Starmie

Description

The 2015 Pokemon BREAKthrough Starmie #30 Reverse Holo card is an Uncommon Water-type Stage 1 collectible featuring artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita. Part of the BREAKthrough expansion, this release showcases the classic design language of the era, appealing to those who appreciate the foundational sets of the trading card game. Starmie evolves from Staryu and holds 90 HP, serving as a versatile piece for enthusiasts exploring the game's strategic depth. The card's abilities offer distinct tactical options for players. Water Deep Sea Swirl allows the trainer to shuffle their hand back into the deck and draw seven cards, providing significant resource management flexibility. Alternatively, WaterColorless Balance Bind deals 30 damage but requires a specific board state: if both players have the same number of Benched Pokémon, the opponent's Active Pokémon becomes Paralyzed. This conditional mechanic adds a layer of puzzle-solving to matches, making the card interesting for collectors who enjoy unique gameplay interactions. For collectors, the BREAKthrough set holds a special place in Pokemon history as the debut of the BREAK mechanic, which introduced powerful evolved forms and new strategic possibilities. Starmie #30 stands out as a recognizable Water-type entry in this pivotal expansion. The Reverse Holo finish adds visual appeal, making it a desirable addition to any themed collection or base set completion project. Whether you are building a deck around resource cycling or simply collecting iconic Pokemon, this card represents a solid piece of the BREAKthrough era.
