Pokédex Entries

Red Blue Leafgreen

An enigmatic POKéMON that can effortlessly regenerate any appendage it loses in battle.

Yellow

As long as the center section is unharmed, it can grow back fully even if it is chopped to bits.

Gold

At night, the cen­ ter of its body slowly flickers with the same rhythm as a human heartbeat.

Silver

Even if its body is torn, it can regenerate as long as the glowing central core re­ mains intact.

Crystal

When the stars twinkle at night, it floats up from the sea floor, and its body's center core flickers.

Ruby

STARYU’s center section has an organ called the core that shines bright red. If you go to a beach toward the end of summer, the glowing cores of these POKéMON look like the stars in the sky.

Sapphire

STARYU apparently communicates with the stars in the night sky by flashing the red core at the center of its body. If parts of its body are torn, this POKéMON simply regenerates the missing pieces and limbs.

Emerald

It gathers with others in the night and makes its red core glow on and off with the twinkling stars. It can regenerate limbs if they are severed from its body.

Firered Y

It appears in large numbers by seashores. At night, its central core flashes with a red light.

Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White

If its body is torn, it can grow back if the red core remains. The core flashes at midnight.

At night, the middle of its body slowly flickers with the same rhythm as a human heartbeat.

Soulsilver X

Even if its body is torn, it can regenerate as long as the glowing central core remains intact.

Black 2 White 2

Alpha Sapphire

Sun

Large numbers of these Pokémon make their home at the seaside. At night, a strange red glow radiates from the center of their bodies.

Moon

This Pokémon gets nibbled on by Lumineon and others. Thanks to its red core, it regenerates fast, so it’s unconcerned by their snack attacks.

Ultra Sun

In many places, there are folktales of stardust falling into the ocean and becoming Staryu.

No number of injuries can bother Staryu. Its amazing regenerative powers return it to its previous state in half a day!

Lets Go Pikachu Lets Go Eevee
