Ash's Staravia (Japanese: サトシのムックル Satoshi's Mukubird) is the first Pokémon that Ash Ketchum caught in the Sinnoh region; it was a Starly. It is voiced by 古島清孝 Kiyotaka Furushima.

Ash caught Starly in DP002 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 DP003, Starly battled another Starly belonging to Shinji and lost. Despite proving itself to be more powerful than Ash's Starly, Shinji released his back into the wild, apparently disappointed with its performance.

In DP013, Starly evolved into Staravia during a battle with Team Rocket. Evolving has allowed it to grow much stronger and it is very useful in searches.
