Starly is a Normal/Flying type (very common typing that I have talked about way too much in past, overall a meh typing) and as far as design goes, it's a bit on the meh side also. Since Starly is just a regional bird that you encounter on an early route, it's not the best when it comes of course when it comes to stats/abilities/movepool, but it is actually nice to use for in game playthroughs. Overall, Starly is my favorite regional bird which is why I put it this high, however, just doesn't quite stand out as great as everything left.
Now Im waiting for Shellos, Kricketune, Buizel, Mantyke, Snower, Chatot, Bonsly, Mime Jr, Pachirisu, Shinx, Drifloon, Buneary and Mothim to be te next group of Pokemon to go
