Welcome back, Trainers! In this article, we'll take a look at the Pidgeot family-equivalent of the Sinnoh Region, Starly and its evolutions.
STARLY
|
|
ATTACK: 101 |
DEFENSE: 58 |
STAMINA: 80 |
MAX CP: 603 |
Starly is the common bird of this generation. Because of this, we expect Starly to take 1KM to earn a Candy has a Buddy. We would not expect to find Starly in Eggs, but the common Pokémon of Hoenn have been in 2KM Eggs for some time now.
STARAVIA
|
|
ATTACK: 142 |
DEFENSE: 99 |
STAMINA: 110 |
MAX CP: 1170 |
Staravia and Starly are known for flying around in large flocks, with scuffles often breaking out between them. Staravia will leave the flock after they evolve into Staraptor.
STARAPTOR
|
|
ATTACK: 234 |
DEFENSE: 145 |
STAMINA: 170 |
MAX CP: 2675 |
PLACE IN THE META: Staraptor is going to be an interesting addition to the game. For a common Pokémon, its Attack is very high. If it gets some strong moves (such as Final Gambit and Close Combat, two moves it's known for using in the main-series games), it could be a decent Pokémon.
Staraptor is a Normal- and Flying-type. This makes it weak to Ice-, Electric-, and Rock-type attacks, as well as "immune" to Ground-type attacks.
LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Staraptor:
Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Staraptor:
Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Staraptor's movepool:
LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 4, Staraptor gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution.
