Starmie

() is a /-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I and the evolved form of Staryu.
Starmie evolves from Staryu by being exposed to a Water Stone.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Starmie is a purple starfish-like Pokémon with a red core environed by a golden formation. It appears to have more than five appendages.
Interestingly Starmie's "back-half" has been depicted several different ways. In the anime Starmie has the appearance of two starfish fused together; while in more modern games the back-half has been shown to spin wildly completely independent of the front-half of the Pokémon. Many fans tend to think of the anime's depiction as the more realistic of the two, considering the rapid spinning would obviously get in the way of any trainer trying to surf on this particular Pokémon. Starmie's core shines in a rainbow of seven colors, some people value this core as a type of jewelry.
=== Behavior ===
They can flash their gems in a single color, alternating between different shades as if sending coded messages. Starmie swim by spinning themselves like propellers through the water, filter-feeding as they go. 
===Natural Abilities===
Starmie are able to emit peculiar signal waves from the gem-like core attached to the center of their bodies. These waves are said to cause headaches to those who get near Starmie (according to the Pokémon Sun Pokédex entry). The core radiate the seven colors of the rainbow, earning them the nickname "gem of the sea".

===Anime===
In the anime, Misty owns both Starmie and a Staryu at the same time, making it one of the extremely rare cases that a trainer has both pre- and post-evolutions on their person at the same time. She later gave away Starmie to the Cerulean Gym to preform underwater shows, but kept her Staryu.

==Trivia==
*Starmie is one of the five Pokémon that has no visible eyes. The others are Staryu, Zubat, Deino, and Zweilous.
**Of these, Starmie is the only one that doesn't evolve further and gains any visible eyes throughout its evolutionary line (as Golbat and Hydreigon have visible eyes).
*In Super Smash Bros., Starmie is one of the Pokémon that can be freed from Poké Balls. During this time, it uses the move Swift.
