'''Staryu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒトデマン''' ''Hitodeman'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].


=Pokédex entries=
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Starmie}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]].
; [[Pokémon Emerald]]
: It gathers with others in the night and makes its red core glow on and off with the twinkling stars. It can regenerate limbs if they are severed from its body.


=Name origin=
==Biology==
Staryu's name is derived from ''star'', referring to its shape, and ''yu'', which may be a misspelling of ''you'', in opposition to the ''mie'' in {{p|Starmie}}. The ''hitode'' in ''Hitodeman'' is probably derived from 海星, [[wp:seastar|seastar]].
Staryu is a golden-brown, {{wp|echinoderm}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with five appendages. These appendages surround an exterior organ called the core. The core resembles a golden metal casing with a red gem in the center, which is held in place by a golden ring looped around Staryu's lower left point. If any of Staryu's appendages are lost or eaten by predators like {{p|Lumineon}}, it is unharmed and can grow them back with ease provided the core is still intact.


It may just be a stylized seastar.
When the sun goes down, Staryu's core glows its brightest. Many Staryu will float from the seafloor to the surface and align themselves with stars of the night sky as their core flickers, displaying a connection with the celestial bodies of space. The [[EP091|anime has shown]] that if Staryu becomes weak, its core will grow faint and flash slowly. During the ends of summer, groups of Staryu tend to gather while lighting up in a steady rhythm. Staryu can be found at the very bottom of the ocean on the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|seafloors}}. There are times, however, when Staryu finds itself in rivers that lead into the ocean as seen in [[Pokémon Snap]]. In [[Generation III]], {{m|Camouflage}} was its [[signature move]].


=Base stats=
In the [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]], and the original Japanese version of the {{pkmn|anime}} episode ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Staryu is classified as {{wp|hermaphrodite|hermaphroditic}}.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]/[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|3DS/Wii U]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Staryu will target one of the opponents, spin towards them, and shoot {{m|Swift}}. Its attack is rapid-fire, but it can easily be escaped from by Directional Influence; the player can still move around while getting hit by Swift. In Ultimate, it appears as a {{sw|Spirit}}.
 
====Melee trophy information====
''These starshape Pokémon that evolve into Starmie are found in large numbers at the seashore. At night, Staryu's red center glows and blinks on and off. It's said that as long as its red center remains, it can regrow its limbs. Whether it's related to {{p|Cleffa}}, another Pokémon with a vaguely star-shaped appearance, is unknown.''
 
====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Star Shape Pokémon. It gathers in groups and flashes the red jewel in the center of its body in time to the twinkling of the stars in the night sky. If it loses appendages, it can regenerate them right away. It can also use {{m|Camouflage}}, which allows it to change its type to match the surrounding terrain. If a Water Stone is used on it, evolves into Starmie."''

====3DS/Wii U Trophy information====
[[File:Staryu 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Staryu trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
'''NA''': ''This Water-type Pokémon, Staryu, greatly resembles a star. Exposing one to a Water Stone causes it to evolve into Starmie. Another star-shaped Pokémon, Cleffa, exists, but the two don't look all that similar. In Smash Bros., Staryu will attack foes with Swift. Anyone hit will be seeing stars! ''
 
'''PAL''': ''This Water-type Pokémon evolves into Starmie when you use a Water Stone. Its star shape makes it rather cute, but that doesn't mean Staryu's not a threat. Its Swift attack will pummel fighters with a flurry of stars. If you notice Staryu's aiming at you, quickly move up or down to get out of the line of fire. ''

==Trivia==
* In {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}, Staryu is the only Pokémon with the [[Field Move]] {{m|Flash}}.
** Once Staryu serves its purpose with Flash, it cannot be captured again, except during the {{p|Kyogre}} mission.
* Staryu is one of fourteen Pokémon that one is able to collect [[foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Staryu shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Cleffa}}. They are both known as the Star Shape Pokémon.
* Staryu was programmed to learn Egg moves in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, but these moves were unobtainable because both Staryu and Starmie are [[gender unknown]] and so could only breed with {{p|Ditto}}. These moves were removed in {{v2|Crystal}}.
* Staryu, Starmie, and {{p|Mew}} are the only Pokémon species that are [[gender unknown]] but can legitimately learn {{m|Attract}} in [[Generation II]]. This move has no effect when used by these Pokémon.
* Staryu may be considered a counterpart of {{p|Shellder}}. Both are Water-types in the {{OBP|Water 3|Egg Group}} [[Egg Group]], both evolve with a Water Stone, and both gain a second type upon evolution. Cloyster is seen as a slow defensive Pokémon, while Starmie is seen as a fast attacking Pokémon.
** They also have a chance of holding [[valuable item]]s, [[Stardust]]/[[Star Piece]] and {{i|Pearl}}/[[Big Pearl]], respectively. Staryu is exclusive to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|LeafGreen}} and {{pkmn|X and Y|X}}, while Shellder is exclusive to FireRed and Y, with both Pokémon found by fishing in the same locations in their respective versions.
**Starfishes and oysters are natural enemies, as starfishes prey on oysters.
* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]] erroneously refers to Staryu as a male, despite it being a Pokémon species that is [[gender unknown]].
 
===Origin===
Staryu seems to be based on a stylized {{wp|starfish}} such as the {{wp|common starfish}}, or the {{wp|Fromia monilis|necklace starfish}} with its vivid red center surrounded by bright plates. Like Staryu, many real starfish have the ability to {{wp|regeneration (biology)|regenerate}} lost body parts. Given its ties to outer space and ability to emit light, it may also be based on literal {{wp|stars}} and {{wp|meteors}}. It is also reminiscent of ornate {{wp|jewelry}}, with its central core resembling a polished {{wp|cabochon}} gem mounted inside a golden {{wp|prong setting}}. The standard color of its gem resembles a {{wp|ruby}}, while its {{Shiny}} color resembles a {{wp|sapphire}}. Its tendency to rapidly spin its body is reminiscent of {{wp|shuriken}} and {{wp|propellers}}.
 
Staryu's [[gender unknown]] designation may be based on {{wp|hermaphrodite|hermaphroditism}}, observed in some real-life starfish species. In the [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]] and the original Japanese version of the [[Pokémon anime|anime]] episode ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Staryu is classified as hermaphroditic.
 
Additionally, Staryu's ties to outer space, its Japanese name, its ability to learn various beam attacks, and the gem in its middle acting like a heart may all be a reference to the {{wp|Ultraman}} series, where Ultra Warriors have similar gems on their chests that start flashing when they are weak, just like Staryu's gem as shown in the anime.
 
====Name origin====
Staryu may be a combination of ''star'' and ''you'' (in opposition to the ''me'' in {{p|Starmie}}).
 
Hitodeman may be a combination of 海星 ''hitode'' (starfish) and ''man'' (possibly in reference to {{wp|Ultraman}}).
