The '''Cave of Origin''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|目覚めのほこら|めざめのほこら}}''' ''{{wp|Hokora|Shrine}} of Awakening'') is a cave near the north end of [[Sootopolis City]]. It is guarded by [[Wallace]] of [[Sootopolis Gym]] and is said to be the cave where life begins. Its opposite landmark is [[Mt. Pyre]], said to be the place where life ends.

Here, the {{player}} will discover {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/6|AS}} in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} after an encounter at the [[Seafloor Cavern]] and a face-off against [[Team Magma]]{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/6|AS}}.

Residents of Sootopolis are not permitted to enter the Cave of Origin.

In {{game|Emerald}}, the Cave of Origin is where Wallace can be found debating where {{p|Rayquaza}} [[Sky Pillar|is located]], until the player gives him a hint that it is at the Sky Pillar. However, the player cannot enter the cave, even after awakening Rayquaza.

==In the anime==
The Cave of Origin was mentioned in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme!]]''. A group of [[Team Magma]] members led by [[Tabitha]], and a group of [[Team Aqua]] members led by [[Shelly]], initially mistook a set of ruins on [[Dewford Town|Dewford Island]] for the Cave of Origin. When they failed to find what they were looking for from the ruins, they understood their mistake and left.

==In the manga==
[[File:Cave of Origin Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Cave of Origin in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
The Cave of Origin was first mentioned in ''[[PS224|I More Than Like You, Luvdisc II]]'', where [[Wallace]] was revealed to be its guardian.

In ''[[PS250|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XII]]'', {{Steven}} revealed that {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} were headed to [[Sootopolis City]] because the Cave of Origin would allow their minds to awaken now that their bodies had been awakened.

The Cave of Origin first appeared in ''[[PS261|It All Ends Now II]]'', where {{adv|Ruby}} and [[Courtney]] stood in front of it while preparing to use the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s in an attempt to stop Groudon and Kyogre's fight. In ''[[PS262|It All Ends Now III]]'', Courtney was suddenly pulled into the cave by a {{p|Tentacruel|tentacle}}, just as its entrance collapsed on top of her, killing her.

In ''[[PS264|It All Ends Now V]]'', [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]] emerged from the cave after Ruby and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} had succeeded in stopping Groudon and Kyogre, swiping the Orbs and intending to restart the crisis.

In the [[Chuang Yi]] translations of Pokémon Adventures volumes {{FB|Pokémon Adventures volume|19}}, {{FB|Pokémon Adventures volume|20}}, and {{FB|Pokémon Adventures volume|21}}, the [[Seafloor Cavern]] was incorrectly referred to as the Cave of Origin.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the player can reenter the cave after capturing or defeating Groudon/Kyogre. In {{game|Emerald}}, the entrance is blocked for the rest of the game after awakening Rayquaza in Sky Pillar.
* In Ruby and Sapphire, the cave is dark but can be illuminated by {{m|Flash}}. In other games, the cave is normally lit.
* Although the Cave of Origin was reduced in size for {{game|Emerald}}, data for the removed floors still exists in the game's code.
* In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]], {{p|Pineco}} is said to be found in the Cave of Origin in FireRed. The guide likely meant to say [[Altering Cave]], which can be found in FireRed and LeafGreen, but Pineco can only be found there with an event distribution that was never distributed.
* In the Generation III games, no background music plays on the bottom floor of this cave. In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the only other area in the game that shares this distinction is the [[Inside of Truck]]. (In Pokémon Emerald, [[Birth Island]] also has no background music.)
** As a result, if a Pokémon evolves or an {{pkmn|Egg}} hatches here in these games, the evolution background music will play on the floor until the player leaves.
* In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the player's [[PokéNav Plus]] will be unusable in the bottom floor due to electrical interference from the intense natural energy in the room.

The '''Seafloor Cavern''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|海底洞窟|かいていどうくつ}}''' ''Seabed Cavern'') is a location in [[Hoenn]], deep beneath the water of {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. After surfacing inside the cave, there is a maze of tunnels to the deepest part, where the [[super-ancient Pokémon]] resides.

In order to reach it, the {{player}} must use {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Dive}}. Additionally, in {{game|Emerald}}, a [[Team Aqua Grunt]] will block access to the deeper rooms from the entrance until after [[Team Magma]] is defeated at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]]. Inside, {{m|Strength}} is required for navigation; there are also [[breakable rock]]s, which cause {{m|Rock Smash}} to be required for navigation in the Generation III games, but not the Generation VI games.

In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby]] and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]], the cavern is the home of {{p|Groudon}}, who slumbers at its deepest part; in Pokémon [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Sapphire]], Emerald, and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]], the cavern is the home of {{p|Kyogre}}, who slumbers at its deepest part (in Pokémon Emerald, Groudon slumbers within the [[Magma_Hideout_(Jagged_Pass)|Magma Hideout]], deep inside of the caverns of [[Mt. Chimney]]).

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the stolen [[Submarine Explorer 1]] is parked at the bottom of the underwater area underneath the Seafloor Cavern. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the stolen Submarine Explorer 1 is parked at the shore in the entrance chamber of the Seafloor Cavern.

In the deepest part, [[Maxie]]{{sup/3|Ru}}{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Archie]]{{sup/3|Sa}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|AS}} will attempt to control the super-ancient Pokémon using the orb he stole from [[Mt. Pyre]]. However, the Pokémon does not respond well, and instead will escape, causing [[harsh sunlight]]{{sup/3|Ru}}/extremely harsh sunlight{{sup/6|OR}} or [[rain]]{{sup/3|Sa}}/heavy rain{{sup/6|AS}} throughout eastern Hoenn; in Emerald, both rain and harsh sunlight appear, alternating back and forth at regular intervals.

===Pokémon Generations===
The Seafloor Cavern briefly appeared in a vision by [[Courtney]] in ''[[PG07|The Vision]]''. Although the interior of the cavern wasn't shown, the top was depicted as a rocky island protruding from the water. At this rocky island, [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} appeared and attacked [[Team Magma]].

It properly appeared in ''[[PG08|The Cavern]]'', where it was shown that Team Aqua also visited it. [[Archie]], [[Shelly]], and three {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}s went deep inside the cave and found a room where {{p|Kyogre}} was resting. Archie woke it up with the [[Blue Orb]], after which Kyogre transformed into Primal Kyogre and started to go on a rampage throughout the Hoenn region.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
The Seafloor Cavern first appeared in ''[[PS233|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon I]]'', where [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] arrived there together thanks to them forming a temporary alliance to combine the [[Submarine Explorer 1]], which had been stolen by Team Magma, with its [[Devon Parts|heart component]], which had had been stolen by Team Aqua, allowing them to dive deep enough to reach the undersea cave.

In ''[[PS234|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon II]]'', [[Maxie]] awakened {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} by using the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s, intending to give Groudon the advantage. However, in ''[[PS242|Very Vexing Volbeat]]'', Maxie started to struggle, as controlling two Legendary Pokémon at the same time started to take too much of his mental capacity. As such, he had the Blue Orb be taken away by [[Tabitha]] so that he could focus on controlling Groudon. While doing what he had been ordered to do, Tabitha was ambushed by {{adv|Amber}}, who used his {{p|Volbeat}}'s {{m|Trick}} to steal the Blue Orb and deliver it to [[Archie]]. Archie then locked both Amber and Tabitha inside the Submarine Explorer 1 and sent it to dive on autopilot without its heart component in order to do away with the men inside.

In ''[[PS243|No Armaldo Is an Island]]'', {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} reached the Seafloor Cavern thanks to Sapphire's {{p|Relicanth}}, Relly. They started battling against Archie and Maxie, but were unable to retrieve the Orbs before the two {{cat|villainous team leaders}} were overcome by their power and ended up fusing with them. Maxie and Archie then grabbed Ruby and Sapphire, and started to fly away, the Orbs' powers being called by Groudon and Kyogre.

In ''[[PS264|It All Ends Now V]]'', Kyogre was revealed to have returned to slumber in the Seafloor Cavern, while Groudon had chosen to sleep inside [[Mt. Chimney]] instead.

The Seafloor Cavern was erroneously called the "[[Cave of Origin]]" in the [[Chuang Yi]] translations of Pokémon Adventures volumes {{FB|Pokémon Adventures volume|19}}, {{FB|Pokémon Adventures volume|20}}, and {{FB|Pokémon Adventures volume|21}}.

==Trivia==
* The Seafloor Cavern makes an appearance as a backdrop when a Pokémon from [[Hoenn]] is used in the [[Alola Photo Club]] in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]].

The '''Seafloor Cavern''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|海底洞窟|かいていどうくつ}}''' ''Seabed Cavern'') is a location in [[Hoenn]], deep beneath the water of {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. After surfacing inside the cave, there is a maze of tunnels to the deepest part, where the [[super-ancient Pokémon]] resides.

In order to reach it, the {{player}} must use {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Dive}}. Additionally, in {{game|Emerald}}, a [[Team Aqua Grunt]] will block access to the deeper rooms from the entrance until after [[Team Magma]] is defeated at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]]. Inside, {{m|Strength}} is required for navigation; there are also [[breakable rock]]s, which cause {{m|Rock Smash}} to be required for navigation in the Generation III games, but not the Generation VI games.

In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby]] and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]], the cavern is the home of {{p|Groudon}}, who slumbers at its deepest part; in Pokémon [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Sapphire]], Emerald, and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]], the cavern is the home of {{p|Kyogre}}, who slumbers at its deepest part (in Pokémon Emerald, Groudon slumbers within the [[Magma_Hideout_(Jagged_Pass)|Magma Hideout]], deep inside of the caverns of [[Mt. Chimney]]).

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the stolen [[Submarine Explorer 1]] is parked at the bottom of the underwater area underneath the Seafloor Cavern. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the stolen Submarine Explorer 1 is parked at the shore in the entrance chamber of the Seafloor Cavern.

In the deepest part, [[Maxie]]{{sup/3|Ru}}{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Archie]]{{sup/3|Sa}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|AS}} will attempt to control the super-ancient Pokémon using the orb he stole from [[Mt. Pyre]]. However, the Pokémon does not respond well, and instead will escape, causing [[harsh sunlight]]{{sup/3|Ru}}/extremely harsh sunlight{{sup/6|OR}} or [[rain]]{{sup/3|Sa}}/heavy rain{{sup/6|AS}} throughout eastern Hoenn; in Emerald, both rain and harsh sunlight appear, alternating back and forth at regular intervals.

[[File:Seafloor Cavern exterior PG.png|thumb|250px|Seafloor Cavern in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
===Pokémon Generations===
The Seafloor Cavern briefly appeared in a vision by [[Courtney]] in ''[[PG07|The Vision]]''. Although the interior of the cavern wasn't shown, the top was depicted as a rocky island protruding from the water. At this rocky island, [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} appeared and attacked [[Team Magma]].

It properly appeared in ''[[PG08|The Cavern]]'', where it was shown that Team Aqua also visited it. [[Archie]], [[Shelly]], and three {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}s went deep inside the cave and found a room where {{p|Kyogre}} was resting. Archie woke it up with the [[Blue Orb]], after which Kyogre transformed into Primal Kyogre and started to go on a rampage throughout the Hoenn region.

[[File:Seafloor Cavern Adventures.png|thumb|300px|Seafloor Cavern in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
The Seafloor Cavern first appeared in ''[[PS233|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon I]]'', where [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] arrived there together thanks to them forming a temporary alliance to combine the [[Submarine Explorer 1]], which had been stolen by Team Magma, with its [[Devon Parts|heart component]], which had had been stolen by Team Aqua, allowing them to dive deep enough to reach the undersea cave.

In ''[[PS234|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon II]]'', [[Maxie]] awakened {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} by using the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s, intending to give Groudon the advantage. However, in ''[[PS242|Very Vexing Volbeat]]'', Maxie started to struggle, as controlling two Legendary Pokémon at the same time started to take too much of his mental capacity. As such, he had the Blue Orb be taken away by [[Tabitha]] so that he could focus on controlling Groudon. While doing what he had been ordered to do, Tabitha was ambushed by {{adv|Amber}}, who used his {{p|Volbeat}}'s {{m|Trick}} to steal the Blue Orb and deliver it to [[Archie]]. Archie then locked both Amber and Tabitha inside the Submarine Explorer 1 and sent it to dive on autopilot without its heart component in order to do away with the men inside.

In ''[[PS243|No Armaldo Is an Island]]'', {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} reached the Seafloor Cavern thanks to Sapphire's {{p|Relicanth}}, Relly. They started battling against Archie and Maxie, but were unable to retrieve the Orbs before the two {{cat|villainous team leaders}} were overcome by their power and ended up fusing with them. Maxie and Archie then grabbed Ruby and Sapphire, and started to fly away, the Orbs' powers being called by Groudon and Kyogre.

In ''[[PS264|It All Ends Now V]]'', Kyogre was revealed to have returned to slumber in the Seafloor Cavern, while Groudon had chosen to sleep inside [[Mt. Chimney]] instead.

The Seafloor Cavern was erroneously called the "[[Cave of Origin]]" in the [[Chuang Yi]] translations of Pokémon Adventures volumes {{FB|Pokémon Adventures volume|19}}, {{FB|Pokémon Adventures volume|20}}, and {{FB|Pokémon Adventures volume|21}}.

==Trivia==
* The Seafloor Cavern makes an appearance as a backdrop when a Pokémon from [[Hoenn]] is used in the [[Alola Photo Club]] in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]].

The '''Cave of Origin''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|目覚めのほこら|めざめのほこら}}''' ''{{wp|Hokora|Shrine}} of Awakening'') is a cave near the north end of [[Sootopolis City]]. It is guarded by [[Wallace]] of [[Sootopolis Gym]] and is said to be the cave where life begins. Its opposite landmark is [[Mt. Pyre]], said to be the place where life ends.

Here, the {{player}} will discover {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/6|AS}} in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} after an encounter at the [[Seafloor Cavern]] and a face-off against [[Team Magma]]{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/6|AS}}.

Residents of Sootopolis are not permitted to enter the Cave of Origin.

In {{game|Emerald}}, the Cave of Origin is where Wallace can be found debating where {{p|Rayquaza}} [[Sky Pillar|is located]], until the player gives him a hint that it is at the Sky Pillar. However, the player cannot enter the cave, even after awakening Rayquaza.

==In the anime==
The Cave of Origin was mentioned in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme!]]''. A group of [[Team Magma]] members led by [[Tabitha]], and a group of [[Team Aqua]] members led by [[Shelly]], initially mistook a set of ruins on [[Dewford Town|Dewford Island]] for the Cave of Origin. When they failed to find what they were looking for from the ruins, they understood their mistake and left.

==In the manga==
[[File:Cave of Origin Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Cave of Origin in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
The Cave of Origin was first mentioned in ''[[PS224|I More Than Like You, Luvdisc II]]'', where [[Wallace]] was revealed to be its guardian.

In ''[[PS250|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XII]]'', {{Steven}} revealed that {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} were headed to [[Sootopolis City]] because the Cave of Origin would allow their minds to awaken now that their bodies had been awakened.

The Cave of Origin first appeared in ''[[PS261|It All Ends Now II]]'', where {{adv|Ruby}} and [[Courtney]] stood in front of it while preparing to use the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s in an attempt to stop Groudon and Kyogre's fight. In ''[[PS262|It All Ends Now III]]'', Courtney was suddenly pulled into the cave by a {{p|Tentacruel|tentacle}}, just as its entrance collapsed on top of her, killing her.

In ''[[PS264|It All Ends Now V]]'', [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]] emerged from the cave after Ruby and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} had succeeded in stopping Groudon and Kyogre, swiping the Orbs and intending to restart the crisis.

In the [[Chuang Yi]] translations of Pokémon Adventures volumes {{FB|Pokémon Adventures volume|19}}, {{FB|Pokémon Adventures volume|20}}, and {{FB|Pokémon Adventures volume|21}}, the [[Seafloor Cavern]] was incorrectly referred to as the Cave of Origin.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the player can reenter the cave after capturing or defeating Groudon/Kyogre. In {{game|Emerald}}, the entrance is blocked for the rest of the game after awakening Rayquaza in Sky Pillar.
* In Ruby and Sapphire, the cave is dark but can be illuminated by {{m|Flash}}. In other games, the cave is normally lit.
* Although the Cave of Origin was reduced in size for {{game|Emerald}}, data for the removed floors still exists in the game's code.
* In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]], {{p|Pineco}} is said to be found in the Cave of Origin in FireRed. The guide likely meant to say [[Altering Cave]], which can be found in FireRed and LeafGreen, but Pineco can only be found there with an event distribution that was never distributed.
* In the Generation III games, no background music plays on the bottom floor of this cave. In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the only other area in the game that shares this distinction is the [[Inside of Truck]]. (In Pokémon Emerald, [[Birth Island]] also has no background music.)
** As a result, if a Pokémon evolves or an {{pkmn|Egg}} hatches here in these games, the evolution background music will play on the floor until the player leaves.
* In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the player's [[PokéNav Plus]] will be unusable in the bottom floor due to electrical interference from the intense natural energy in the room.

'''Starmie''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''スターミー''' ''Starmie'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Staryu}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]].

==Biology==
Starmie is a {{wp|echinoderm}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles two violet {{wp|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 [[EP007|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 {{pkmn2|extraterrestrial}}. It has been known to cause headaches on people when approached. 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 {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|ocean}}. It feeds by absorbing tiny plankton into its body while swimming, and it is preyed on by {{p|Lumineon}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Starmie (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Starmie floats to the closest opponent and barrages them with {{m|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.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[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. {{p|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.

==Trivia==
* Staryu was programmed to learn Egg moves in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, but these moves were unobtainable because both Staryu and Starmie are [[gender unknown]] and so could only breed with {{p|Ditto}}. These moves were removed in {{v2|Crystal}}.
* Staryu, Starmie, and {{p|Mew}} are the only Pokémon species that are [[gender unknown]] but can legitimately learn {{m|Attract}} in [[Generation II]]. This move has no effect when used by these Pokémon.
* In the Japanese-exclusive {{jap|Pokémon Stadium}}, Starmie seems to have originally been a lot more rubbery than it is now, as its limbs stretch whenever it is hit.
* Starmie is the only {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Water 3}}.

===Origin===
Starmie seems to be based on a stylized {{wp|starfish}} such as the {{wp|purple sea star}} (due to its color), the {{wp|sunflower sea star}} (due to its many arms) or the {{wp|Celerina heffernani|Hefferman's starfish}} (due to its color and central pattern, especially in the shiny form). Like Starmie, many real starfish have the ability to {{wp|Regeneration (biology)|regenerate}} lost body parts. Given its ties to outer space and ability to emit light, it may also be based on literal {{wp|star}}s and {{wp|meteor}}s. It is also reminiscent of ornate {{wp|jewelry}}, with its central core resembling a {{wp|facet}}ed gem mounted inside a golden {{wp|prong setting}}. The standard color of its gem resembles a {{wp|ruby}}, while its {{Shiny}} color resembles a {{wp|sapphire}}. Its tendency to rapidly spin its body is reminiscent of {{wp|shuriken}} and {{wp|propeller}}s.

Its ability to learn various beam attacks and the gem in the middle acting like a heart might also be a reference to the {{wp|Ultraman}} series, where Ultra Warriors have similar gems on their chests, which will start flashing when they're weak, just like Starmie's gem as displayed in the anime.

====Name origin====
Starmie may be a combinaton of ''star'' and ''mystery''. Its name in English may involve ''me'' (in opposition to the ''you'' in {{p|Staryu}}).

'''Staryu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒトデマン''' ''Hitodeman'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Starmie}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]].

==Biology==
Staryu is a golden-brown, {{wp|echinoderm}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with five appendages. These appendages surround an exterior organ called the core. The core resembles a golden metal casing with a red gem in the center, which is held in place by a golden ring looped around Staryu's lower left point. If any of Staryu's appendages are lost or eaten by predators like {{p|Lumineon}}, it is unharmed and can grow them back with ease provided the core is still intact.

When the sun goes down, Staryu's core glows its brightest. Many Staryu will float from the seafloor to the surface and align themselves with stars of the night sky as their core flickers, displaying a connection with the celestial bodies of space. The [[EP091|anime has shown]] that if Staryu becomes weak, its core will grow faint and flash slowly. During the ends of summer, groups of Staryu tend to gather while lighting up in a steady rhythm. Staryu can be found at the very bottom of the ocean on the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|seafloors}}. There are times, however, when Staryu finds itself in rivers that lead into the ocean as seen in [[Pokémon Snap]]. In [[Generation III]], {{m|Camouflage}} was its [[signature move]].

In the [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]], and the original Japanese version of the {{pkmn|anime}} episode ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Staryu is classified as {{wp|hermaphrodite|hermaphroditic}}.

''"A Star Shape Pokémon. It gathers in groups and flashes the red jewel in the center of its body in time to the twinkling of the stars in the night sky. If it loses appendages, it can regenerate them right away. It can also use {{m|Camouflage}}, which allows it to change its type to match the surrounding terrain. If a Water Stone is used on it, evolves into Starmie."''

====3DS/Wii U Trophy information====
[[File:Staryu 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Staryu trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
'''NA''': ''This Water-type Pokémon, Staryu, greatly resembles a star. Exposing one to a Water Stone causes it to evolve into Starmie. Another star-shaped Pokémon, Cleffa, exists, but the two don't look all that similar. In Smash Bros., Staryu will attack foes with Swift. Anyone hit will be seeing stars! ''

'''PAL''': ''This Water-type Pokémon evolves into Starmie when you use a Water Stone. Its star shape makes it rather cute, but that doesn't mean Staryu's not a threat. Its Swift attack will pummel fighters with a flurry of stars. If you notice Staryu's aiming at you, quickly move up or down to get out of the line of fire. ''

==Trivia==
* In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, Staryu is the only Pokémon with the [[Field Move]] {{m|Flash}}.
** Once Staryu serves its purpose with Flash, it cannot be captured again, except during the {{p|Kyogre}} mission.
* Staryu is one of fourteen Pokémon that one is able to collect [[foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Staryu shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Cleffa}}. They are both known as the Star Shape Pokémon.
* Staryu was programmed to learn Egg moves in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, but these moves were unobtainable because both Staryu and Starmie are [[gender unknown]] and so could only breed with {{p|Ditto}}. These moves were removed in {{v2|Crystal}}.
* Staryu, Starmie, and {{p|Mew}} are the only Pokémon species that are [[gender unknown]] but can legitimately learn {{m|Attract}} in [[Generation II]]. This move has no effect when used by these Pokémon.
* Staryu may be considered a counterpart of {{p|Shellder}}. Both are Water-types in the {{OBP|Water 3|Egg Group}} [[Egg Group]], both evolve with a Water Stone, and both gain a second type upon evolution. Cloyster is seen as a slow defensive Pokémon, while Starmie is seen as a fast attacking Pokémon.
** They also have a chance of holding [[valuable item]]s, [[Stardust]]/[[Star Piece]] and {{i|Pearl}}/[[Big Pearl]], respectively. Staryu is exclusive to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|LeafGreen}} and {{pkmn|X and Y|X}}, while Shellder is exclusive to FireRed and Y, with both Pokémon found by fishing in the same locations in their respective versions.
* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]] erroneously refers to Staryu as a male, despite it being a Pokémon species that is [[gender unknown]].

===Origin===
Staryu seems to be based on a stylized {{wp|starfish}} such as the {{wp|common starfish}}, or the {{wp|Fromia monilis|necklace starfish}} with its vivid red center surrounded by bright plates. Like Staryu, many real starfish have the ability to {{wp|regeneration (biology)|regenerate}} lost body parts. Given its ties to outer space and ability to emit light, it may also be based on literal {{wp|stars}} and {{wp|meteors}} It is also reminiscent of ornate {{wp|jewelry}}, with its central core resembling a polished {{wp|cabochon}} gem mounted inside a golden {{wp|prong setting}}. The standard color of its gem resembles a {{wp|ruby}}, while its [[Shiny]] color resembles a {{wp|sapphire}}. Its tendency to rapidly spin its body is reminiscent of {{wp|shuriken}} and {{wp|propellers}}.

Staryu's [[gender unknown]] designation may be based on {{wp|hermaphrodite|hermaphroditism}}, observed in some real-life {{wp|starfish}} species. In the [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]], and the original Japanese version of the [[Pokémon anime|anime]] episode ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Staryu is classified as hermaphroditic.

Additionally, Staryu's ties to outer space, its Japanese name, its ability to learn various beam attacks, and the gem in its middle acting like a heart may all be a reference to the {{wp|Ultraman}} series, where Ultra Warriors have similar gems on their chests, which will start flashing when they're weak, just like Staryu's gem as displayed in the anime.

====Name origin====
Staryu may be a combination of ''star'' and ''you'' (in opposition to the ''me'' in {{p|Starmie}}).

Hitodeman may be a combination of 海星 ''hitode'' (starfish) and ''man''.

'''Staryu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒトデマン''' ''Hitodeman'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Starmie}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]].

==Biology==
Staryu is a golden-brown, {{wp|echinoderm}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with five appendages. These appendages surround an exterior organ called the core. The core resembles a golden metal casing with a red gem in the center, which is held in place by a golden ring looped around Staryu's lower left point. If any of Staryu's appendages are lost or eaten by predators like {{p|Lumineon}}, it is unharmed and can grow them back with ease provided the core is still intact.

When the sun goes down, Staryu's core glows its brightest. Many Staryu will float from the seafloor to the surface and align themselves with stars of the night sky as their core flickers, displaying a connection with the celestial bodies of space. The [[EP091|anime has shown]] that if Staryu becomes weak, its core will grow faint and flash slowly. During the ends of summer, groups of Staryu tend to gather while lighting up in a steady rhythm. Staryu can be found at the very bottom of the ocean on the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|seafloors}}. There are times, however, when Staryu finds itself in rivers that lead into the ocean as seen in [[Pokémon Snap]]. In [[Generation III]], {{m|Camouflage}} was its [[signature move]].

In the [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]], and the original Japanese version of the {{pkmn|anime}} episode ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Staryu is classified as {{wp|hermaphrodite|hermaphroditic}}.

A Staryu appeared in ''''[[PS060|Breath of the Dragonair Part 1]]'', under the ownership of a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. It was used in a surfing contest, before it was interrupted by Lance controlling the winning prize, a Dragonair.

{{adv|Crystal}} encounters a herd of twelve Staryu during her {{pkmn|journey}} in ''[[PS120|Surrounded by Staryu]]''. The dozen Staryu hound after [[Bill]] in an attempt to play with him, encasing him and his {{p|Farfetch'd}} in a dodecahedral shell not even Crystal's {{p|Cubone}} could penetrate. Crystal was eventually able to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} and calm Staryu down by breaking them up from the inside, using the new Pokémon Portable Transport System to send her {{p|Natu}} inside. They are later seen playing with Professor Oak in his Laboratory in [[Cherrygrove City]].

A Staryu appeared in ''[[PS179|The Last Battle XIII]]'' as one of the Pokémon sent to participate in the fight in [[Ilex Forest]].

==In the TCG==
{{main|Staryu (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
[[File:Staryu SSBB.png|200px|left|thumb|Staryu in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
[[File:Staryu SSB4.png|200px|thumb|Staryu in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]/[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|3DS/Wii U]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Staryu will target one of the opponents, spin towards them, and shoot {{m|Swift}}. Its attack is rapid-fire, but it can easily be escaped from by Directional Influence; the player can still move around while getting hit by Swift. In Ultimate, it appears as a {{sw|Spirit}}.

====Melee trophy information====
''These starshape Pokémon that evolve into Starmie are found in large numbers at the seashore. At night, Staryu's red center glows and blinks on and off. It's said that as long as its red center remains, it can regrow its limbs. Whether it's related to {{p|Cleffa}}, another Pokémon with a vaguely star-shaped appearance, is unknown.''

====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Star Shape Pokémon. It gathers in groups and flashes the red jewel in the center of its body in time to the twinkling of the stars in the night sky. If it loses appendages, it can regenerate them right away. It can also use {{m|Camouflage}}, which allows it to change its type to match the surrounding terrain. If a Water Stone is used on it, evolves into Starmie."''
{{-}}

====3DS/Wii U Trophy information====
[[File:Staryu 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Staryu trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
'''NA''': ''This Water-type Pokémon, Staryu, greatly resembles a star. Exposing one to a Water Stone causes it to evolve into Starmie. Another star-shaped Pokémon, Cleffa, exists, but the two don't look all that similar. In Smash Bros., Staryu will attack foes with Swift. Anyone hit will be seeing stars! ''

'''PAL''': ''This Water-type Pokémon evolves into Starmie when you use a Water Stone. Its star shape makes it rather cute, but that doesn't mean Staryu's not a threat. Its Swift attack will pummel fighters with a flurry of stars. If you notice Staryu's aiming at you, quickly move up or down to get out of the line of fire. ''

==Trivia==
* In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, Staryu is the only Pokémon with the [[Field Move]] {{m|Flash}}.
** Once Staryu serves its purpose with Flash, it cannot be captured again, except during the {{p|Kyogre}} mission.
* Staryu is one of fourteen Pokémon that one is able to collect [[foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Staryu shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Cleffa}}. They are both known as the Star Shape Pokémon.
* Staryu was programmed to learn Egg moves in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, but these moves were unobtainable because both Staryu and Starmie are [[gender unknown]] and so could only breed with {{p|Ditto}}. These moves were removed in {{v2|Crystal}}.
* Staryu, Starmie, and {{p|Mew}} are the only Pokémon species that are [[gender unknown]] but can legitimately learn {{m|Attract}} in [[Generation II]]. This move has no effect when used by these Pokémon.
* Staryu may be considered a counterpart of {{p|Shellder}}. Both are Water-types in the {{OBP|Water 3|Egg Group}} [[Egg Group]], both evolve with a Water Stone, and both gain a second type upon evolution. Cloyster is seen as a slow defensive Pokémon, while Starmie is seen as a fast attacking Pokémon.
** They also have a chance of holding [[valuable item]]s, [[Stardust]]/[[Star Piece]] and {{i|Pearl}}/[[Big Pearl]], respectively. Staryu is exclusive to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|LeafGreen}} and {{pkmn|X and Y|X}}, while Shellder is exclusive to FireRed and Y, with both Pokémon found by fishing in the same locations in their respective versions.
* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]] erroneously refers to Staryu as a male, despite it being a Pokémon species that is [[gender unknown]].

===Origin===
Staryu seems to be based on a stylized {{wp|starfish}} such as the {{wp|common starfish}}, or the {{wp|necklace starfish}} with its vivid red center surrounded by bright plates. Like Staryu, many real starfish have the ability to {{wp|regeneration (biology)|regenerate}} lost body parts. Given its ties to outer space and ability to emit light, it may also be based on literal {{wp|stars}} and {{wp|meteors}} It is also reminiscent of ornate {{wp|jewelry}}, with its central core resembling a polished {{wp|cabochon}} gem mounted inside a golden {{wp|prong setting}}. The standard color of its gem resembles a {{wp|ruby}}, while its [[Shiny]] color resembles a {{wp|sapphire}}. Its tendency to rapidly spin its body is reminiscent of {{wp|shuriken}} and {{wp|propellers}}.

Staryu's [[gender unknown]] designation may be based on {{wp|hermaphrodite|hermaphroditism}}, observed in some real-life {{wp|starfish}} species. In the [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]], and the original Japanese version of the [[Pokémon anime|anime]] episode ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Staryu is classified as hermaphroditic.

Additionally, Staryu's ties to outer space, its Japanese name, its ability to learn various beam attacks, and the gem in its middle acting like a heart may all be a reference to the {{wp|Ultraman}} series, where Ultra Warriors have similar gems on their chests, which will start flashing when they're weak, just like Staryu's gem as displayed in the anime.

====Name origin====
Staryu may be a combination of ''star'' and ''you'' (in opposition to the ''me'' in {{p|Starmie}}).

Hitodeman may be a combination of 海星 ''hitode'' (starfish) and ''man''.
