It is said to live deep in the ocean, propelling itself through water with incredible speed.

Its design, reminiscent of a starfish, contributes to its iconic status among original 151 Pokémon. Starmie's dual typing gives it an interesting array of type matchups, being weak to Grass, Electric, Bug, Ghost, and Dark type moves, while resisting Fighting, Steel, Fire, Water, Psychic, and Ice types. Its role in the games often involves being a fast special attacker, making it a valuable asset for many trainers.
