#31 Starmie - Evolutions (xy12)

Starmie is a Water-type Pokémon with 90 HP, featuring a single Colorless retreat cost. Its ability, Space Beacon, allows discarding a card from your hand once per turn to retrieve two basic Energy cards from your discard pile. The card’s primary attack, Star Freeze, costs Water and Colorless Energy, dealing 30 damage and flipping a coin to potentially Paralyze the opponent’s Active Pokémon. Starmie has no resistances but is weak to Grass-type attacks with double effectiveness. The card was released in the XY series’ Evolutions set on November 2, 2016, and is classified as a Rare card. Artist Keiji Kinebuchi designed the artwork, and the card’s flavor text hints at its unusual geometric form, suggesting it may be an extraterrestrial entity. This card’s mechanics emphasize Energy management and strategic disruption through its unique ability and attack.
