TypeWater and Psychic

Starmie (/ˈstɑːrm/;Japanese:スターミー,Hepburn:Sutāmī), is aPokémon species inNintendo andGame Freak'sPokémon media franchise, and theevolved form ofStaryu. First introduced in the video gamesPokémon Red andBlue, it was designed byKen Sugimori, and has appeared in multiple games in the series, includingPokémon Go and thePokémon Trading Card Game.

Resembling two overlappedstarfish with a jewel in its center, Starmie is classified as a Water- and Psychic-type Pokémon. In the franchise's fictional universe, Starmie is believed to have arrived fromouter space and can transmitradio waves. A Starmie has been owned by the Gym LeaderMisty in both the games andPokémon: The Series; the latter is voiced byRikako Aikawa. An additional form of Starmie, referred asMega Starmie, was introduced in the 2025 video gamePokémon Legends: Z-A.

Following its debut, Starmie received positive reception for its good stats and competitive abilities, going on to win multiple tournaments. The fight against Misty's Starmie also received discussion due to its function as an early game challenge. However, itsMega Evolution was more divisively received due to its design, becoming ameme within the Pokémon community.

Concept and creation

Starmie is a species of fictional creatures called Pokémon created for thePokémon media franchise. Developed byGame Freak and published byNintendo, the Japanese franchise began in 1996 with the video gamesPokémon Red andGreen for theGame Boy, which were later released in North America asPokémon Red andBlue in 1998.[3] In these games and their sequels, the player assumes the role of a Trainer whose goal is to capture and use the creatures' special abilities to combat other Pokémon. Some Pokémon can transform into stronger species through a process calledevolution via various means, such as exposure to specific items.[4] Each Pokémon has one or two elemental types, which define its advantages and disadvantages when battling other Pokémon.[5] A major goal in each game is to complete thePokédex, a comprehensive Pokémon encyclopedia, by capturing, evolving, and trading with other Trainers to obtain individuals from all Pokémon species.[4]

Starmie evolves from the PokémonStaryu when a "Water Stone" item is used on Staryu.[6] Starmie is a purplestarfish-like Pokémon with ten arms;[7] its body resembles two starfish overlapped.[8] Unlike most Pokémon, Starmie does not have a face,[9]: 548  instead having a glowing red jewel at its center,[10][11]: 121  which can glow in rainbow colors.[12] Starmie'sshiny form changes its body to a deep blue-purple and its jewel tocerulean with its barrier turning to red.[13] Starmie, alongside its prior evolutionary stage, Staryu, are implied in-universe to be fromouter space. At night, Starmie transmitsradio waves into outer space.[12] To move around, it lifts itself into the air and floats,[14] although it has also been depicted walking.[8] Starmie's English name is believed to be a play on words; in conjunction with its prior stage, Staryu, their names are a combination of "Starfish"[15] or "Star", "You", and "Me".[16] Both Staryu and Starmie are genderless.[17] Its design is speculated to be based on thesunflower sea star,[18]: 32  due to their shared similarities in color and large amount of arms.[7] Starmie's jewel may be a reference to the Colour Timer from theUltraman franchise. Starmie and Staryu's jewels start blinking when they are injured, similar to how Colour Timers indicate its user is running out of energy. TheUltraman reference is extended to their appearances in thePokémon anime, where they communicate only using grunts instead of repeating their names, similar to how Ultras only grunt and shout during fights.[19]

The 2025 gamePokémon Legends: Z-A introduced a temporary, in-battle transformation for Starmie known as Mega Starmie. Mega Starmie looks identical to Starmie, but grows two human-like legs, which it can use to run around. It also poses with its arms on its hips when standing.[8] Its Mega Evolution gives it high speed and strong attacking stats. In the games' lore, Mega Starmie takes on this form due to attempting to resemble humans, though it is unclear if this is to replicate or to replace humanity.[20] Its design may be partially also inspired by the Japanese superheroUltraman.[21]

Appearances

[edit]

In video games

[edit]

Starmie first appeared in the 1996 video gamePokémon Red andGreen (Red andBlue outside of Japan); it is classified as a Water- and Psychic-type Pokémon and obtainable by evolving from Staryu using a Water Stone.[22] Starmie appears in multiple games after, including the remakesFireRed andLeafGreen,[23] and laterLet's Go, Pikachu! andLet's Go, Eevee!. In the latter, the player can ride on Starmie around the games' overworld.[14][24] It is typically only available through evolving from Staryu, though in some games, likePokémonBlack andWhite, it can be found in the wild.[25] Starmie has occasionally been a version exclusive, meaning one would need to be trade to be seen in the opposite version; a naturally obtainable Starmie can only be found inPokémon LeafGreen andPokémon X.[23][26] InPokémon Ultra Sun andUltra Moon, the player can witness an event in which a Starmie is having astaring contest against aCorsola and aSlowpoke. Starmie can lose the contest if the player uses a Pokémon that can tickle it, and in-return the player is rewarded.[27] It was initially absent fromPokémon Sword andShield until the release of theIsle of Armor DLC expansion pack.[28] It was not included inPokémon Legends: Arceus orPokémon Scarlet andViolet.[29][30] It was later featured inPokémon Legends Z-A, receiving a new form called Mega Starmie that makes it more powerful.[20]

In the first generation games,[a] Starmie is a Pokémon used by the Water-type Cerulean City Gym LeaderMisty; it is considered her best Pokémon.[32] Misty, alongside her Starmie, re-appear inPokémon Gold andSilver,[b]Pokémon Crystal,[33] andPokémon Black 2 andWhite 2.[34] In the mobile gamePokémon Masters EX, Misty, alongside her Starmie, are featured as a playable duo.[35][36]

Starmie can be seen in other spin-off Pokémon video games, includingPocket Monster Stadium,[8]Pokémon Stadium,[37]Pokémon Snap and its sequelNew Pokémon Snap,[38]Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire,[39]Pokémon Ranger,[40] and the mobile gamePokémon Go.[13] Starmie has appeared in thePokémon Mystery Dungeon series,[41] including a controllable Starmie found in the Sunken Treasure minigame inGates to Infinity.[42] InPokémon: Magikarp Jump, the player can receive a decoration based on Starmie after winning the "Heal League".[43] It has been featured in multiple card sets in thePokémon Trading Card Game,[c] with the card "Starmie ex" also appearing inPokémon Trading Card Game Pocket.[51] InSuper Smash Bros. for theNintendo 64, players can summon various Pokémon from Poké Balls to fight for them, including Starmie.[52]

In other media

[edit]

Starmie appears inPokémon: The Series, with one being featured on Misty's team sinceher introduction, who accompanies protagonistAsh Ketchum. Misty had trouble using her Starmie, often times losing with it. Instead, she used it as a mode of transport.[53] In the anime, Starmie is voiced by Japanese voice actressRikako Aikawa.[2]

"First Prize For Starmie" is an entry in thePokémon Talesboard book series for children. Written by Kazuyuki Yamamoto, illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno and published byViz Media, it tells the story of a group of Starmie that race each other across the galaxy, with one exploring the cosmo to get home for Christmas.[54]

Promotion and reception

[edit]

Starmie has been featured on a number of merchandise, such as aplush,[55] figurines,[56][57] accessories,[58][59] a pillow,[60] painted shikishi[ja] (色紙),[61]card sleeves,[62] and clothing.[63] During a collaboration betweenPokémon Centers and Star Jewelry, a number of items were designed which featured Starmie on them.[64] In Japan, apokéfuta depicting Starmie was installed in an area ofToyohashi in July 2022.[65] In 2016, to capture the rising popularity ofPokémon GO, anAuckland-basedjeweller created a promotion in-which customers who have caught Starmie in-game would receive a free gemstone.[66] According to adocument leak published byWikiLeaks, ahacking program named after Starmie was allegedly developed by theCIA for the purpose of exploitingAndroid devices that use theoperating system versionsAndroid 4.0 to4.3, such as theSamsung Galaxy Tab 2, theGalaxy Note and theEpic 4G Touch,[67] to gainremote access in order to collectuser data.[68]

Starmie has received positive reception from both critics and fans, appearing in many best Pokémon rankings; Alex Lucard from theBeckett Pokémon Unofficial Collector magazine noting that its typing and ability to learn powerful attacks made it a well-rounded member of any team.[69] Alex Olney, Jon Cartwright and Zion Grassl remarked during a video forNintendo Life that it was an improvement over Staryu due to finding Starmie more intimidating.[70]Inside Games' Suenaga praised Starmie's return inSword andShield's DLC, describing it as one of their favourite Pokémon from the first generation and being an ace at combat; Suenaga even ran a full team ofshiny Starmie each with a different moveset.[71] During a study published in the journalLanguage Arts, professorVivian Maria Vasquez observed how players believed Starmie to be an enigma, citing it's unthreatening appearance contradicting its ability to have some of the best moves in the games. Vasquez also noted how, despite being genderless, Starmie garnered a reputation for being a "girl's Pokémon" because of its appearance as a "starry jewel."[11] Writing forNintendo Life, Evan Lambert described Starmie as being anon-binary icon within the community due to its genderless status and color scheme being similar to thenon-binary flag. Additionally, he noted Starmie was a subject ofmemes among fans due it making suggestive cries in the French dub of the Pokémon anime.[72]

Critics commented on Starmie's role as an early game challenge in the first generation games as Misty's ace. Starmie's high speed stat and use of attacks such as Bubble Beam as reasons why many younger players had particular trouble beating it,[73] withIGN describing Misty's Starmie as "an absolute pain" to fight.[74] Critics noted that players that choseCharmander as their starter would have a harder time beating it compared to players that choseBulbasaur,[74] with some seeing this a way to teach players to catch more type effective Pokémon such asOddish in order to beat it.[32][75] Writing forMagmix, author Sootball saw the fight as an example how basic knowledge about Pokémon mechanics such as Technical Machines (TMs) and type matchups are essential during early game, noting that for younger players who brute force through the game with just strong move "Misty's Starmie will likely seem too strong, like a world champion."[76]

In competitive

[edit]

Starmie gained particular attention for its combat abilities, where it was noted as both a strong and fast Pokémon among the selection during the earlier games in the series.[77] Between 1997 and 1998, Starmie had been used to win official regional tournaments as well as the finals tournament "Nintendo Cup '97",[78] prompting it to be banned alongside other Pokémon from use in "Nintendo Cup '99" following the addition of new rules to promote other Pokémon to have more exposure.[79] As of 2024, Starmie is ranked in the top tier of competitive player for the first generation according to competitive Pokémon fan siteSmogon.[80] InIGN's "PokémonoftheDayChick" series of articles, Starmie was noted as being very versatile due to having a variety of different combat strategies for any situation in the first and second generations due to being able to learn many good offensive and defensive moves. When covering specific movesets for Starmie to use, the "DeathStar" moveset was brought up as being infamous within the Pokémon community,[d] and described as being "nigh unparalleled if you're in the market for a world class annoyer" due to being able to both paralyse and confuse opponents. However, when it came to Starmie's physical design, the author found it hard to attach to due to its lack of a face.[74]Futabanet's Honey similarly noted Starmie's moveset options, declaring it one of the best Pokémon to use inRed andGreen.[81] They continued that due to Starmie being able to learn the move "Blizzard", it alongside other Pokémon that could use the move such asTauros were used abundantly at tournaments, causing Dragon-type Pokémon to become unable to be used at a competitive level due to their weakness to Ice-type moves.[82] Writing forUSA Today'sFor the Win website, Cian Maher described Starmie as one of the best designed Psychic-type Pokémon in the series due to it having impressive Speed and Special Attacks stats for its type. Maher further recalled the "DeathStar" strategy, referred to in the article as "Death Starmie", reminiscing that "it doesn’t even need a Psychic move" to be considered the best of all Psychic-types.[83] Conversely,Screen Rant's Scott Baird believed that Starmie and its pre-evolution were poorly designed inGold andSilver, pointing out that they are programmed to learn moves that either don't work properly or can't be obtained due to being genderless. Baird speculates that this was likely an oversight during development, noting that the programmed moves were likely a holdover from a previous in-development build that was leaked where the pair were originally gendered.[17]

InPokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, the "Starmie ex" card was seen as a strong card within the game'smeta during the first few weeks. Often used in a deck alongside the Misty card and another Water-type Pokémon card,[51][84] such as "Lapras ex" or "Articuno ex",[85] the "Starmie ex" card was considered a powerful card due to its ability to be easily set up as well as being able to do high amounts of damage without using a lot of energy;[85][86] outlets such asIGN,Nintendo Life andTheGamer listed the card as one of the strongest cards in the game,[87] with the latter two noting it had little weakness outside of electric attacks.[88][89] Starmie's card became quickly hated in the game's community due to believing it had too many strengths.[86] The card would also be listed on websites such aseBay by players to be sold through the game's trading mechanic for in-game currency and lower-value cards, in whatIGN described as a "strange [community ran]black market".[90] By March 2025, Starmie's position had fallen slightly in the meta, with players speculating this to be due to lower health points and the introduction of more affordable Water-type Pokémon cards,[91] however, the card is still considered to be a high tier.[85][92]

Mega Evolution

[edit]

Starmie's Mega Evolution form was the subject of discussion by critics and memes by fans

Mega Starmie's design received a mixed reception from both critics and Pokémon fans, with some fans supportive of the design and finding it funny and silly,[93][94][95] whereas others believed it ruined Starmie's design and took over from MegaDragonite as the worst Mega design inZ-A.[20][96]TheGamer executive editor Rebecca Phillips believed Mega Starmie to be the best Mega form inZ-A, finding that part of its appeal came from evoking theuncanny valley and that its "bizarre, humanoid design gives it a little oomph."[97] Conversely, writing forPolygon Giovanni Colantonio declared Mega Starmie to beZ-A's worst Mega form, describing it as a "body horror monstrosity" designed byDavid Cronenberg.[98] Also writing forPolygon, Patricia Hernandez joked that Mega Starmie looked silly and "had the vibe of a meme or ashitpost", although commented it was quite strong due to its high stats.[20] Kenneth Shepard, writing forKotaku, felt that while the concept for Mega Starmie was interesting, the design was bland and could have had more done with it. Shepard felt it was too goofy and that it took away from Starmie's usual "elegant" vibe.[99] In a later article forKotaku, Shepard admitted that although he initially hated the design, Mega Starmie became a crucial part of his team during his playthrough because of its increased movement speed.[100] Olivia Richman fromThe Escapist heavily criticized the design as being indicative of Game Freak being lazy and adding that people should feel bad for buyingZ-A.[95]

Additional commentary was made regarding Mega Starmie's walking animation.IGN's Tom Phillips praised the look of the animation, mentioning how it changed from "a more graceful roll to something out of aSaturday-morning cartoon."[10] Commenting on Starmie's Pokédex entry mentioning its walk, Shepard found the different implications of what it could mean to be equally horrifying as either meaning Starmie was supplanting humanity or that it believes humanity walks around "like something out of aHanna-Barbera cartoon," though noted the latter as a sort ofburn to humans.[99] Similarly,TheGamer's Josh Coulson wrote how he found Mega Starmie's ability to walk creepy, although he admitted the way it ran was amusing and as if the "Benny Hill theme" was playing whenever it ran.[101] Richman questioned why the developers ignored its ability to float, calling the movement animations "stupid as hell" and that "Game Freak should feel bad."[95]

Eurogamer's Connor Makar noted that Mega Starmie, compared to other new Mega Evolutions, had been discussed substantially more as a result of its appearance.[93] Shepard reported that a week afterZ-A's release and the design had received a "wave of backlash", players had begun to find the design endearing, commenting that it had "reached the "so bad it's good" status".[100] Following Mega Starmie's reveal, the Pokémon became the subject of memes and shitposts on social media,[10][94] with fans creatingfan art of the design to mock or to express support such as by depicting Mega Starmie with buff legs;[93] fan art was even created by the Spanish social media account of fast-food chainKFC.[102] Other people used the opportunity to create alternate designs of Starmie's mega form, in particular leaning into the space aspect of Starmie, with journalists such as Richman and Coulson thinking they were an improvement over the original and were disappointed the fans design couldn't become a reality.[96][95] In Japan, fans made art of the creature running or wearingstockings,[103] or by comparing / fusing Starmie with the demons Decarabia and Kaiwan from thePersona andShin Megami Tensei series.[94] Both journalists and fans commonly compared its design to a scene inThe SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, in whichPatrick Star is depicted with long legs andfishnets.[104] Fans have also compared the design to the Starmen fromEarthBound,[8][10]Starro fromDC Comics and Starman from theKirby series.[103] Shepard believed that Mega Starmie's legs made it "easy to graft onto just about anything."[100] According to Evan Lambert, Mega Starmie had earned aqueer icon status online, with queercosplayers anddrag queens dressing up as and designing outfits based on it, as well as being used in memes referencing movies such asThe Devil Wears Prada. Lambert described Mega Starmie as a "symbol of resistance" due to it becoming a breakout star despite it initially being rejected by society.[72]
