Card text

Core Guard コアプロテクター

As long as Starmie has any Energy attached to it, damage done to Starmie by attacks is reduced by 10 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

Energy Flip エネターン

Choose 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. This attack does 10 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) You may move an Energy card attached to that Pokémon to another of your opponent's Pokémon.

Psychic Boom サイコブーム 10+

Does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each Energy attached to the Defending Pokémon.

Trivia

The image of Staryu in the evolution box is its Ken Sugimori stock art from Generation I. Since the release of both the games FireRed and LeafGreen and the TCG expansion EX FireRed & LeafGreen, all other Generation I Pokémon used their FireRed and LeafGreen art by Sugimori, rather than the Generation I art, in evolution boxes. Staryu's, however, would not debut until the next pair of Starmie cards released, in EX Delta Species.

Origin

Psychic Boom may be derived from Psychic, a move in the Pokémon games that Starmie can learn via TM29.
