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. | Misty rarely used Starmie in {{pkmn|battle}}, generally favoring {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} to battle on land and often {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} by mistake.

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.

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. | ||

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. | Starmie was sent out to battle a wild {{p|Oddish}} in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]''.

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' raging {{TP|James|Gyarados}}.

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!]]''. 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. | Starmie paired with Misty in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]''.
