Overview |
Starmie are also known as “the gems of the sea,” and for a good reason. Their iridescent cores shine with the 7 colors of the rainbow, a beautiful, but rare (as Starmie themselves are rather uncommon) sight in oceans. They can also flash their gems in a single color, alternating between different shades as if sending coded messages. Starmie swim by spinning themselves like propellers through the water. There are many myths purporting that Starmie in fact have extraterrestrial origins, due to their strong connections with the stars along with their strange radial symmetry. Many believe that when Starmie pulse light from their cores into the sky at night, they are actually beaming radio waves into outer space to wherever they came from. Others think they sprung from the reflections of stars on the ocean’s surface. Though recent studies have shown weak radio waves emanating from these Pokémon's gems, most other claims are unsupported by any scientific evidence whatsoever, and Starmie, despite popular myths, more than likely originated here on this planet. Oddly, some people have reported developing headaches when approaching these Pokémon. Unfortunately, Starmie poaching has been on the rise in recent years, with their gems being highly valued on the black market for jewelry.
