Battle Dynamics
At level 59, Mega Starmie utilizes rapid Water Jet attacks and close-range Zen Headbutt maneuvers. Combatants should prioritize evasion patterns and maintain mid-range positioning. The creature’s assault frequency escalates as its health diminishes, necessitating ample recovery items for sustained engagement.
Optimal Team Composition
Grass-type Pokémon provide dual benefits of amplified damage output and water resistance, while Dark-types counter the Psychic element effectively. Despite Lida’s assistance with water-based allies, her limited type variety reduces her combat utility.
Mega Evolution Strategy
Collect Mega Power orbs dropped during combat to activate temporary Mega Evolution through the Mega Ring interface. Sustaining this enhanced state requires continuous orb collection. Post-battle success rewards trainers with Starminite, enabling future Mega transformations for Starmie.
