History
Starmie, the Mysterious Pokémon, is an iconic Water-type creature from the first generation, evolving from Staryu with a Water Stone. This card, number 119/091 from the Paldea Fates expansion, showcases Starmie in its full aquatic glory. The artwork captures this Pokémon gracefully swimming in the ocean depths, with light reflections piercing the surface to illuminate its star-shaped body and central gem.
The Paldea Fates expansion is a special set renowned for introducing a multitude of shiny Pokémon. While this version of Starmie is a standard non-holographic card, it perfectly fits the theme of discovery and the rich fauna of Paldea, even though Starmie itself is not native to the region. Its inclusion in the set highlights the diversity of Pokémon encountered or reintroduced into the Pokémon TCG universe, offering collectors the opportunity to complete their collections with timeless classics.
