Misty actually doesn't use it very often, generally preferring to use [[Misty's Staryu|Staryu]] to battle on land (and often [[Misty's Psyduck|Psyduck]] by mistake). It seems to be fairly powerful though, as it was able to carry Misty through a long Pokémon race using a combination of swimming and hovering. | Misty actually doesn't use it very often, generally preferring to use [[Misty's Staryu|Staryu]] to battle on land (and often [[Misty's Psyduck|Psyduck]] by mistake).

Starmie was also one of Misty's pokemon to be stolen by [[Keita]], along with her Staryu and Goldeen. It was later one of the pokemon he offered to Jessie and James along with Staryu, however the Pokeballs supposedly containing them turned out to be empty. | |||
It appears to have an ability similar to Water Absorb, such as when it was called out to help get a flock of Butterfree back from Team Rocket, it was seemingly knocked out by Jessie (using a sledge hammer). However it seemed to regain it's health when Misty threw a bucket of water on it. | |||
In [[School of Hard Knocks]] it battled a Graverler owned by [[Giselle]], despite Starmie being powerful and also having a type advantage, it lost dramatically, having it's core shattered then being thrown from a second story window. It is one of the two instances a Starmie's core has been seen shattering, the other being owned by a young trainer on the St Anne. Starmie's regenerative abilities were also demonstrated, as by the next time it was seen, it's central core was repaired. | |||
Starmie was one of the pokemon that helped Ash and Co. escape the sunken St. Anne, and later from James' Gyarados. It's swimming abilities were called on again to help get the gang to the North Pole, however it, along with Staryu, Goldeen and Squirtle tired out before they made it. | |||
Near the end of the Kanto adventures, [[Misty's Horsea|Horsea]] was feeling sick due to lack of exercise, so Misty dropped it off at the [[Cerulean Gym]] so it could spend its time swimming in the aquariums there. Misty left Starmie there with it, because her sisters wanted to borrow it. Misty later reclaimed it when she became [[Gym Leader]] of Cerulean. | Near the end of the Kanto adventures, [[Misty's Horsea|Horsea]] was feeling sick due to lack of exercise, so Misty dropped it off at the [[Cerulean Gym]] so it could spend its time swimming in the aquariums there.

It reappeared breifly in [[Cerulean Blues]] along with Horsea, being reunited with Misty, both were quickly scared off however by Gyarados. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
It is the first Pokemon owned by a main character that is considered by fans to be OU in the competative environment, which may explain why it was used so little. | |||
