Pokémon Trading Card Game Misty’s Staryu (Reverse Holo)

This official Pokémon Trading Card Game Reverse Holo card features Misty’s Staryu, a variant of the resilient Star Shape Pokémon, as a Water-type Basic Pokémon. The artwork by Shinya Komatsu captures its serene and durable nature, referencing its Pokédex ability to quickly regenerate even if part of its body is torn off, unfazed by Fish Pokémon nibbling at it.

As a Basic Pokémon, Misty’s Staryu offers early-game disruption. Its single attack, Bubble Beam (cost: one Water Energy), deals 20 damage. Additionally, a coin flip grants a chance to inflict Paralysis on your opponent’s Active Pokémon, potentially locking it in place for a crucial turn.

Classified as a Common card (denoted by the circle symbol and in a Reverse Holo variant), it has 70 HP. It carries a Lightning-type Weakness (x2), no Resistance, and a one-Colorless Energy Retreat Cost. This Reverse Holo version adds collectible appeal to a card that is both the first step in the Staryu > Starmie evolution line and a useful early-game disruptive tool for Water decks, especially those themed around the Gym Leader Misty.
