How to get Staryu in Pokemon Legends Z-A
Staryu is a Water-type Pokémon available in two locations within Legends Z-A. Its Water-type classification makes it vulnerable to Grass and Electric-type Pokémon, yet it boasts immunity against Fire, Water, Ice, and Steel types.
Staryu spawn location 1
The first area where you catch Staryu is in the Wild Zone 2. However, it only appears at night inside a lake located near the northern part of the Vert Plaza in Wild Zone 2. However, to change the time in-game, you must complete the three side missions and the main mission five. Furthermore, the recommended level to enter this Zone is Level 6, which can aid in catching Pokemon in this area.
Tips for catching Staryu
- Use the benches near the northwest entrance to the Wild Zone 2 to change the time from day to night.
- Staryu can be found just beside this entrance, near the lake.
- Attack Staryu until its HP is 0, and there’s a brief moment where the Pokemon faints, and use the Pokeball to catch it during this time.
- If you are unable to catch Staryu during this time, you can exit the area and enter the Wild Zone again, and the Pokemon will spawn in the same area again.
Staryu Spawn location 2
Staryu can also be found in the Wild Zone 10 area, where it spawns during both day and night. In this area, Staryu can be seen walking near the benches. However, you must complete the main mission nine if you want to unlock this area.

How to get Starmie in Pokemon Legends Z-A
The easiest way to obtain Starmie is to evolve it from a caught Staryu using a Water Stone. To evolve the latter into Starmie, there are no level requirements, making it easier to get the evolved form this way. The Water Stone can be purchased from the Stone Emporium on Vernal Avenue for 3,000 Pokedollars.
If you want to catch Starmie from the Kalos region, you must complete the main mission 24 to unlock the Wild Zone 16. In this area, the critter appears both at night and during the day.
