Starmie (Japanese: スターミー Starmie) is a Water/Psychic-type Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Starmie, like its pre-evolved form, resembles a sea star. This time its main body is violet but it still retains the gold formation on its front. Starmie’s red jewel core is larger than Staryu’s and has developed to resemble a cut precious stone. The major change that took place upon evolution to Starmie was the growing of a second star on its back. It is semi-attached being able to spin 360°
Gender differences
This Pokémon is genderless.
Special abilities
Starmie’s central core shines with the seven colors of the rainbow when looked at from different angles, but usually shows up red more than any other colour. It can also emit electrical waves from the core that are powerful enough to reach the furthest parts of the universe.
It uses it second star to propel itself through the water and even to launch out of the water and fly through the air for short periods of time. This also allows it use attacks like Rapid Spin.
Starmie still has all of the abilities of Staryu including re-growing limbs, changing its skins color and texture as well as using its core for energy attacks.
Behavior
As Starmie, the Pokémon’s behaviors hint more and more to it being an alien from another planet. At night it becomes active, just like Staryu, although now it will send off mysterious radio signals while its luminescent core flickers.
Habitat
Starmie are a rare sight in the wild, as they require a Water Stone to evolve from Staryu. Not only this, but they are nocturnal, usually only appearing at night. If they are ever found in the wild it is in the deepest parts of the ocean among many other Staryu.
Diet
