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.

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.

Main article: Starmie (TCG)

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 It has been replaced by its pre-evolved form Staryu in all future releases, in which it performs the same function.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).

-'''Starmie''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''スターミー''' ''Starmie'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}} Pokémon.
-It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Staryu}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.
+It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Staryu}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]].
 ==Biology==
-===Physiology===
+Starmie is an {{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]].
-Starmie, like its pre-evolved form, resembles a sea star. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of a head and a base|main body}} is violet, but it retains the gold formation on its front. Starmie's red jewel core is larger than {{p|Staryu}}’s and has developed to resemble a cut precious stone. The major change that took place upon evolution to Starmie was the growing of a second star on its back. This second set of arms is semi-attached, being able to spin 360°.
+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}}.
+===Evolution===
+Starmie evolves from {{p|Staryu}}.

+===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.

-===Special abilities===
+===Learnset===
-Starmie's central core glows in seven different colors, but typically shows up as red. It can also emit electrical waves from the core that are powerful enough to reach the furthest parts of the universe. It spins the star on its back to propel itself through the water and sometimes to launch itself out of the water and fly through the air for short periods of time. It is through this behavior that Starmie uses attacks like {{m|Rapid Spin}}. Starmie still retains all of the abilities of Staryu including {{m|Recover|re-growing limbs}} and firing off energy attacks from its core.
+{{learnlist/MoveNA|Starmie|Water|Psychic|1|IX}}
-===Behavior===
+====[[Anime move errors|Anime-only moves]]====
-Much like Staryu, Starmie are nocturnal creatures and become active at nighttime. Despite this, captured Starmie have been known for surprising tenacity and enthusiasm during the daytime. It is unknown exactly why wild Starmie are mainly night dwellers, however, there has always been the conclusion that Starmie and Staryu are from an [[alien]] planet, implying that perhaps the night sky brings the species some sort of comfort in familiarity. This Pokémon has also been noted to “send electric waves into outer space”. These transmissions have also been referred to as “radio signals”. This is very possibly some type of communication between terrestrial Starmie and their alien relatives. The multi-color glowing of Starmie’s core is also believed to be a method of communication inside the species. Starmie’s core is most commonly seen as red in color, which may be a relaxed or dormant signal as according to the Starmie communication system. The core will go dark if Starmie is knocked unconscious, and will sometimes flicker, similarly to a light bulb.

+{{Spindata/Head|type=Water|type2=Psychic}}
-Starmie are a rare sight in the wild, as they require a {{evostone|Water Stone}} to evolve from Staryu. Their nocturnal behavior also decreases the chances of one being sighted. If they are ever found in the wild, it is in the deepest parts of the ocean; wild Starmie typically share their habitat with many other Staryu. There have also been rare sightings in the waters of [[Unova]]'s [[Unova Route 13|Route 13]].

+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.

 ==Trivia==
-* Starmie is tied with {{p|Floatzel}} for the fastest {{type|Water}} Pokémon with a base {{DL|Stats|speed}} of 115.
+* 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}}.
-* Despite being a genderless Pokémon, Starmie and Staryu were still able to learn Egg moves in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. This was fixed in {{v2|Crystal}} where they could no longer breed with any Pokémon except {{p|Ditto}}.
+* 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.
-** Also, they are able to learn {{m|Attract}} in [[Generation II]] only, along with {{p|Mew}}. Starmie is genderless, so it cannot learn Attract.
+* In the Japanese-exclusive {{jpn|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===
-It appears to be a stylized {{wp|seastar}}. But on account of the second star on its back, it bears resemblance to a {{wp|crown of thorns starfish}}. Starmie also bears resemblance to Mesopotamian goddess {{wp|Inanna#Iconography|Inanna's iconography|}}.
+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 its {{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 [[gender unknown]] designation may be based on {{wp|hermaphrodite|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 {{wp|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 is derived from ''star'' (referring to its shape) and ''mie'', which involves 珠 ''mi'' (''gem'' or ''jewel''), referring to its core. In English, ''Mie'' is considered a corruption of ''me'' (the personal pronoun), in opposition to the ''yu'' (you) in {{p|Staryu}}. This pun is not present in their Japanese names; while Starmie shares its name in both languages, Staryu's Japanese name is Hitodeman (roughly "starfish man").
+Starmie may be a combinaton of ''star'' and ''mystery''. Its name in English may also involve ''me'' (in opposition to the ''you'' in {{p|Staryu}}).
