Overview |
Staryu are mysterious Pokémon that lie on the seabed during the day and float up to the surface at night. They can regenerate extremely well; if any of their limbs are severed, they can easily grow them back. For this reason, Pokémon like Lumineon often nibble on them as a reliable source of food. Even a Staryu cut into pieces can regenerate as long as its core is intact. Their centers are vital to their survival and are irreplaceable These cores glow brightly at night when Staryu are active. The cores of sick Staryu glow faintly and flicker. Groups of Staryu, referred to as “constellations,” rise to the surface each night, cores aglow. They seem to float aimlessly (though they are actually filter-feeding), gazing at the stars. Their cores mysteriously pulse at the same rate as a human’s resting heartbeat. From above, oceans with large numbers of Staryu seem to mimic and align with the the twinkling skies above. Staryu only become active if the stars are visible; if clouds obscure the night sky, they will stay on the sea floor and their cores will not light up. Some say that Staryu are born from stardust falling into the sea from the above.
