In-Depth Analysis
Starmie's 520 base stat total marks it as a fast attacker that leans on outspeeding threats and hitting hard. Speed (115) carries most matchups, but a low HP stat of 60 means careful positioning matters.
Defensively, the Water, Psychic combination gives Starmie 6 resistances and 5 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 5 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A catch rate of 60 puts Starmie in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Speed +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
