Diet
Main article: Pokémon food
In the anime
Staryu was one of Misty's main battlers throughout the original series, debuting in Clefairy and the Moon Stone.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Special manga
Staryu debuts in the Red, Green & Blue chapter as a Misty's Pokémon, defending her from an enraged Gyarados in Gyarados Splashes In! and from Koga's Rhydon in Raging Rhydon.
Crystal encounters a herd of twelve Staryu during her journey. The dozen Staryu hound after Bill in an attempt to play with him, encasing him and his Farfetch'd in a dodecahedral shell not even Crystal's Cubone could penetrate. Crystal was eventually able to capture and calm the Staryu down by breaking them up from the inside, using the new Pokémon Portable Transport System to send her Natu inside.
In the TCG
- Main article: Staryu (TCG)
Other appearances
When released from a Poké Ball, Staryu will target one of the opponents, spin towards them and shoot Swift. Each hit only does 1% damage but it is hard to avoid once caught in Swift so the maximum damage of 23% is common.
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.

Trivia
Origin
It may just be a stylized seastar.
Name origin
Staryu's name is derived from star, referring to its shape, and yu, which may be a misspelling of you, in opposition to the mie in Starmie. The hitode in Hitodeman is probably derived from 海星, seastar, along with the combination of man.
In other languages
- German: Sterndu
- French: Stari - From the English words star and I, referring to the English name Staryu and Starmie (Star You and Star Me).
- Korean: 별가사리 Byeolgasari
