Staryu (Japanese: ヒトデマン Hitodeman) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves into Starmie when exposed to a Water Stone.
Biology
Staryu is a golden-brown starfish-like Pokémon 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 Lumineon, it is unharmed and can grow them back with ease provided the core is still intact.
When the sun goes down, the 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 anime has shown that if Staryu becomes weak, its core will grow faint and flash slowly. Staryu can be found at the very bottom of the ocean on the seafloors. There are times, however, when Staryu finds itself in rivers that lead into the ocean as seen in Pokémon Snap. In the past, Camouflage was its signature move.

Other appearances
Super Smash Bros. Melee/Brawl/3DS/Wii U/Ultimate
When released from a Poké Ball, Staryu will target one of the opponents, spin towards them, and shoot 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.
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 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 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
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 Pokémon Ranger, Staryu is the only Pokémon with the Field Move Flash.
- Once Staryu serves its purpose with Flash, it cannot be captured again, except during the Kyogre mission.
- Staryu is one of fourteen Pokémon that one is able to collect foreign Pokédex entries for in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
- Staryu shares its category name with Cleffa. They are both known as the Star Shape Pokémon.
- Despite being a genderless Pokémon, Staryu and Starmie were programmed to learn Egg moves in Gold and Silver; however, due to being genderless, these were unobtainable. This was fixed in Crystal.
- Also, they are one of the few genderless Pokémon able to learn Attract in Generation II, along with Mew.
- Staryu may be considered a counterpart of Shellder. Both are Water-types in the Water 3 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 items, Stardust/Star Piece and Pearl/Big Pearl, respectively. Staryu is exclusive to LeafGreen and 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 genderless Pokémon.
Origin
Staryu's design is based on a starfish, likely a common starfish. Conceptually, it appears to be a pun on a literal star, as Staryu is rumored to be extraterrestrial in nature.
The large gemstone attached to its body is held on by a bracket, similar to a ring mount. Additionally, although Staryu's gem seemingly does not display it, the concept of asterism is worth mentioning in terms of Staryu's possible design basis, especially since Staryu's is a cabochon gem. If this was indeed inspiration for its design, then Staryu's gem is perhaps a star-ruby.
Name origin
Staryu is derived from star (referring to its shape) and yu (possible corruption of you, in opposition to the mie in Starmie). Yu is also the Chinese word for fish (魚).
Hitodeman is probably derived from ヒトデ hitode (starfish) and the English word man.
