Misty uses Staryu often as one of her main battling Pokémon throughout most of the series. It often shimmers when called into {{pkmn|battle}}s, and its core glows pink accompanied by a siren-like noise when tired or weakened.

Staryu was first used to defend [[Mt. Moon]] against an attack by {{TRT}} in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. Staryu was sent out against {{MTR}}, who was trying to abduct a {{p|Clefairy}}. Misty next used Staryu in her Gym battle against {{Ash}} in [[EP007|the next episode]]. When Ash did not recognize Staryu, he used his [[Pokédex]] on it; he later commented "Leave it to a girl to show off her jewelry!". Staryu demonstrated an Ability similar to {{a|Natural Cure}}, despite Abilities not having been introduced at the time, by diving into the water to negate {{m|Stun Spore}} and {{m|Sleep Powder}}. It also seemed to be rather clumsy, as it missed {{TP|Ash|Butterfree}} and nearly slipped, almost falling into the water. Despite this Staryu was able to beat {{AP|Butterfree}} by tackling it into the water.

Misty auditioned Staryu for a part in a movie in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]''. However, as is often the case with Misty calling out Staryu, {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} came out instead. Staryu did get a part, however, by helping provide the rain effects for the final scene.

Staryu was often called into battle, even relied on when Misty had access to other Pokémon such as {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}. Staryu's strength was called on in ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', battling {{OBP|Marina|EP091}}'s {{p|Tentacruel}}. Upon entering battle, Marina commented it was an excellent looking Staryu, and Misty responded that Staryu was one of her favorite Pokémon and that she polished it daily. The pampering appeared to pay off as it was able to take down Tentacruel with one Swift attack. It was, however, defeated by Marina's powerful {{p|Psyduck}}.

In ''[[EP147|The Fire-ing Squad!]]'', Staryu was entered into the Fire and Rescue Grand Prix with Ash alongside [[Ash's Pikachu]], his Squirtle, and Psyduck. The group competed against a team of {{p|Muk}} to see who could put out a fire the fastest. Staryu and Squirtle used duel Water Guns while Pikachu kicked dirt at it. Things went well until Psyduck got in the way and ended up getting thrown into the fire. Squirtle rescued it, but the loss in time cost them the match.

Staryu was also used to fight Ash a second time to win a {{AP|Totodile}} in ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]''. It battled his {{AP|Chikorita}}, showing high determination, digging in its heels against a Tackle and dodging through {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Vine Whip}}. It was also able to strike a powerful Water Gun that jetted Chikorita several feet up and across the battlefield. It was, however, beaten to the ground by a powerful Vine Whip. Misty later apologized to Staryu, saying she hoped she had not pushed it too hard and only did so because she had an immense amount of faith in the Pokémon, showing she had a very strong bond with Staryu and cared about it greatly.

Before it was able to hit, Staryu was hit by Mantine's {{m|Whirlpool}}, although the attack, even combined with a direct hit from Bubble Beam, was not able to even affect it slightly. It then easily dissipated the Whirlpool with Rapid Spin and went on the offensive with several high speed Tackles, chasing Mantine through the water in dogged pursuit.

===Personality and characteristics===
Staryu does not seem to have much of a personality due to its extremely un-anthropomorphic features. Most of its personality is seen in battle, where it is shown to be very powerful, being Misty's top choice through most of the early series. When it loses, it occasionally gets upset about the loss until Misty comforts it. Staryu is shown to have a very strong bond with its Trainer due to how she can tell what its emotions and feelings are and how much trust they have with each other.

Misty's Staryu (Japanese: カスミのヒトデマン Kasumi's Hitodeman) was one of the three original Pokémon acquired by Misty in the Kanto region prior to the start of the anime. Staryu also appeared in most of the games Misty appears in.

In the anime

History

Original series

Kanto
Staryu in its debut

Misty used Staryu as one of her main battling Pokémon throughout most of the series. It often shimmers when called into battles, and its core glows pink accompanied by a siren-like noise when tired or weakened.

Staryu was first used to defend Mt. Moon and the Clefairy against an attack by Team Rocket in Clefairy and the Moon Stone.

Misty next used Staryu in her Gym battle against Ash in the next episode. When Ash did not recognize Staryu, he used his Pokédex on it; he later commented "Leave it to a girl to show off her jewelry!". Staryu demonstrated an Ability similar to Natural Cure, despite Abilities not having been introduced at the time, by diving into the water to negate Stun Spore and Sleep Powder. It also seemed to be rather clumsy, as it missed Butterfree and nearly slipped, almost falling into the water. Despite this Staryu was able to beat Butterfree by Tackling it into the water.

Staryu was also used for its strong swimming abilities, helping Ash and his friends escape the sunken St. Anne in Pokémon Shipwreck, and also later helped the team escape James's Gyarados along with Goldeen and Starmie. It also tried to help the group get to the North Pole along with Goldeen, Starmie and Squirtle in Holiday Hi-Jynx, however it, along with its fellow swimmers, tired out before they made it. Misty also used Staryu during the Queen of the Princess Festival contest in Princess vs. Princess.

Misty auditioned Staryu for a part in a movie in Lights, Camera, Quack-tion. However, as is often the case with Misty calling out Staryu, Psyduck came out instead. However, Staryu did get a role in helping provide the rain effects for the final scene.

Orange Islands

Staryu would again be called to help tow a raft to escape a crumbling island made up of Kabuto that were then reviving in Shell Shock!. It also danced on stage in Stage Fight! to help a traveling riverboat show that dubbed acting Pokémon with human voices backstage.

Staryu's strength was called on in Bye Bye Psyduck, battling Marina's Tentacruel. Upon entering battle, Marina commented that it was an excellent looking Staryu, and Misty responded that Staryu was one of her favorite Pokémon and that she polished it daily. The pampering appeared to pay off as it was able to take down Tentacruel with one Swift attack. It was, however, defeated by Marina's powerful Psyduck.

Misty swimming with Staryu

In The Stun Spore Detour, a wild Poliwag sought protection from James and Meowth by hiding behind Misty. Misty's Staryu defeated James's Weezing by using Tackle followed by Double-Edge, which not only cut through Weezing's Smog, but also sent Weezing flying.
