Ash's Staravia (Japanese: サトシのムクバード Satoshi's Mukubird) is the first Pokémon that Ash Ketchum caught in the Sinnoh region. It is voiced by 古島清孝 Kiyotaka Furushima. In English, Emily Jenness voices all members of its evolutionary line.

Ash caught it as a Starly in Two Degrees of Separation while searching for Pikachu, who was missing due to the antics of Team Rocket. Ash's Aipom was swinging through the trees and accidentally bumped into Starly, so the two Pokémon battled. Weakened by Aipom, Starly was captured and immediately used in the search for Pikachu.

In When Pokémon Worlds Collide, Starly battled another Starly belonging to Paul and lost. Despite proving itself to be more powerful than Ash's Starly, Paul released his back into the wild, apparently disappointed with its performance.

In A Staravia is Born, Starly evolved into a Staravia during a battle with Team Rocket. Evolving has allowed it to grow much stronger and it is very useful in searches.

Staravia was the only of Ash's Pokémon who didn't participate in Ash's first Sinnoh Gym battle, however, Staravia helped out in Ash's second Sinnoh Gym battle, defeating Gardenia's Cherubi.

Moves used

• Wing Attack
• Quick Attack
• Aerial Ace
• Gust

Trivia

• Despite the fact Ash's Staravia and other members of its evolution family know Gust, it is impossible for Starly, Staravia, or Staraptor to learn it in the games. It was a dubbing error; the move was supposed to be Whirlwind.
• For DP015, Professor Oak's lecture is about Ash's Staravia. He writes this Pokémon senryū about it: ムックルが　ムクムクしんか　ムクバード Mukkuru mukumuku-evolved; Mukubird
• Judging by the pattern on Staravia's head, it can be assumed that this Pokémon is male. However, its gender has not been officially confirmed.
