Starly (Japanese: ムックル Mukkuru) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon.
It evolves into Staravia starting at level 14, who evolves 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. Its 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
The muscles in Starly's wings are very strong, but are able to bend at the same time to give Starly flexibility when flapping its wings. This also gives it great power with its wings, so it is able to take off extremely quickly from the ground by angling its head up vertically and giving a big up-beat from its wings. This is its escape mechanism from predators.
Another characteristic of Starly is that its eyes are always focused on something. They have binocular eyesight, and can pick out great detail from 20 meters away. This gives Starly 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 and have a number of different calls and cries. Starly congregate here and there in flocks, sometimes in very large numbers, but some Starly spend half their time alone, or in a small group cut off from the main flock.
Due to their Template:A2, powerful muscles, and light bones, Starly are perfectly adapted to taking flight whenever needed, especially when spotted by a predator. This is where living in numbers benefits the whole group—30 pairs of eyes are better than one, and one Starly can disappear into a huge flock, making it extremely difficult for predators to lock onto one target when the whole flock takes off.
Starly are very sociable with their own species. However, they can also communicate with other species, namely Pidgey and Taillow, but more rarely Spearow. Starly's calls are known to be very strident, and over 50 different chirps and songs have been recorded.
Starly keep a small area, or space, rarely bigger than 5 meters by 5 meters or so, which they seem to defend ferociously to any who seem fit to intrude. They tolerate other species, and some territories may overlap, but fights break out when territories begin to run into each other.
Habitat
Starly are very common in large, green, well-tended gardens in the suburbs of modern towns. Large flocks congregate in adjoining backyards to make one "super-flock" which may take off elsewhere. Larger Starly are found in deciduous woodland and fields, where they are more likely to evolve to Staravia, which is more adapted to life in the open grasslands.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Starly's diet consists mainly of worms and grubs. Its long beak can prod through the earth to get at any worms hiding at least 6 inches below the surface. Starly also feed on nuts and seeds. They are occasionally found with the Yache Berry.
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!.
