      The following chart shows Staryu's DPS and TDO for every fast and charge attack combination. This chart is useful for comparing the relative strength of Staryu's movesets. You can change the weather and the opposing Pokémon to see how it affects the rankings.

      Legacy Elite Fast and Charge Attacks can only be obtained during special events, or by using an Elite Fast TM or an Elite Charge TM. Legacy moves are marked with an asterisk (*). The table above provides information on different moves Staryu has in Pokémon GO, along with their corresponding DPS (Damage per Second) and TDO (Total Damage Output).

      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Recommended moves

      Staryu not only has disappointing stats but also a bad PvE moveset, rendering it useless in Raids and Gyms.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      🧸 Little Cup

      Staryu needs the Legacy Fast Move, Quick Attack, to be somewhat viable in the Little Cup. While not among the strongest, Quick Attack’s great energy gains help Staryu use Swift and Power Gem quickly to beat Vullaby, Seel, Ducklett, and Igglybuff. However, this limited coverage makes it falter against the rest of the meta.

      Staryu is not viable for any other PvP League.

      💎 The best PvP moves for Staryu are Quick Attack, Swift and Power Gem.

      🌟 Note: Quick Attack is no longer available in Staryu’s movepool, making it unobtainable even via Elite Fast TMs.
