Starmie 48/107 · Deoxys

Deoxys is a set in the EX series. It was released on February 1, 2005. The printed size is 107. This checklist is longer, at 108 cards. Starmie is 48/107, in position 48 of 108 on this checklist. Before it is 47 Solrock, and after it is 49 Swellow. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Starmie is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 70 HP. In the Pokédex this is Starmie (#121), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Staryu. In this catalog that name is Staryu (#120).

Yukiko Baba illustrated this card. The same name is on 151 other cards in the catalog.

Starmie (#121) has 34 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 27 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 70 HP. The rarity there is Common, and here it is Uncommon. Keiji Kinebuchi illustrated that card, and Yukiko Baba illustrated this one. 31 other cards of Starmie list a different HP.

Core Guard is listed as Poké-Body. As long as Starmie has any Psychic Energy attached to it, damage done to Starmie by attacks is reduced by 10 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). The attack Energy Flip lists no damage number. The cost is Water. Choose 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. This attack does 10 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) You may move an Energy attached to that Pokémon to another of your opponent's Pokémon. Psychic Boom is another attack lists 10+ damage. The cost is Psychic. Does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each Energy attached to the Defending Pokémon. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

I keep a set binder for Deoxys, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Deoxys set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Starmie can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
