What is your HONEST opinion on this creature?

I think it looks really cool.

Friend.

It's cool. We need more faceless invertebrate Pokemon. Staryu, Starmie, and Nihilego are the only ones I can think of.

...

Back in the day when it was considered to have okay bulk and 100 SpA was perfectly viable for an attacker...

HYAH

I think it's very tasty

What sound did it make again?

An incredibly based pokemon used by best girl/mommy

HYA

Toxapex is based on a starfish, retard.

sorry, I guess toxapex existing at all is the bigger issue

Soulful

>mommy
Is Misty in firered and shit meant to be older? is she really mommytier?

>t. corsola

honestly with current speedcreep it might actually get to use it sometimes

I think that's HG/SS, isn't it? She'd be a bit older in that.

She's only 3 years older in the Johto games. Ambiguously older in B2W2. Retards just say "mommy" for any female these days.

you mean t. anyone that isn't specs magnezone

Have you by chance read the electric tale of pikachu issue #6

Well the idea for it is a lot of people like to switch out against Starmie
However this is PVP, in PVE natural cure is just so much better

>HIYAH
and also
>*pained door alarm noises*

Great for fucking up anything with a weakness you can hit, not so much against special tanks.

how did they come up with the staryu & starmie sounds in the games

That's StarYU, dumbo.
Starmie says Ahhhh~

One of my favorite gen 1 pokemon. I don't really care about competitive, but the fact that he was the last gen 1 pokemon along with gengar to get booted out of OU is cool.

I thought it was pretty fucking based because it can learn Thunder

Analytic still isn't a bad ability if you're fast, as an opponent switching activates it.

Granted, it may become less useful if Teleport continues to function as it did in Let's Go.

I think it belongs on its containment board.

How and why they decided in the anime psychic starfish with crystal gems should sound like gargled martial artists and to beep low power noises when injured is surely more interesting of a question

one of my favourites. Excelent move coverage and decent stats.

tfw using focus sash starmie as anti mega gengar and it works everytime

your tears are delicious

Some Pokedex entries implies they're not native to the planet.
>When away from human eyes, its core is said to glow mysteriously in seven colors. This Pokémon may have come from outer space.

One of my favourites across the entire series
>Great offensive stats
>Coverage is fantastic thanks to stuff like Surf, Scald, Thunderbolt, Psychic, Ice Beam, and Rapid Spin
>Evolves with a stone and learns all of its best moves via TM, so you can begin tearing ass with one as soon as you get it.
>Analytic is a fun ability if you have a switch happy opponent
>Makes a weird ass noise

its real good

Having 110+ pretty much futureproofs you from speed creeping. Most of the Pokemon it ties with are pretty damn bad or really don't want gamble trying to win a speed tie vs Starmie.

He's ma boi. I like that he learns thunderbolt.

Analytic activates if your foe switches out, retard. It's on Starmie's most useful smogon set right now because it can put on offensive pressure to make the foe switch out.

It's unironically a useful ability on it

They're based off of Ultraman. The official Japanese YouTube channel even made an Ultraman parody video of Staryu (cause it's name is Hitodeman in Jap).

Okay now explain it without assuming I care or know about ultraman beyond it being prototype power rangers

favorite pokemon in series

most wanted pokemon in real life
i'm a bad person that's always primarily wanted it to use as a boat motor though

>2 staryus stuck together

Why does this thing never get dragged into stupid generation design arguments?

>Asks why Staryu/Me makes its noises
>Gets answer
>HURR WHO CARES

>I gave you the answer
>Just read multiple wikipedia on Ultraman to get it
You disengenuous faggot, your cryptic answer assumes everyone is as much as weeaboo autist as you and knows what Ultraman is
Hint most people don't care for Japanese live action even on Yea Forums

It's cool looking, overpowered, and has a cool cry.

not him, but i'll answer the little baby that feeds solely on the teat of youtube

ultraman is old ass shit
ultraman fights big monsters
big monsters in old ass stuff had dudes in them
starmie sounds like a dude because its appearance evokes big old monster shit

still unsatisfied?
nobody cares about your conversation anymore
be better

Based, but bluepilled

>piss easy to find a Staryu and give a Stone to evolve
>motherfucker has good Sp. ATK and damn good Speed to match
God Starmie made the Poke Cup a breeze in Stadium 2 along with Tyranitar, Alakazam and Machamp to sweep everything else

It's not some faggoty mammal so that makes it better than like half of all Pokemon.

He's the pokemon equivalent of this dude, so he's good.

This. Look more like real creatures and not just like inbred dogs and rats

>WTF ITS A SWORD NOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT THE FUCK HOW IS THIS A POKEMON AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Who are you quoting?

everyone

You look like an inbred dog and/or cat

Unironically my favorite Pokemon. I wish they had more official merchandise for it though instead of Staryu, which I like but not as much. IIRC the only official merchandise I've seen it has is a small plush that every other 1st Gen Pokemon also got.

Some of the Pokedex entries imply it's an alien from outer space, which is a really cool idea imo.

>that way they rock back and forth on their two points
Very cute.

USUM and HGSS together are the peaks of the series. both memorable, unique and polished versions of already great games. fight me

bonus round: gen 3 a shit

>"hey that's a cool looking monster"
>click image
>it's mother nature's work

Fuck

>two staryu slapped together

lazy af genwun trash

It looks like it could do with a pail of water

he LITERALLY gave you a fucking youtube video to educate yourself.

Die.

Why would it want a crumby pail of water when it could have Pokémon creatures?

It is a pokemon, having other pokemon creatures would be slavery.

it shiny

Two starfish 96ing eachother.

Replace USUM with B2W2 or Plat

Definitely one of my favorites. I always wondered why Misty used Staryu instead in the anime and then when I got cynical as an adult I realized it was probably because Starmie is much more complicated to draw.

Love him

But I love the Honedge line and object Pokemon in general.

what moves should he learn? which of these 5 should I give up, or what am I missing
>psychic
>surf
>ice beam
>thunderbolt
>recover

if you're not investing in bulk then recover won't help you much compared to beambolt or stab attacks
