Starmie appears to be a stylized {{wp|starfish}}. Given its ties to outer space, it may also be a pun on a literal {{wp|star}}.

This pokemon has a striking resemblance to the ephyra of a moon jelly, Starmie's jewel appearing to be the aradial canal and manubrium while its multiple star points are a oversimplification of the lappets.


Starmie's gem being cut evokes the idea of some form of jewelry. Notably, the eight {{wp|facet}}s prominently witnessed upon Starmie's gemstone (adjacent to the center facet) would be called the star facets, were it a real jewel.
