Staryu [Reverse Holo] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This Staryu is one of the reverse holo variants from EX Delta Species, a set famous for giving even low-rarity cards extra collector appeal through its parallel foil treatment.
Set Lore
EX Delta Species introduced the Delta Species era to the TCG, making cards from this set feel like artifacts from the strange Holon experiments that reshaped familiar Pokémon into something new.
In-Game
Staryu’s Recover attack is pulled straight from the video games, where Recover is one of the signature utility moves the species can learn.
Card History
For many fans, Staryu is forever tied to Misty, since her Staryu was one of her main battlers and helped define the Water-type style of the original anime.
Artist
The artwork is by Hisao Nakamura, an illustrator whose Pokémon TCG work stretches from Aquapolis into the EX era, giving this card a distinctly classic collector-era feel.
