Starly (Japanese: ムックル Mukkuru) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon.

It evolves into Staravia starting at level 14 and then into Staraptor starting at level 34.

Biology

Physiology

Starly is a bird with a gray-colored body. The lower half of its wings as well as its head are black. Its face looks like it is wearing a white mask, with black eyes with white pupils as well as a thin orange beak with the tip of it painted black. On its chest is a white spot. Starly's feet are orange and also has three tailfeathers: two black and one white in the middle.

Gender differences

The white spot on a female's forehead is smaller.

Special abilities

Although small, they are described to flap their wings with great power.

Starly appears to have keen vision, as it possesses the ability Keen Eye, where its vision can't be marred whatsoever by any force.

Behavior

Starly are very complacent Pokémon, like most Template:Type2s. Cool and calm at nearly all times, they are also very sociable creatures, although they may bicker if their group becomes too big. Starly's calls are known to be very strident.

Habitat

Starly live in forests.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Starly appears to have an affinity with theYache Berry, as it is occasionally found with it. Starly has also been depicted to consume the acorn-like berries growing on the bushes of Grotle.

In the anime

Starly made its first animated appearance in Following a Maiden's Voyage, with one being examined at Professor Rowan's lab.

Continuing his Flying Pokémon tradition, Ash captured a Starly in Two Degrees of Separation. He used it to find Pikachu and it was then used to pop Team Rocket's balloon until it evolved in A Staravia is Born.

Paul captured three Starly in When Pokémon Worlds Collide. The first two were released because they didn't know Aerial Ace; although the third could use the move and easily beat Ash's Starly, Paul still deemed it weak and released it as well.

Brock healed a wild Starly in One Big Happiny Family!.

Starly was also seen under Reggie's care in Lost Leader Strategy!.

A Starly appeared in The Lonely Snover!. Another Starly appeared in Sliding Into Seventh!.
