Misty sparsely used Starmie in battle, generally favoring {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} to battle on land (and often {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} by mistake). It seems to be fairly powerful though, as it was able to carry Misty through a long Pokémon race using a combination of swimming and hovering. Despite being genderless, when called into battle it would utter a feminine 'Hoh' cry. Like its pre-evolution, Starmie's core would also flicker with a dull 'bing' sound when it was fatigued. Starmie was typically used in more of a utilitarian capacity than it's pre evolved counterpart, akin to the in-game term [[HM slave]], being used to {{m|Surf|traverse water}} on many occasions | Misty sparsely used Starmie in battle, generally favoring {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} to battle on land (and often {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} by mistake).

Starmie was first used in Misty's Gym battle against Ash, having successfully beaten {{AP|Butterfree}} with Staryu, Starmie was called out against the higher level {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, suggesting that at this time Starmie was more powerful than Staryu. Despite scoring some {{m|tackle}}s, it was tired out by a {{m|Gust}} attack, and on the brink of losing before Team Rocket intervened. | Starmie was first used in Misty's Gym battle against Ash, having successfully beaten {{AP|Butterfree}} with Staryu, Starmie was called out against the higher level {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, suggesting that at this time Starmie was more powerful than Staryu.

*Starmie is the only {{type2|Psychic}}, albeit as a secondary type, that has been owned by a main protagonist in the anime. Despite this, its psychic abilities were never shown. [[Misty's Psyduck|Another one of Misty's Pokémon]] actually showed more of its psychic attributes despite being only a {{type2|Water}}. | *Starmie is the only {{type2|Psychic}}, albeit as a secondary type, that has been owned by a main protagonist in the anime.

**In a similar way Starmie has never used the move {{m|Recover}}, despite being able to learn it by level. The move was later used constantly by [[Misty's Corsola|another of Misty's Pokémon]]. | **In a similar way Starmie has never used the move {{m|Recover}}, despite being able to learn it by level.
