Discover the strength of Staryu, a sick Pokémon known for its Water typing! Staryu is not a Pokémon anyone usually expects to see on the battlefield. In the LC tier (Little Cup), it's a fierce competitor. There were no known abilities back in the Gold/Silver Pokémon games. Its only type-related weaknesses are Electric and Grass. Explore the movesets below to see how Staryu performs in battles.
Staryu is a remarkable Special Sweeper. It's designed to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. In the old days before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Surf is a special STAB-boosted 95-base power Water-type move that deals a hefty amount of damage. ♦ Waterfall is a special STAB-boosted 80-base power Water-type move that deals a mighty amount of damage. ♦ Ice Beam is a special 95-base power Ice-type move (10% chance to freeze the target). ♦ Icy Wind is a special 55-base power Ice-type move (100% chance to lower the target's speed by 1 stage). ♦ Thunderbolt is a special 95-base power Electric-type move (10% chance to paralyze the target). ♦ Psychic is a special 90-base power Psychic-type move (10% chance to lower the target's special defense by 1 stage).

Note: The damage listed here under Versus is not actually calculated using the in-game damage formula. It is simply calculated using typing weaknesses and resistances from the selected type-matchup modifier along with STAB (if applied) to help sort through and give a general idea as to how powerful certain moves might be towards that selected typing after modifiers are applied. Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
