Read more ↓Staryu, the Star Shape Pokémon, is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It is known for its distinctive star-shaped body and the red jewel, or "core," in its center, which is said to glow in a rhythmic pattern. Staryu evolves into Starmie when exposed to a Water Stone. In the wild, Staryu are often found in the ocean, clinging to the seafloor or swimming gracefully through currents. Their diet consists primarily of microscopic organisms and other small marine life. They are nocturnal creatures, becoming active at night when their core flashes, communicating with others of their kind. Staryu plays a significant role in the Pokémon anime as Misty's trusted companion, showcasing its agility and versatility in battles. Its unique physiology and mysterious nature have made it a memorable Pokémon since its debut. As a Water-type, Staryu has a natural advantage against Fire, Ground, and Rock types, while being vulnerable to Electric and Grass types. Its simple yet iconic design has cemented its place as a classic Pokémon.
