Trophy information
"A Starling Pokémon. It usually lives and travels in large flocks, so a single Starly will go unnoticed. To make up for this, its call is very noisy. It can often be found in places with heavy vegetation. Its small frame and cute appearance belie the incredible power with which it flaps its wings. When it levels up, it evolves into Staravia."

Trivia
- In Generation V games, Starly's Hidden Ability is the same as its first Ability, Keen Eye, unlike its evolutions, which have the Hidden Ability Reckless. A Starly that evolves into a Staravia with Reckless can be bred to produce Starly that will evolve into a Staravia with Reckless. If a Starly that will evolve into a Staravia with Reckless is transferred to the Generation VI games, its Ability will become Reckless.
- This means that in Generation V, Starly is the only unevolved Pokémon without a Hidden Ability that evolves into a Pokémon with a Hidden Ability.
- Overworld sprites of Starly are shown in the intro of Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum and before the player and their rival encounter them in battle. They are the only non-Legendary Pokémon to have overworld sprites in Diamond and Pearl that are not allowed in Amity Square.
- Starly is tied with Wingull, Pikipek, Taillow, Ledyba, Hoothoot, and Spearow for the lowest base Defense of all Flying-type Pokémon.
- It is also tied with Pikipek, Wingull, and Pidove for the lowest Special Defense of all Flying-type Pokémon.
Origin
Starly is based on a young white-cheeked starling.
Name origin
Starly is derived from starling.
Mukkuru is a combination of 椋鳥 mukudori (gray starling) and クルクル kurukuru (onomatopoeia of a bird's call).
