Misty's Starmie (Japanese: カスミのスターミー Kasumi's Starmie) was the one of the three original Pokémon acquired by Misty in the Kanto region. Its voice actor in both Japanese and English is 大谷育江 Ikue Ohtani.
Misty actually doesn't use it very often, generally preferring to use Staryu to battle on land (and often 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.
Starmie was also one of Misty's Pokémon to be stolen by Keita, along with her Staryu and Goldeen. It was later one of the Pokémon he offered to Jessie and James along with Staryu. However, the Poké Balls supposedly containing them turned out to be empty.
It appeared to have an ability similar to Water Absorb, even though abilities did not exist when Misty was a main character, 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 sledgehammer). However it seemed to regain it's health when Misty jetted water on it.
In School of Hard Knocks it battled a Graveler 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 Pokémon that helped Ash and Co. escape the sunken St. Anne, and later from James's 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, 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.
It reappeared briefly in Cerulean Blues along with Horsea, being reunited with Misty, both were quickly scared off however by Gyarados.
