Starmie (Japanese: スターミー, Sutāmī) is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise. It appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon in SSB. In subsequent Super Smash Bros. games from Super Smash Bros. Melee onwards, Starmie was replaced by its pre-evolved form, Staryu.

In Super Smash Bros.

As of now, Starmie has made only one appearance in the series.

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

Starmie can be summoned in Super Smash Bros. via a Poké Ball. Starmie will levitate around the screen to find another character to attack. Once Starmie stops moving and targets a character, it will begin to use Swift. Starmie will not move once it starts using this move. In this attack, Starmie will shoot a flurry of star-shaped projectiles from its core. These stars will inflict small damage to the opponent, but will trap said opponent, allowing for high overall combo damage. A character can also take damage if they touch Starmie itself, where they will then receive vertical knockback. Starmie's attack cannot harm the summoner.
