Staraptor (Japanese: ムクホーク Mukuhawk) is a Normal/Flying-type Pokémon.

Staraptor evolves from Staravia at Level 34.

Biology

Physiology

Staraptor bares a resemblance to a cross between a large gray and white starling and a hawk. It also shares similarities with the great-horned owl. The "M" on the center of its chest resembles the first letter of its Japanese name (Mukuhawk). The downward crest on its head makes it appear larger in order to frighten its enemies.

Gender differences

A female has a smaller white spot on its forehead.

Staraptor in the anime

Staraptor first appeared in Following a Maiden Voyage. Piplup unintentionally hit Staraptor with Bubblebeam (Piplup was aiming to hit Chimchar) and caused a Gust (despite its species not being able to learn it) that wrecked Professor Rowan's lab.

Another will appear in DP066. It is said that Ash's Staravia will evolve.
