Team Star (Japanese: スター Star-dan, literally Star Gang) is the villainous team living in the Paldea region. They are delinquent students of Naranja AcademyS/Uva AcademyV, and their uniforms vary by game.

In the core series games

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Team Star is the focus of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's ★ Starfall Street ★ (Japanese: スターダスト★ストリート Stardust ★ Street) storyline, causing trouble for others and pressuring other students into joining. The team is made of five squads, each led by a boss.

When battling a squad boss, they will appear on top of a custom car called the Starmobile (Japanese: スターモービル Starmobile), which has a specially modified Revavroom attached to it with the squad boss's type and a different ability from regular Revavroom. After defeating a squad boss, they will reward the player with a Star Badge.

★ Starfall Street ★

They are said to have had a reputation for bullying and abusing other students, and consequently Clavell had given an order for them to disband or be expelled from the Academy. However, as the player confronts and defeats the bosses, it is revealed that they had in fact been victims of bullying; after they had confronted their tormentors a year and a half before the events of the game, a scandal broke out that led the bullies to drop out. In the aftermath of the incident, the team's founder, Cassiopeia, insisted on taking sole responsibility for it in exchange for the exoneration of their friends. While the director Harrington agreed to their request, the deputy director erased the records of the incident in an attempt to shield himself from blame. Not long afterwards, the deputy director was fired, and Harrington and the rest of the Academy's faculty resigned in recognition of their failure to handle the bullying.

Cassiopeia had suggested that Team Star disband in the aftermath of the incident and left to study abroad in Galar for a year and a half, but their fellow bosses were unwilling to give up their friendship with them and held out hope that if they kept the team going, they might be able to hear from them again.

Upon witnessing the player defeat two Team Star Grunts, Cassiopeia gets the idea to have them challenge the squad bosses and claim their badges; as their code dictates that the bosses cannot turn down a challenge and must give up their positions if defeated, they believed that this would ensure that they would not be expelled because of them.

After the bosses are defeated, Penny reveals herself to be the true identity of Cassiopeia, and challenges the player to a battle so she can announce Team Star's disbanding without any regrets. Following this, Clavell (who had been assisting the player disguised as a student called "Clive" and had come to learn that the rumors about their activities were false) rescinds his order for the team to disband, choosing to address the team's rule breaking by allowing their bases to be repurposed as training centers for other students to learn Team Star's distinctive tactics.

Pokémon: Paldean Winds

Team Star appeared in Take a Breath. In this series, Hohma tried to infiltrate the Caph Squad's Base so he could write an article for the Naranja Academy's newspaper. After training with Eri and some members and seeing the bond that exists between the team, Hohma gave up writing the article.

Trivia

Reason: Catchphrase in other languages
  • All of the five squads are named after five of the brightest stars in the Cassiopeia constellation.
  • The battle theme for Team Star's Squad Bosses is the longest battle theme in the franchise. The first point where the theme repeats is at 2:58, surpassing Ghetsis's battle theme in Pokémon Black and White and its remaster in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon; however, similar to the Academy Ace Tournament battle theme and the Galar Battle Tower battle theme, the repeated music contains a variation in the form of a different guitar solo, resulting in a complete length of 5:48 before the true loop point.
  • The battle theme for Team Star Grunts also plays when battling Pokémon Trainer Youssef outside the Navi Squad's Base's entrance and Pokémon Trainer Harrington outside the Ruchbah Squad's Base's entrance despite both of them not being members of Team Star. They are battled in place of the respective grunts guarding the entrances since they chose to battle the player for their own reasons.
  • Team Star is one of the few villainous teams to have a grunt with confirmed name, Carmen.
  • The team's catchphrase varies according to language, but always include wordplay:
    • In English, "Hasta la vistar" combines the Spanish phrase hasta la vista and the word "star".
    • In Japanese, "お疲れさまでスター Otsukaresamadesutā" is a pun on お疲れ様でした otsukaresamadeshita and スター sutā (star).
  • The Caph Squad shares its name in Japanese, German, and Italian with Gym Challenger Pia, a possible opponent in Wyndon Stadium Champion tournaments.
