Where to find Staryu

Staryu is not a wild encounter on any of the standard maps.

Staryu can hatch from a Mist Egg, a Common Egg, a Dawn Egg or a Mystery Egg. Now and then an encounter on a map turns up an egg instead of a wild Pokémon, and which eggs a map can drop depends on its types. The Mist Egg can drop on Frozen Cave, River Rafting, Electricity Hub, 0* Temperature, Leaf Town, and Foggy Wastelands. The Common Egg can drop on Black Forest, 0* Temperature, Jungle, Leaf Town, Reborn Surface, and Legend of Dawn. The Dawn Egg can drop on Haunted Mansion, Desert Beach, Safari Zone, and Foggy Wastelands. The Mystery Egg can drop on 0* Temperature, Desert Beach, Jungle, Foggy Wastelands, Wild Desert, Reborn Surface, and Legend of Dawn. Put the egg in an incubator to hatch it. See crafting and incubation.
