Ash's Staravia (Japanese: サトシのムクバード Satoshi's Mukubird) is the first Pokémon that Ash Ketchum caught in the Sinnoh region. He is voiced by 古島清孝 Kiyotaka Furushima. In English, Emily Jenness voices all members of his evolutionary line.

Ash caught he as a Starly in Two Degrees of Separation 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 When Pokémon Worlds Collide, Starly battled another Starly belonging to Paul and lost. Despite proving itself to be more powerful than Ash's Starly, Paul released his back into the wild, apparently disappointed with its performance.

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

Staravia was the only of Ash's Pokémon who didn't participate in Ash's first Sinnoh Gym battle, however, Staravia helped out in Ash's second Sinnoh Gym battle, defeating Gardenia's Cherubi.

Trivia

  • Despite the fact Ash's Staravia and other members of his evolution family know Gust, it is impossible for Starly, Staravia, or Staraptor to learn it in the games. This error was also present in the Japanese version. He knew Gust since he was a Starly. It was changed to Whirlwind in the English dub, in the episode Ash caught Starly in; but forgot to change it in other episodes, like in All Dressed Up with Somewhere to Go! and so on. It was changed back to Whirlwind during One Big Happiny Family!.
  • For DP015, Professor Oak's lecture is about Ash's Staravia. He writes this Pokémon senryū about him: ムックルが ムクムクしんか ムクバード Mukkuru mukumuku-evolved; Mukubird
  • Judging by the pattern on Staravia's head, it can be assumed that this Pokémon is male. However, his gender has not been officially confirmed. It also seems to have quite a feminine voice in the English dub.
