In the early years of the Pokémon universe, when humans and Pokemon did not live in harmony, is when Pokemon Legends: Arceus took place. This game is set in the Hisui region of the Pokemon universe—later renamed Sinnoh.
The player will be tasked with joining the Survey Corps of the Galaxy Expedition Team (often referred to as the Galaxy Team) at Jubilife Village.
This team is in charge of researching Pokemon in the region. The player must catch every Pokémon in this region to fill out Hisui’s first Pokédex, which they use to research Pokemon.
In this guide, we will learn everything you need to know about Staravia!
Staravia
Staravia, the thirteenth Pokemon in the Hisuian Pokedex, is a Normal and Flying type Starling Pokemon with a bird-like black, white, and grayish-brown body, a black head with a grayish-brown circle marking on its forehead, a white face with a pattern of spikes on its edges, a pair of black eyes with white pupils, an orange beak with a black tip, a black upper body with a marking on its chest that looks like the letter ‘M,’ a long tuft of feather that curves up and forward on the back of its head, grayish-brown and black wings, black tail feathers with a white feather in the middle, and two feet equipped black talons. Staravias create big flocks and are constantly battling amongst themselves, according to their Pokedex entry in the game. The Staravia with plumes on their heads is considered the strongest ones.
Basic Information
Staravia is a Normal and Flying-type Pokemon. It has a weakness to Electric-type, Ice-type, and Rock-type moves (super effective), a resistance to Bug-type and Grass-type moves, and an immunity to Ghost-type and Ground-type moves (no effect).
If the player intends to lure it with food before catching it, Dazzling Honey, Hearty Grains, and Plump Beans are Staravia’s preferred foods.
If a Staravia is caught or defeated, the player will receive a Spoiled Apricorn and an Apricorn.
Staravia’s base stats are 55 HP, 75 Attack, 50 Defense, 40 Special Attack, 40 Special Defense, and 80 Speed for 340.
A Staravia is evolved from Starly when it reaches Level 14 and will evolve to a Staraptor when it reaches Level 34.
Location
Staravia can be found in the following locations:
Obsidian Fieldlands: in Nature’s Pantry, south of Tidewater Dam, in Sandgem Flats, in Deertrack Path, and Ramanas Island.
Cobalt Coastlands: in Gingko Landing, in Bathers’ Lagoon, in Deadwood Haunt, in Sand’s Reach, in Tranquility Cove, and south of Windbreak Stand.
Staravia can be found in the locations mentioned above in every weather condition but only here during the morning, midday, and evening.
An Alpha Staravia is located in Windswept Run (west of Height Camp or northwest of Nature’s Pantry) in the Obsidian Fieldlands and can be found at all times of the day and in every weather condition. The Alpha Staravia found in this location is a Level 32 Pokemon.
Aside from that, the player can find Staravia in Massive Mass Outbreaks in the Obsidian Fieldlands and the Cobalt Coastlands.
Research Tasks
The following are the Research Tasks in Staravia’s Pokedex entry:
Multiplier | Research Task | Objectives |
x2 | Number caught | 1/2/4/10/15 |
Number defeated | 1/3/6/12/25 | |
x2 | The number you’ve defeated with Electric-type moves | 1/2/4/6/10 |
Times you’ve seen it use Aerial Ace | 1/3/6/12/25 | |
Times you’ve given it food | 1/3/5/7/10 | |
Number of different forms you’ve obtained | 1 | |
x2 | Number you’ve evolved | 1/2/3 |
Except for Research Tasks with an x2 multiplier, which increases two Research Levels for completing one objective, the player must complete several objectives for a certain Research Task to raise a Staravia’s Research Level by one. To complete Staravia’s Pokedex entry, the player must reach Research Level 10.
To quickly complete Staravia’s Pokedex entry, the player can find and defeat six Staravias using Electric-type moves, which ticks the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth objective of the ‘number you’ve defeated with Electric-type moves’ Research Task, which has an x2 multiplier which immediately raises the Research Level to 10.
