Misty rarely used Starmie in {{pkmn|battle}}, generally favoring {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} to battle on land and often {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} by mistake. Starmie was typically featured in a more instrumental capacity than its pre-evolved counterpart, being used to {{m|Surf|traverse water}} on many occasions. | |||
In ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Starmie was used in {{an|Misty}}'s [[Cerulean Gym]] match against {{Ash}}. Misty had successfully beaten {{AP|Butterfree}} with {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, and Starmie was called out against {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, suggesting that, at this time, Starmie was more powerful than Staryu. It dived underwater to dodge Pidgeotto's {{m|Whirlwind}} and shot up into the air to land a Tackle. However, its second Tackle was deflected by {{m|Wing Attack}}. It was blown into a Gym wall by a {{m|Gust}} attack, on the brink of losing before {{TRT}} intervened. The battle was called off and Ash was given the {{Badge|Cascade}} regardless. | |||
[[File:Misty and Starmie.png|thumb|220px|Starmie and Misty]] | |||
In ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', Misty was incensed by {{OBP|Joe|EP009}}'s insistence that he could easily defeat her {{t|Water}} Pokémon as he had done it countless times on the simulator. She promptly challenged him to a real battle and sent out Starmie to prove its strength against his {{p|Weepinbell}}. Starmie used a single {{m|Water Gun}} and knocked out Weepinbell, leading to Joe's ridicule by [[Giselle]]. However, Misty then challenged Giselle, calling her out for not being a true friend. Giselle's {{p|Graveler}} proved to be a very powerful opponent, deflecting Water Gun by spinning and then smashing into Starmie, shattering the center gem and knocking it through the window and into the pool. Starmie's regenerative abilities were also demonstrated, as by the next time it was seen, its central core was repaired. | |||
Starmie was sent out to battle a wild {{p|Oddish}} in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]''. It successfully weakened Oddish with Water Gun and Tackle, but was knocked out in one Tackle from the {{AP|Bulbasaur}} that came to its defense. | |||
It later helped to rescue the trio from the sinking [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', carrying {{an|Brock}} from the ship, and later towing the group's raft out of the range of [[James]]'s raging {{TP|James|Gyarados}}. In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', it rescued the sailors that had been attacked. | |||
[[File:Misty Starmie Pikachu Squirtle Pokemon-athon.png|thumb|left|220px|Starmie bearing Misty across the water]] | |||
It appeared to have an [[Ability]] similar to {{a|Water Absorb}}, even though Abilities did not exist when Misty was a main character. This was demonstrated when, in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'', Starmie chased Team Rocket away with a Tackle, but was knocked out when [[Jessie]] smashed it with a hammer. However, it seemed to regain its health when Misty jetted water on it. In ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', it helped Staryu and {{AP|Squirtle}} put out the fire at [[Celadon Gym]] with Water Gun. | |||
Starmie paired with Misty in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'' during the [[Big P Pokémon Race]]. It made the final four as it was able to surf across the river course. However, like the other contestants, its efforts were sabotaged by Team Rocket, and it was blinded by a {{m|Sludge}} attack from {{TP|James|Weezing}}, taking it out long enough to allow [[Dario]], the man who had encouraged Team Rocket, to make a break for the finish line. | |||
Misty attempted to round off her team of four in ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' with Starmie, but Psyduck popped out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} instead. This happened quite commonly with Starmie and Psyduck. | |||
In ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'', Misty stopped off at the Cerulean Gym after {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} was feeling sick due to a lack of open water exercise. Misty also reluctantly left Starmie there because her [[Sensational Sisters|sisters]] wanted to borrow it for their water ballet performances. | |||

Misty reunited with Starmie in ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'', when she assumed the role of the Cerulean Gym Leader. Starmie was later scared off during {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}'s rampage. | |||
Starmie briefly reappeared in ''[[HS11|A Date with Delcatty]]'' when Misty was feeding the Pokémon. | |||
===== | In ''[[HS16|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing!]]'', Starmie performed as a part of {{an|Daisy}}'s water ballet. | ||
=====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''===== | |||
In ''[[JN140|Bearing Down Easy!]]'', Misty used Starmie to destroy some ice so Ash and his friends could chase after a {{p|Beartic}}. It was soon after recalled to avoid being frozen. | |||

Misty's Starmie (Japanese: カスミのスターミー Kasumi's Starmie) was one of the three original Pokémon acquired by Misty in the Kanto region prior to the start of the anime, and the third to be seen in her possession.
In the anime
Main series
History
Original series
Misty rarely used Starmie in battle, generally favoring Staryu to battle on land and often Psyduck by mistake. Starmie was typically featured in a more instrumental capacity than its pre-evolved counterpart, being used to traverse water on many occasions.
In The Water Flowers of Cerulean City, Starmie was used in Misty's Cerulean Gym match against Ash. Misty had successfully beaten Butterfree with Staryu, and Starmie was called out against Pidgeotto, suggesting that, at this time, Starmie was more powerful than Staryu. It dived underwater to dodge Pidgeotto's Whirlwind and shot up into the air to land a Tackle. However, its second Tackle was deflected by Wing Attack. It was blown into a Gym wall by a Gust attack, on the brink of losing before Team Rocket intervened. The battle was called off and Ash was given the Cascade Badge regardless.
In The School of Hard Knocks, Misty was incensed by Joe's insistence that he could easily defeat her Water Pokémon as he had done it countless times on the simulator. She promptly challenged him to a real battle and sent out Starmie to prove its strength against his Weepinbell. Starmie used a single Water Gun and knocked out Weepinbell, leading to Joe's ridicule by Giselle. However, Misty then challenged Giselle, calling her out for not being a true friend. Giselle's Graveler proved to be a very powerful opponent, deflecting Water Gun by spinning and then smashing into Starmie, shattering the center gem and knocking it through the window and into the pool. Starmie's regenerative abilities were also demonstrated, as by the next time it was seen, its central core was repaired.
Starmie was sent out to battle a wild Oddish in Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village. It successfully weakened Oddish with Water Gun and Tackle, but was knocked out in one Tackle from the Bulbasaur that came to its defense.
It later helped to rescue the trio from the sinking St. Anne in Pokémon Shipwreck, carrying Brock from the ship, and later towing the group's raft out of the range of James's raging Gyarados. In Tentacool & Tentacruel, it rescued the sailors that had been attacked.
It appeared to have an Ability similar to Water Absorb, even though Abilities did not exist when Misty was a main character. This was demonstrated when, in Bye Bye Butterfree, Starmie chased Team Rocket away with a Tackle, but was knocked out when Jessie smashed it with a hammer. However, it seemed to regain its health when Misty jetted water on it. In Pokémon Scent-sation!, it helped Staryu and Squirtle put out the fire at Celadon Gym with Water Gun.
Starmie paired with Misty in The Flame Pokémon-athon! during the Big P Pokémon Race. It made the final four as it was able to surf across the river course. However, like the other contestants, its efforts were sabotaged by Team Rocket, and it was blinded by a Sludge attack from Weezing, taking it out long enough to allow Dario, the man who had encouraged Team Rocket, to make a break for the finish line.
Misty attempted to round off her team of four in Princess vs. Princess with Starmie, but Psyduck popped out of its Poké Ball instead. This happened quite commonly with Starmie and Psyduck.
In The Misty Mermaid, Misty stopped off at the Cerulean Gym after Horsea was feeling sick due to a lack of open water exercise. Misty also reluctantly left Starmie there because her sisters wanted to borrow it for their water ballet performances.
Pokémon Chronicles
Misty reunited with Starmie in Cerulean Blues, when she assumed the role of the Cerulean Gym Leader. Starmie was later scared off during Gyarados's rampage.
Starmie briefly reappeared in A Date with Delcatty when Misty was feeding the Pokémon.
In Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing!, Starmie performed as a part of Daisy's water ballet.
Pokémon Journeys: The Series
In Bearing Down Easy!, Misty used Starmie to destroy some ice so Ash and his friends could chase after a Beartic. It was soon after recalled to avoid being frozen.
Personality and characteristics
As Starmie wasn't given many onscreen appearances, little is known about its personality. When in battle, it was shown to be quite obedient and loyal to Misty. Starmie has been known to sometimes droop and bend its points when in pain or disappointment.
