Star Pupil's ability doesn't cause you to move counters from itself to the target creature. Rather, you put the same number of each kind of counter Star Pupil had when it died onto that creature.

If Star Pupil has -1/-1 counters on it when it dies, the last ability will include those as well. This may result in the recipient also dying.

2021-04-16wotc

Star Pupil puts all of its counters onto the target creature, not just its +1/+1 counters.
