staraptor bears a resemblance to a cross between a large gray and white starling and a hawk. It also shares similarities with the harpy eagle. Staraptor’s plumage is mainly a brownish-gray, but has white coloration on its forehead, throat, and chest. It also has black coloration on its crest, neck, and chest pattern, and black tipping on the tailfeathers. The stylized "M" pattern on the center of its chest resembles the first letter of its Japanese name (Mukuhawk). The downward-facing, red-tipped crest on its head makes it appear larger in order to frighten its enemies.
Gender differences
A female has a smaller white spot on its forehead.
Special abilities
Staraptor have enough strength to carry a person on its back and fly to distant places. They can also fly at very high speeds, presumably around the speed of other fully-evolved Template:Type2 Pokémon such as Pidgeot or Swellow.
Behavior
Staraptor are highly aggressive and dangerous Template:Type2 bird Pokémon. Much like Taillow, Staraptor is a tenacious Pokémon, and never stops attacking even if it is injured. When Staravia evolve into Staraptor, they leave the flock to live alone. Staraptor fusses over the shape of its comb.
Habitat
Staraptor live in an array of habitats including open forest, grassland, wetland, mountains, and coniferous forests.

Trivia

- Staraptor is also the only Flying-type Pokémon that can learn Close Combat.
- Staraptor and its pre-evolutions are the only non-legendary Template:Type2s to learn Brave Bird via level-up. As a result, they are the only Pokémon that can pass the move on by breeding.
