Looking for a Staryu

[Nemesis2077]

Hi!

 

Looking for a Staryu, Starmie is my favorite Pokemon and I don't want to wait until most of the way through the game to get one. Nature and IVs don't matter, I'll take whatever I can get, thank you in advance!

Me to, Starmie is one of my favourites also.

I didn't do the super rod quest but i'm sure you can still get one with a good rod.

I'm trying to find one also.

The same is true for the Pokémon games: at first glance, it seems like it takes a very long time to get rare Water-type Pokémon like Starmie, but a detailed study of the spawn rules and the mechanics of hidden locations shows that you can get what you want with minimal effort right from the very beginning of your journey.


The idea of a $4 deposit casino sounded more like marketing until I read https://tenngrand.com/low-stakes-gambling-in-canada-and-the-role-of-the-4-deposit-casino/. The article makes an interesting distinction between a low entry amount and genuinely low-cost play. Minimum bets, fees, bonus thresholds, and withdrawal rules can all change how far that small deposit actually goes.

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to catch Staryu in the Kanto-generation games (FireRed / LeafGreen) right at the start of the game. The main reason is that this Pokémon can only be caught using the Super Rod, which you receive roughly halfway through the story. Additionally, if you’re playing the official versions, Staryu is exclusive to LeafGreen. It cannot be found in the wild in FireRed, and you can only obtain it through trading (or cheat codes, if you’re playing on an emulator).
