'''The Pichu Brothers''' (individually '''Pichu Big''' and '''Pichu Little''') are a pair of {{p|Pichu}} who live in a big city. They were first introduced in the third mini-movie ''[[Pikachu and Pichu]]'', where they met [[Ash's Pikachu]] who was lost after falling off a nearby building, in which [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] was planning a party celebrating the anniversary of [[EP001|when he and Pikachu first met]]. Pikachu and the Pichu Brothers went all throughout the town chased by a {{p|Houndour}} who eventually helped them when the local Pokémon Playhouse was collapsing.

Their next appearances were in another mini-movie, ''[[Camp Pikachu]]'', and also the [[Pokémon Channel]] special episode ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]'' as well as several [[Pokémon Chronicles]] episodes.

In ''Camp Pikachu'' they had an adventure where they were lost a long way from home after a train ride. However, with the help of [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]], the rest of Ash's Pokémon, and a {{p|Wynaut}}, they were able to catch a train back home again.

In ''Pichu Bros. in Party Panic'', [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] was going to throw a [[Meowth's Party|party]]. However, the Pichu Brothers and their friends had not recieved an invitation and so they went on a quest to find one. In the end, an {{p|Azumarill}} had their invitations all along and hadn't gotten around to delivering them yet.

==The Pichu Posse==
The Pichu Brothers have a group of friends that regularly take part in their adventures. These include:
*{{p|Smoochum}}
*{{p|Azumarill}}
*{{p|Wooper}}
*{{p|Magby}}
*{{p|Teddiursa}}

==Trivia==
The Pichu Brothers' designs are similar to [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Sparky]], as one has a scruff of hair atop its head while the other does not.
* The pichu with the little scruff on his head is the oldest. As in the pikachu short pikachu and pichu, the older was trying to save his little brother from falling off the flag pole.

==In the TCG==
The {{TCG ID|POP Series 3|Pichu Bros.|16}} also appeared in {{TCG|POP Series 3}} on their own card.

Staraptor evolves from {{p|Staravia}} at Level 34.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Staraptor bares a resemblance to a cross between a large gray and white starling and a hawk. It also shares similarities with the great-horned owl and harpy eagle. The "M" on the center of its chest resembles the first letter of its Japanese name (''Mukuhawk''). The downward 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===

==Behavior==
Staraptor are a highly aggressive and dangerous flying-type Pokémon. They often live alone, or with a mate. They are found during the day often soaring up high in the sky searching for prey below. In the mornings and the evenings, they are found at their favorite roost, preening or eating their catch. At night, they roost high in their favorite trees.

==Habitat==

Staraptor live in an array of habitats including open forest, grassland, wetland, mountains, and coniferous forests.

==Diet==
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Staraptor have the strength and the stamina to capture and eat prey larger than itself. They circle the prey from high above in the air, then dive and snatch up the prey then, finish it off with their sharp beaks.

=In the anime=
[[Image:AnimeMukuhawk.jpg|thumb|Staraptor in the anime]]
Staraptor first appeared in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage]]''. {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} unintentionally hit Staraptor with {{m|Bubblebeam}} and caused it to use {{m|Gust}} which wrecked [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab.

A Staraptor belonging to [[Reiji]] appeared in [[DP066]] and started teaching [[Ash's Staravia]] {{m|Brave Bird}}.

After [[J]] dropped {{Ash}} out of her airship in [[DP072]], he was saved by a Staraptor that [[Hajime]] had captured with his Capture Styler.
