Other appearances

Super Smash Brothers Melee

When released from a Pokéball, Staryu will target one of the opponents, spin towards them and shoot Swift. Each hit only does 1% damage but it is hard to avoid once caught in Swift so the maximum damage of 23% is common.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Gold
At night, the center of its body slowly flickers with the same rhythm as a human heartbeat.
Pokémon Ruby
Staryu's center section has an organ called the core that shines bright red. If you go to a beach toward the end of summer, the glowing cores of these Pokémon look like the stars in the sky.
Pokémon Emerald
It gathers with others in the night and makes its red core glow on and off with the twinkling stars. It can regenerate limbs if they are severed from its body.

Trivia

Origin

It may just be a stylized seastar.

Name origin

Staryu's name is derived from star, referring to its shape, and yu, which may be a misspelling of you, in opposition to the mie in Starmie. The hitode in Hitodeman is probably derived from 海星, seastar.
