Its Ability

Aqua Recycle

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your discard pile for a Water Energy card, show it to your opponent, and put it into your hand. This power can't be used if Starmie is affected by a Special Condition.

Its attacks

Synchro Gain

20

If Starmie and the Defending Pokémon have the same amount of Energy attached to them, remove 4 damage counters from Starmie.

Powerful Spin

40

Starmie can't attack during your next turn.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    It retreats for free. You can pull it back to the Bench whenever you like, even with no Energy on it at all.

  2. A strength

    Powerful Spin hits for 40 on 1 Energy. Nothing in Rising Rivals hits harder for that price.

  3. A strength

    It has an Ability, Aqua Recycle. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Lightning +20. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read, 281 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.

The other cards of this Pokémon
