Trivia

• Hayley offers a Staravia that was caught at level 2 on Route 201; however, it is impossible to obtain a Staravia at the level or location. Clearly it was caught as a Starly; she offers it at level 23.

Origin

Staravia is based on an adult starling. However its features seem to be based more on an adult Northern lapwing.

Name origin

Starling and avian, which refers to birds. Mukubird is derived from 椋鳥 mukudori, gray starling, and the English word bird.

In other languages

• German: Staravia
• French: Etourvol - From étourneau (starling) and vol (flight).
• Korean: 찌르버드 Jjireubird
• Chinese (Taiwan): 姆克鳥 Mǔ Kè Niǎo - Transliteration of its Japanese name. The last character means bird.
