Starmie [Reverse Holo] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Starmie δ is part of EX Delta Species, the 2005 set that introduced Delta Species Pokémon—"rare and unique Dual Energy Pokémon" altered by Holon lab experiments—which makes this card a showcase of one of the EX era’s most distinctive mechanics.
Set Lore
The Reverse Holo version is especially iconic to Delta Species collectors because Bulbapedia notes that Reverse Holofoil cards in EX Delta Species used the set’s signature refractor treatment on the artwork background, with Rare Holo reverse prints also getting gold foil HP text.
In-Game
This card’s offbeat Water/Metal typing is a dramatic twist on Starmie’s original game identity, since Starmie debuted in Pokémon Red and Blue as a Water/Psychic Pokémon that evolves from Staryu with a Water Stone.
Card History
Starmie already had anime prestige long before this EX-era card, appearing as one of Misty’s signature Pokémon in the original series and helping cement Starmie as a classic face of early Pokémon nostalgia.
Artist
Masakazu Fukuda gives this card extra collector appeal, because he has illustrated Pokémon TCG cards since 2003 and is especially well known on Bulbapedia for his bold, colorful style and for illustrating every Pokémon Star card in the TCG.
