Every Staryu card

The short version

Staryu has five printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across four expansions — the earliest in Genetic Apex and the most recent in Ruler of the Skies. It is a Basic Water-type Pokémon with 50 HP, weak to Lightning, with a retreat cost of 1. They run to two rarities — four Commons and one Shiny. The hardest to pull is the Shiny from Celestial Guardians, at about 1 in 559 packs, or 1,000 Pack Points to buy outright. Nine hunts in ten end inside 1,285 packs, which is about 1.8 years at the two free packs a day the game gives you. The printings come out of the Ruler of the Skies, Deluxe, Solgaleo and Charizard packs. The most recent is Staryu #032, from an expansion that shipped in July 2026. That printing attacks with Swift for 20. The card’s own words: “Fish Pokémon nibble at it, but Staryu isn’t bothered. Its body regenerates quickly, even if part of it is completely torn off.” It has been drawn by three artists, Hiroki Asanuma more than anyone else with three cards.
