Starmie Raid Day: Worth Your Time?
what's actually worth your time / candy
Trainers, prepare for a special Starmie Raid Day on August 22, 2026! This one-day event features Starmie in raids. However, be aware that Mega Starmie is not yet released in the game, so while you can catch Starmie, its Mega Evolution won't be available.
Starmie is a Water and Psychic-type mon. Its base stats are 210 ATK, 184 DEF, and 155 STA. In PvP, Starmie ranks #221 in the Great League and #168 in the Ultra League, indicating it's not a top-tier performer. Consider raiding only if you need a shiny or a specific IV spread for niche uses.
Starmie is weak to Electric, Grass, Bug, Ghost, and Dark-type attacks. Focus on these types to maximize your damage. Top picks include: Electric (Zekrom, Mega Ampharos, Shadow Raikou), Grass (Mega Sceptile, Mega Venusaur, Shadow Chesnaught), Bug (Mega Heracross, Mega Scizor, Volcarona), Ghost (Dawn Wings Necrozma, Mega Gengar, Origin Giratina), and Dark (Mega Weavile, Mega Tyranitar, Yveltal).
For trainers aiming for a perfect Starmie, the 100% IV CP values are crucial. In a regular raid, a perfect Starmie will have 1476 CP. If caught with a weather boost (Windy or Rainy), its 100% IV CP will be 1846. Keep these numbers in mind to quickly identify your perfect catch!
Don't waste valuable raid passes on less-than-perfect mons. Use Hundo Hunter to quickly scan and verify IVs before you commit to a catch. Get instant feedback on whether that Starmie is worth your time and resources, ensuring you only invest in the best!
