Starmie H28/144 · Skyridge

Starmie is Pokédex #121, generation 1 (Kanto). Starmie is a Stage 1 Psychic Pokémon with 80 HP. The card says it evolves from Staryu. In this catalog that name is Staryu (#120).

Starmie sits at H28/144 in Skyridge, position 178 of 182. Before it is H27 Rhydon, and after it is H29 Steelix. The set belongs to the E-Card series. It was released on May 12, 2003. The printed size is 144. This checklist is longer, at 182 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

The attack Energy Burst lists 10× damage. The cost is Psychic. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage times the number of Energy attached to Starmie and the Defending Pokémon. Star Back is another attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless, Colorless. Attach a basic Energy card from your discard pile to 1 of your Pokémon. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

Starmie (#121) has 34 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 28 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Starmie 64/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. The rarity there is Common, and here it is Rare Holo. Keiji Kinebuchi illustrated that card, and Hajime Kusajima illustrated this one. 27 other cards of Starmie list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hajime Kusajima. I count 206 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Skyridge set binder is where a full Skyridge set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Starmie can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
