Staryu appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee out of Poké Balls. Its attack is similar to the attack of Starmie from SSB. It will fly around the screen to find another character to shoot at. Once it stops moving and targets a character, Staryu will start to use Swift. Staryu will not move once it starts using Swift. Any character that makes contact with Swift will take damage. Any character can also take damage if they touch Staryu while it's using Swift attack. Staryu's attack does not harm the summoner.

As a trophy

Staryu features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the Trophy Lottery and throughout the various Single-player Regular Matches. It reads as follows:

Staryu

These Starshape Pokemon that evolve into Starmie are found in large numbers at the seashore. At night, Staryu's red center glows and blinks on and off. It's said that as long as its red center remains, it can regrow its limbs. Whether it's related to Cleffa, another Pokemon with a vaguely star-shaped appearance, is unknown.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

Staryu appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl out of Poké Balls in a reprisal of its previous role, with the same method of attacking. Pit's shield cannot reflect this attack.
