StarlyDiamond & Pearl #101 Pokémon Card

Starly, the Starling Pokémon, is a Normal/Flying type introduced in Generation IV. This tiny avian creature is one of the first Pokémon trainers encounter in the Sinnoh region, often found flitting through forests and grasslands. Starly are known for their strong flocking behavior, forming large groups that can number in the hundreds. Despite their small stature, they are surprisingly powerful flyers, capable of impressive aerial maneuvers. Their diet primarily consists of small insects and berries, which they forage for diligently. Starly evolve into Staravia at level 14, and then into Staraptor at level 34, a formidable Pokémon known for its bravery and powerful attacks. In the games, Starly and its evolutions are popular choices for in-game teams due to their early availability and balanced stats. Ash Ketchum, the protagonist of the Pokémon anime, famously caught a Starly in the Sinnoh region, which eventually evolved into his powerful Staraptor, playing a significant role in many of his battles. Starly’s common appearance and endearing design have made it a recognizable and beloved Pokémon, symbolizing the early stages of a trainer's journey in Sinnoh.
