Strategy & play

How Starmie V plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
  • Its main attack (Swift) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
  • Needs Water Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
  • Water type, weak to Lightning ×2 — a Lightning attacker doing ≥95 effectively one-shots it.
  • A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
  • Currently Standard-legal — usable in the main rotating format.

How to beat Starmie V

  • Exploit its Lightning weakness — ≥95 damage one-shots it.
  • It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Starmie V is real?

Starmie V is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
