Starmie (JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a dual-type Water/Psychic Pokémon that made its first appearance in the first generation games Red and Blue. It evolves from Staryu when exposed to a Water Stone.
Physiology and Behaviour[]
Starmie is a Pokémon that resembles two violet starfish with five appendages each. The front starfish has a golden formation in the center. In the center of the golden casing is its red jewel core, which can glow in seven colors and has developed to resemble a cut precious stone. The second starfish is semi-attached to the back of the first and can spin 360 degrees. This rotational action is how Starmie swims through the ocean. It can also launch itself out of the water and fly through the air for short periods, as seen in Pokémon Snap.
From its core, Starmie can emit electrical waves that are powerful enough to reach the furthest parts of the universe. The multi-color glowing of its core is also believed to be a method of communication with other members of its species. As seen in the anime, the core will go dark if Starmie is knocked unconscious and will sometimes flicker if Starmie is low on health. Because of its body shape and habit of sending transmissions skyward, some people believe this Pokémon to be extraterrestrial. It is rarely seen in the wild since it requires a rare Evolution stone to evolve, but it can be found in the deepest parts of the ocean. It feeds by absorbing tiny plankton into its body while swimming, and it is preyed on by Lumineon.
Appearances[]
Main Pokémon games[]
Starmie is the signature Pokémon of Misty, the gym leader of Cerulean City.
Other Pokémon games[]
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity: Starmie runs the Sunken Treasure mini-game in Pokémon Paradise. In this mini-game, the player collects black, blue and red treasure chests by tilting their Nintendo 3DS. Chinchou and rocks appear as obstacles in this mini-game, and touching them deducts one treasure chest, starting with black chests. Unlike Treasure Boxes obtained from dungeons, they are opened upon obtaining. Starmie's mini-game can be played once every in-game day.
Super Smash Bros. series[]
When released from a Poké Ball, Starmie floats to the closest opponent and barrages them with Swift. Each hit does 3% damage, and touching Starmie itself does 12% damage. It has been replaced by its pre-evolved form Staryu in all future releases, in which it performs the same function.
Trophy descriptions[]
In the anime[]
Starmie debuted in The Water Flowers of Cerulean City, under the ownership of Misty. She used it in battle fairly often, but she tended to use her Staryu more, and almost every time she tried calling Starmie, Psyduck would show up instead. In The Misty Mermaid, she left it at the Cerulean Gym for her sisters.
