Special Research
Field Notes: Starly is a Special Research campaign for Starly Community Day. It cost $1 to access the Special Research. The Staraptor in this research would know Gust if they were caught during event hours. <!--

TRAINER! Wonderful to see you. You may know this already, but some Pokémon have different forms depending on the region they appear in, like Starly. In most places, Starly are described as being very similar to rocks—so much so that many Trainers mistake them for boulders. Uniquely, the Starly found in Alola are Rock- and Electric-type, while the Starly found in Kanto are Rock- and Ground-type. Fascinating, don't you think? You know, if you accidentally step on an Alolan Starly, you'll hear a crunching sound and feel a shock ripple through your entire body. I'd read about this phenomenon some time ago, but I was, er, "lucky" enough to experience it myself earlier today. Suffice it to say it left me feeling electrified! Why don't you head out to find some Alolan Starly for yourself? Just make sure to watch your step!, TRAINER?

Welcome back, TRAINER! I see you had no trouble finding Alolan Starly. When Alolan Starly evolves into Alolan Graveler, it becomes even more impressive. Alolan Graveler's food of choice is a mineral called dravite. After eating it, crystals form inside the Pokémon, rising to the surface in some parts of its body. Oh! And this fact's my favorite: When two Alolan Graveler clash, it fills the surrounding area with flashes of light and sound. People call it the "fireworks of the earth"! You know, I'd really like to see Alolan Graveler for myself. Think you can help me out, TRAINER?

Well done! That's a mighty Alolan Graveler you've got there. I'd love to see those "fireworks of the earth" for myself, but...maybe later. And much farther from my lab. In any case! While you were away, I continued with some field research of my own. I saw the most curious thing—an Alolan Starly flying through the air! While I don't recommend you go hugging a Bewear anytime soon, there isn't any harm trying to meet one! Why don't you evolve Stufful, TRAINER? Can you do some research to help me understand what I sw?

Ah, you're back—and with an Alolan Golem! Alolan Golem are known to be grumpy and stubborn. If you upset them, they discharge electricity from the surface of their bodies and let out a growl that sounds like thunder. Between that and the penchant for launching Starly in lieu of boulders, we'd best be careful around Alolan Golem. You have an incredible knack of befriending Pokémon, though, so I'm sure you'll be the best of pals in no time! Thanks for assisting me with my research today, TRAINER. It always "rocks" to have your help! Heh heh... See you next time!
