Staryu, (ヒトデマン, Hitodeman), is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

Staryu appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee out of Poké Balls, replacing Starmie from Super Smash Bros.. Once released it flies around looking for an opponent to target, and upon finding it it remains stationary and attacks with Swift, shooting a stream of damaging stars. Its attack can be easily DI'd out of. Touching Staryu while it's attacking also deals damage. Staryu's attack does not harm the summoner.

Staryu

These Starshape Pokémon 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 Pokémon 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 by using Swift. It appears to move faster than the last game, making more difficult to avoid, and also looks like it has a quicker rate of fire.
