Starly (Japanese: ムックル, Hepburn: Mukkuru) (STAR-lee[1]) is a Normal/ -type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
Biology[]
Physiology[]
Starly are small bird-like Pokémon with a similar appearance to other bird Pokémon such as Pidgey, Taillow and Pidove. It has a small round body which is mainly brown-gray in color with white blotches on its face, chest and a single white feather on its tail while the others are black. There is a small feather located on the back of its head that curls up similar to its evolved forms, though less dramatic. It also has orange feet and an orange beak. If a Starly is shiny, it is light brown.
Behavior[]
A Starly is weak on its own, so it tries to go unnoticed to avoid being attacked. Starlys commonly appear in groups, though if the group is too large, fights break out between the different Starlys. When a Starly is in danger, it screeches loudly to try and scare off the threat. Although a Starly is small, its wings are strong enough to injure the target for up to a week.
Starly usually eat Bug-type Pokémon like Caterpie and Wurmple, but they may also eat Cherubi.
A Starly's favorite spot to be pet is its crest, whilst its least favorite is the beak.
Habitat[]
A Starly tends to inhabit field and forest areas. They prefer clear days.
Gender differences[]
A male Starly has a bigger face print than a female Starly.
Evolution[]
Starly evolves into Staravia starting at level 14.
