Starly (ムックル, Mukkuru?) (STAR-lee[1]) is a Normal/Flying-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[]

Male Starly have bigger face stamps than females.

Evolution[]

Starly evolves into Staravia starting at level 14 and then evolves into Staraptor starting at level 34.

In "DP003: When Pokémon Worlds Collide!", three Starlys are caught by Paul, who released the first two because they did not know the move Aerial Ace. Paul used the third Starly in battle against Ash's Starly, and although Paul's Starly won, Paul still considered the Starly to be weak, so he released it.

In "DP029: The Champ Twins!", a Starly and its trainer appear at the Pokémon Training Camp.

In "DP038: One Big Happiny Family!", after Team Rocket stole Brock's Happiny, a Starly appears from the bushes with a Weedle, both having been injured by a sandstorm created by James' Cacnea, but the two Pokémon managed to recover with help from Brock and Nurse Joy.
