As long as the center section is unharmed, this Pokémon can grow back fully even if it is chopped to bits.
No number of injuries can bother Staryu. Its amazing regenerative powers return it to its previous state in half a day!
In many places, there are folktales of stardust falling into the ocean and becoming Staryu.
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.
