'''Team Star''' (Japanese: '''{{j|スター{{tt|団|だん}}}}''' ''Star-dan'', literally ''Star Gang'') is the [[villainous team]] living in the [[Paldea]] region. They are delinquent students of [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}, and their uniforms vary by game.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
Team Star is the focus of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}'s ★ Starfall Street ★ (Japanese: '''スターダスト★ストリート''' ''Stardust ★ Street'') storyline, causing trouble for others and pressuring other students into joining. The team is made of five squads, each led by a boss. 

When battling a squad boss, they will appear on top of a custom car called the [[Starmobile]] (Japanese: '''スターモービル''' ''Starmobile''), which has a specially modified {{p|Revavroom}} attached to it with the squad boss's type and a different ability from regular Revavroom. After defeating a squad boss, they will reward the player with a [[Badge|Star Badge]].

They are said to have had a reputation for bullying and abusing other students, and consequently [[Clavell]] had given an order for them to disband or be expelled from the Academy. However, as the {{player}} confronts and defeats the bosses, it is revealed that they had in fact been victims of bullying; after they had confronted their tormentors a year and a half before the events of the game, a scandal broke out that led the bullies to drop out. In the aftermath of the incident, the team's founder, [[Cassiopeia]], insisted on taking sole responsibility for it in exchange for the exoneration of their friends. While the director [[Harrington]] agreed to their request, the deputy director erased the records of the incident in an attempt to shield himself from blame. Not long afterwards, the deputy director was fired, and Harrington and the rest of the Academy's faculty resigned in recognition of their failure to handle the bullying. 

Cassiopeia had suggested that Team Star disband in the aftermath of the incident and left to study abroad in Galar for a year and a half, but their fellow bosses were unwilling to give up their friendship with them and held out hope that if they kept the team going, they might be able to hear from them again.

Upon witnessing the player defeat two Team Star Grunts, Cassiopeia gets the idea to have them challenge the squad bosses and claim their badges; as their code dictates that the bosses cannot turn down a challenge and must give up their positions if defeated, they believed that this would ensure that they would not be expelled because of them. 

After the bosses are defeated, [[Penny]] reveals herself to be the true identity of Cassiopeia, and challenges the player to a battle so she can announce Team Star's disbanding without any regrets. Following this, Clavell (who had been assisting the player disguised as a student called "Clive" and had come to learn that the rumors about their activities were false) rescinds his order for the team to disband, choosing to address the team's rule breaking by allowing their bases to be repurposed as training centers for other students to learn Team Star's distinctive tactics.

==Trivia==
* All of the five squads are named after five of the brightest {{wp|List of stars in Cassiopeia|stars}} in the constellation {{wp|Cassiopeia (constellation)|Cassiopeia}}.
** The Caph Squad shares its name in Japanese, German, and Italian with {{tc|Gym Challenger}} Pia, a possible opponent in [[Wyndon Stadium/Champion tournaments|Wyndon Stadium Champion tournaments]].
* The battle theme for Team Star's Squad Bosses is the longest battle theme in the franchise. The first point where the theme repeats is at 2:58, surpassing [[Ghetsis]]'s battle theme in {{game|Black and White|s}} and its remaster in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}; however, similar to the [[Academy Ace Tournament]] battle theme and the {{OBP|Battle Tower|Galar|Galar Battle Tower}} battle theme, the repeated music contains a variation in the form of a different guitar solo, resulting in a complete length of 5:48 before the true loop point.
* The battle theme for {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s also plays when battling [[Pokémon Trainer]] Youssef outside the Navi Squad's Base's entrance and Pokémon Trainer [[Harrington]] outside the Ruchbah Squad's Base's entrance; despite both of them not being members of Team Star, they are battled in place of the respective grunts guarding the entrances since both of them chose to battle the player for their own reasons.
** Youssef considers Atticus his "dear compadre", explaining that Atticus once saved his life, and as a result, he is willing to protect Atticus from bullies or anyone else antagonizing Atticus, such as the player, which is why he battles them, allowing the entrance grunt to warn the rest of the Navi Squad of the player's arrival in advance.
** Harrington, Ortega's piano tutor, was informed by the entrance grunt that the player was planning to raid the Ruchbah Squad's Base, led by Ortega, and indulges them in a battle before letting the player challenge the Ruchbah Squad.
* One of the grunts from the Caph Squad is named Carmen, thus making Team Star one of the very few villainous teams in the franchise to have grunts with confirmed names. Additionally, Carmen uses {{tc|Team Star}} as her [[Trainer class]], instead of Team Star Grunt.
* The team's catchphrase, "Hasta la vistar", combines the Spanish phrase "Hasta la vista", meaning "See you later", and the word "star".
