Starmie is an interesting Water and Psychic-typed Pokemon. It's pretty standard to find yourself dealing with Starmie when battling in the 2nd generation meta. Starmie can usually be found in the OU tier (Overused). There were no known abilities back in the Gold/Silver Pokemon games. Starmie is weak to Bug, Dark, Electric, Ghost, and Grass-typed attacks.
Starmie is a decent Support. In the dark days before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type. Leftovers are always a great recovery option to ensure Starmie last longer regaining it's stamina every turn.
♦ Surf is a special STAB-boosted 95-base power Water-type move that deals a great amount of damage. ♦ Psychic is a special STAB-boosted 90-base power Psychic-type move (10% chance to lower the target's special defense by 1 stage). ♦ Recover is a status move (heals your Starmie by 50% of its max hp). ♦ Substitute is a status move (Starmie takes 1/4 its max hp to put in a substitute). ♦ Thunder Wave is a status move (paralyzes the target).
