Known as the Mysterious Pokémon, Starmie is characterized by its star-shaped body and the jewel-like core in its center, which is said to glow with seven colors. This core is its brain and is capable of emitting powerful psychic energy. Starmie is often found in the depths of the ocean, swimming by rapidly spinning its body. Its diet primarily consists of tiny plankton, which it absorbs as it cruises through the water. In the anime, Starmie is famously featured as one of Misty's primary Pokémon, showcasing its speed and agility in battle. Its unique design and powerful abilities have made it a fan favorite since the early days of the franchise. Starmie's role in the games often involves its high speed and special attack stats, making it a formidable special attacker in competitive play. Its Water/Psychic typing gives it a broad range of type matchups, being strong against Fire, Ground, Rock, Fighting, and Poison types, but vulnerable to Grass, Electric, Bug, Ghost, and Dark attacks. Starmie's mystique and otherworldly appearance contribute to its enduring cultural significance in the Pokémon world.
