Staravia Description

Staravia is the evolved form of Starly and the middle stage before Staraptor. It is a Normal and Flying-type Pokemon that appears often in Sinnoh and other regional routes.

Competitive Overview

Is Staravia Good in Competitive?

Staravia is usually more useful during a story playthrough than in high-level competitive formats. Intimidate gives it helpful defensive utility, while Flying-type moves let it pressure Grass, Bug and Fighting-type Pokemon.

Staravia’s main strengths are its Speed, access to useful Flying moves and its ability to evolve into Staraptor. Its biggest issues are its lower bulk and weaknesses to Electric, Ice and Rock-type attacks.
