Starmie (64/102) from the Pokémon Base Set Unlimited edition is a cherished collectible for fans of the original Pokémon Trading Card Game. As a Common-tier Stage 1 Pokémon card, Starmie evolves from Staryu and showcases its signature Water-type prowess on the battlefield. Released in 1999, this card hails from the foundational Base Set, which launched the TCG phenomenon in the West and introduced iconic cards that remain highly sought after. The Unlimited version lacks the shadow border found on 1st Edition prints, making it more accessible while still holding nostalgic value for collectors and players alike.
Illustrated by Keiji Kinebuchi, this Starmie card features the enigmatic star-shaped Pokémon with its glowing central core radiating the colors of the rainbow—a detail highlighted in the card's flavor text, which notes that some people value the core as a gem. With 60 HP and a single Colorless retreat cost, Starmie balances mobility and durability. Its attacks, Recover and Star Freeze, offer both utility and control: Recover allows it to discard a Water Energy to heal all damage, while Star Freeze deals 20 damage and has a chance to paralyze the defending Pokémon. These abilities reflect Starmie’s strategic role in early deck builds, combining resilience with disruption.
Though classified as a Common card, Starmie (64/102) holds a special place in the hearts of collectors due to its association with the original Base Set’s legacy. The Unlimited print is widely available in various conditions—from Near Mint to Heavily Played—making it an affordable entry point for completing a full Base Set run or starting a vintage collection. Whether displayed in a protective sleeve or used in casual gameplay, this raw (ungraded) card captures the charm and simplicity of the Pokémon TCG’s earliest days. Its timeless design and historical significance ensure that Starmie remains a standout piece in any retro Pokémon collection.
