Staravia (Japanese: ムクバード Mukubird) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon.

It evolves from Starly starting at level 14, and evolves into Staraptor starting at level 34.

Biology

Physiology

Staravia has a small M pattern on its chest, likely for its Japanese name of Mukubird. Its eyes are bent inward to give an intimidating look to make its prey wary. They also have a crest on top of it's head.

Gender differences

The gray spot on a female's forehead is smaller.

Special abilities

Starvia have large wings that allow them to take flight for a long period of time. These wings can also allow Staravia to fly with much agility, which can come in handy when they are flying through forests.

Behavior

Staravia tend to live in large flocks with other Staravia or with other bird Pokémon, such as Starly and Swellow. If two rival Staravia meet, they may fight ferociously with each other. They spend a large amount of time each day preening their feathers, searching for food, or spending time with others of the colony.

Habitat

Staravia live in forests or plains.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Trivia

• Staravia's Platinum sprite is similar to its Diamond and Pearl sprite, the only difference its beak pointed straight instead of down.
  • Staravia having the almost same sprite with a game from the same generation is a trait shared with Pokémon from Generation II, where a few of them have the same sprites in all Generation II games.
