Pokémon GO brings Mega Starmie, here’s how to catch the starfish with long legs

Pokemon GO Mega Starmie

Mega-Starmie is coming soon to Pokémon GO. How to catch the monster? We summarize it for you.

What kind of Pokémon is this? Mega-Starmie first appeared in Pokémon Legends Z-A. The monster indeed sparked some discussions – due to its design.

At first glance, it simply lengthened the legs of the crystal starfish, which some fans found not particularly creative. However, the running star later gained just as many fans, as it looks quite amusing when a darting starfish chases a trainer.

Regardless of the differing opinions, one thing is clear: Mega-Starmie is coming soon to Pokémon GO.

Mega-Starmie debuts in Pokémon GO

The monster will be introduced into the game with its own Super Mega Raid Day, as we have come to expect.

Thus, the task is clear: Gather a team of trainers, pack the right counters, move from gym to gym, and take down the starfish.

However, this will not be easy, as the monster will raise quite a few shields that you’ll need to break first. Mega-Starmie is unlikely to be an absolute top attacker, but the effort should be worthwhile – after all, there’s something new to catch.

When does the Super Mega Raid Day with Starmie take place? Mega-Starmie will appear on August 22 from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM. You can also catch it as Shiny.

Additionally, you will receive various bonuses on that day revolving around the raid with Mega-Starmie. We outline these on page 2 of this article. Generally speaking: If you want to know what is happening this month in Pokémon GO, we have our event list for July 2026.
