==Biology==

When the sun goes down, the core glows its brightest. Many 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. 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]].

{{Spritebox/Footer|120|Staryu}}

* Staryu shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Cleffa}}. They are both known as the Star Shape Pokémon.

* Despite being a genderless Pokémon, Staryu and Starmie were programmed to learn Egg moves in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}; however, due to being genderless, these were unobtainable. This was fixed in {{v2|Crystal}}.

** They also have a chance of holding [[valuable items]], {{DL|Valuable items|Stardust}}/{{DL|Valuable items|Star Piece}} and {{DL|Valuable items|Pearl}}/{{DL|Valuable items|Big Pearl}}, respectively. Staryu is exclusive to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|LeafGreen}} and {{pkmn|X and Y|X}}, while Shellder is exclusive to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed}} and {{pkmn|X and Y|Y}}, with both Pokémon found by fishing in the same locations in their respective versions.

* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]] erroneously refers to Staryu as "he," despite it being a genderless Pokémon.
