Staryu was also used for it's strong swimming abilities, helping Ash and co. escape the sunken St. Anne, and also later helped the team escape [[James' Gyarados]] along with {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}. It also tried to help the gang get to the north pole along with Goldeen, Starmie and {{AP|Squirtle}}, however it, along with it's fellow swimmers, tired out before they made it. It would again be called to help tow a raft to escape a crumbling island made up of Kabuto that were now reviving.

Misty auditioned Staryu for a part in a movie in [[Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]], however, as is often the case with Misty calling out Staryu, Psyduck came out instead. Staryu did get a part however, helping provide the rain effect for the final scene. It's media career also included dancing on stage in [[Stage Fight!]] to help a traveling riverboat show that dubbed acting Pokémon with human voices back stage.
Staryu was often called into battle, even relied on when Misty had access to other Pokémon such as [[Poliwag]] and [[Corsola]]. Staryu's strength was called on in [[Bye Bye Psyduck]], battling Marina's Tentacruel. Upon entering battle Marina commented it was an excellent looking Staryu, Misty responded that Staryu was one of her favorite Pokémon and that she polished it daily. The pampering appeared to pay off as it was able to take down Tentacruel with one [[Swift]] attack. It was however thwarted by her much more powerful Psyduck.
Staryu was also used to fight Ash a second time to win a [[Totodile]]. It battled against his [[Chikorita]], showing high determination, digging in it's heels against a tackle and dodging through [[Razor leaf]] and [[Vine whip]], it was also able to strike a powerful water gun that jetted Chikorita several feet up and across the battle feild, it was however beaten to the ground by a powerful Vine Whip. Misty later apologized to Staryu, saying she hoped she hadn't pushed it too hard and only did so because she had an immense amount of faith in the Pokémon, showing she had a very strong bond with Staryu and cared about it greatly.
In what is considered by some as it's best battle on screen, Staryu was called up against [[Molly]] in [[Movie 3]]. Being under water, Staryu showed to be even more capable than on land. It went up against Mantine and scored a couple of tackles before looping round for another run, before it was able to hit though, Staryu was hit by Mantines Whirlpool, the attack, even combined with a direct hit from [[Bubblebeam]] wasn't able to even effect it slightly, it then easily disipated the Whirlpool with Rapid spin and went on the offensive with several high speed tackles, chasing Mantine through the water in doggied pursuit. Staryu was however ultimately defeated, partly by Mantine's status as a fantasy Pokémon, being more powerful than an average Mantine.
It was also called on in [[Cerulean Blues]]to defend the Gym from a challange by the Amazing Pokémon Brothers. Staryu battled very well, until the brothers called out 3 Tentacruel against it and defeated it with a volley of Poison stings. Despite not being bale to battle, Staryu won from default due to the Pokemon Brothers cheating by using more than one Pokémon, however they tried to justify themselves by saying the challange was against all three of them, however Nurse Joy's ruling standed.
