===Origin===
===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.

Starmie (Japanese: スターミー Starmie) is a dual-type Water/Psychic Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Staryu when exposed to a Water Stone.

Biology

Starmie is an echinoderm 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 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 ocean. It feeds by absorbing tiny plankton into its body while swimming, and it is preyed on by Lumineon.

Evolution

Starmie evolves from Staryu.

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. 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.

In the anime

Main series

Starmie in the anime

Major appearances

Misty's Starmie

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.

Other

In Bye Bye Psyduck, Marina used a Starmie to battle the Golduck Misty believed was her Psyduck. It was defeated when the force of Golduck's Hyper Beam shattered its Light Screen.

In Misty Meets Her Match, Rudy used a Starmie in his battle against Ash. It went up against Squirtle and was defeated with a combination of its newly-learned Hydro Pump and its signature finisher, Skull Bash. Starmie reappeared in a flashback in Hello, Pummelo!.

In Going for the Gold!, a wild Starmie attacked Team Rocket's submarine with Thunderbolt.

Minor appearances

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros.

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.

Trivia

  • Staryu was programmed to learn Egg moves in Gold and Silver, but these moves were unobtainable because both Staryu and Starmie are gender unknown and so could only breed with Ditto. These moves were removed in Crystal.
  • Staryu, Starmie, and Mew are the only Pokémon species that are gender unknown but can legitimately learn Attract in Generation II. This move has no effect when used by these Pokémon.
  • In the Japanese-exclusive 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 Psychic-type Pokémon in the Water 3 Egg Group.

Origin

Starmie seems to be based on a stylized starfish such as the purple sea star (due to its color), the sunflower sea star (due to its many arms), or the Hefferman's starfish (due to its color and central pattern, especially in its Shiny form). Like Starmie, many real starfish have the ability to regenerate lost body parts. Given its ties to outer space and ability to emit light, it may also be based on literal stars and meteors. It is also reminiscent of ornate jewelry, with its central core resembling a faceted gem mounted inside a golden prong setting. The standard color of its gem resembles a ruby, while its Shiny color resembles a sapphire. Its tendency to rapidly spin its body is reminiscent of shuriken and propellers. Its gender unknown designation may be based on hermaphroditism, observed in some real-life starfish species.

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

Name origin

Starmie may be a combinaton of star and mystery. Its name in English may also involve me (in opposition to the you in Staryu).
