Starmie 5/16 · Pokémon Rumble

Pokémon Rumble is a set in the Other series. It was released on December 2, 2009. The printed size is 16, and the checklist is the same length. Starmie is 5/16, in position 5 of 16 on this checklist. Before it is 4 Heatran, and after it is 6 Gyarados.

Starmie is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 80 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).

Pokemon Rumble illustrated this card. The same name is on 15 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 80 HP. Keiji Kinebuchi illustrated that card, and Pokemon Rumble illustrated this one. 27 other cards of Starmie list a different HP.

The attack Spiral Drain lists 50 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. Remove 1 damage counter from Starmie. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

I keep a set binder for Pokémon Rumble, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Pokémon Rumble 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.
