Provenance

Where it came from

Released in October 2005 as part of the EX Delta Species expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, this Staryu card represents a thematic shift in the game's mechanics. The set introduced the concept of Delta Species Pokémon, which were mutated creatures residing in the Holon region, causing them to possess different elemental types than usual. In this specific iteration, Staryu retains its traditional Water type, standing as a fundamental common card within the set's broader exploration of these unique biological alterations.

The artwork for this card was provided by illustrator Midori Haru, who utilized a clean, minimalist style that emphasizes the character's form against a neutral, patterned background. By focusing on the simplicity of the subject, the design aligns with the standard aesthetic for common cards of the era, which prioritized functionality and readability for players during competitive matches. Upon release, the card was widely distributed in booster packs and theme decks, serving as a utilitarian staple for water-based decks of the time.
