"If Staryu’s body is damaged, it will regenerate as long as the red core remains. The core flashes at midnight." | |
"Large numbers of these Pokémon make their home at the seaside. At night, a strange red glow radiates from the center of their bodies." "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." | |

"As long as the center section is unharmed, this Pokémon can grow back fully even if it is chopped to bits." | |
"Even if its body is torn, it can regenerate as long as the glowing central core remains intact." "It appears in large numbers by seashores. At night, its central core flashes with a red light." | |
"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." "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." | |
"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." "Even if its body is torn, it can regenerate as long as the glowing central core remains intact." | |
