As per my last post, I've been running some calcs with a Life Orb set (listed below), but it's pretty underwhelming as a general rule. It just lacks a strong enough punch in most circumstances to warrant a slot on teams. I could see it potentially having two options: specs (which is pretty limiting) or place it on a rain team, which would boost Hydro Pump and allow Thunderbolt to be upgraded to Thunder (though that doesn't patch up the average Psychic damage). Except of course that would be generally outclassed by Golduck, save for a few niche improvements in that it gets electric coverage and is still fast outside of the rain, but it kind of needs that rain to function reliably, so that's not much of an improvement anyway. Starmie's best bet seems to be more in the Smogon realm, where it can cherry pick which one enemy it has to go up against instead of dealing with two.
