TL;DR — Quick Pick

Pick Gloopie if…

  • You specifically want Sticky Princess as your combat partner skill.

Verdict

Gloopie and Starryon both cover Dark DPS in the Mid (R5–7) band, but they win different fights. Gloopie leans on Sticky Princess and a 100 attack frame. Starryon answers with Night Dancer and 100 attack (100 Defense vs 70). Pick the partner skill and bulk profile that match how you actually fight — not just the rarer dex number.
