Name: Starla Baker
Hometown: Mistralton City (Unova)
Specialist Type: Flying
Starla has always been a glory seeker. Having been trained at the Blueberry Academy, she formed her own little group known as the Devil Trio, and rose to the top of the Academy's own BB Pokemon League to become that year's champion. She even spent a bit of time with her posse in Kalos, getting really into the sky battle craze, and as anyone who met her during that time, she was really annoying about it.
Growing up in Mistratron really made Starla appreciate the flying type, so it's no wonder that it's her signature type. While her Minior and Ledian are good battlers, they're even better cheerleaders, championing their trainer. On the other hand, she boasts a number of powerhouses, including her Gliscor and Mega Evolving Staraptor, while her Bombirdier prefers to fight dirty. And that Gyarados is her pride and joy... just don't ask what it took to evolve it from a Magikarp.
On her free form team, it's very clear that Starla's team emphasises pure brute strength. You won't find a single status moves on her team, just pure damage. Ranging from the tanky bruisers like Nidoqueen and Garganacl, a Vikavolt that strikes it targets with powerful attacks from a distance, a Decidueye with a keen aim and powerful striking legs, as well as a Gengar that juggles a range of energy attacks. And if all else fails? She'll Mega Evolve her Dragonite and have it bulldoze through every Pokémon standing between her and victory.
Since arriving at Akkadios for the Pokémon world tournament, Starla has certainly made an impression... for better of worse. While she's tried her hand at network, she's already butted heads with fellow competitor Artemis, and now she's praying that she gets the chance to wipe that condescending look off her face. We kinda hope she remembers this tournament is supposed to be in good spirits.
