Staraptor (Japanese: ムクホーク Mukuhawk) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon.
It evolves from Staravia starting at level 34. It is the final form of Starly.
Biology
Physiology
Staraptor bears a resemblance to a cross between a large gray and white starling and a hawk. It also shares similarities with the 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
Staraptor have enough strength to carry a person on its back and fly to distant places. They can also fly at very high speeds, presumably around the speed of other fully-evolved Template:Type2 Pokémon such as Pidgeot or Swellow.
Behavior
Staraptor are highly aggressive and dangerous Template:Type2 bird Pokémon. They often live alone, or with a mate. They are found during the day often soaring 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 article: Pokémon food

In the anime

After J dropped Ash out of her airship in Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part Two, he was saved by a Staraptor that Kellyn had captured with his Capture Styler.
Jun used a Staraptor in a battle against Ash's Chimchar. It appeared again in DP110.
