In what is considered by some as its best battle on screen, Staryu was called up against [[Molly Hale]] in [[Spell of the Unown|the third movie]]. Being under water, Staryu showed to be even more capable than on land. It went up against {{p|Mantine}} and scored a couple of {{m|Tackle}}s before looping round for another run. Before it was able to hit, Staryu was hit by Mantine's {{m|Whirlpool}}, although the attack, even combined with a direct hit from {{m|BubbleBeam}}, wasn't able to even effect it slightly. It then easily dissipated the Whirlpool with {{m|Rapid Spin}} and went on the offensive with several high speed Tackles, chasing Mantine through the water in dogged pursuit. | In what is considered by some as its best battle on screen, Staryu was called up against [[Molly Hale]] in [[Spell of the Unown|the third movie]].

It was also called on in ''[[H002|Cerulean Blues]]'' to defend the [[Cerulean City]] [[Cerulean Gym|Gym]] from a challenge by the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]]. Staryu battled very well, until the brothers called out three Tentacruel against it and defeated it with a volley of {{m|Poison Sting}}s. Despite not being able to battle, Staryu won by default due to the Pokémon Brothers cheating by using more than one Pokémon. They tried to justify themselves by saying the challenge was against all three of them, however Nurse Joy's ruling stood. | It was also called on in ''[[H002|Cerulean Blues]]'' to defend the [[Cerulean City]] [[Cerulean Gym|Gym]] from a challenge by the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]].

Misty used it to battle Dr.Yung's mirage Aggron. Staryu began with a direct hit with Bubblebeam, which failed to phase Aggron. It was then struck with a strong Sandstrom attack. Misty then ordered Water gun to be used, this was countered with Thunder Wave, Staryu was then finished with a volley of Bullet Seed. | ||
Misty used Staryu quite often in Kanto and during the Orange Islands saga. However, after she captured her {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}}, she started to use it less often. By the end of the Johto saga, Misty hardly ever used Staryu, preferring to use her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}} and {{TP|Misty|Politoed}}. | Misty used Staryu quite often in Kanto and during the Orange Islands saga.
