Where it came from
Released in May 2009 as part of the Rising Rivals expansion, this card represents the tail end of the Diamond and Pearl series in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The set focused on the inclusion of Pokémon SP—specifically those belonging to Gym Leaders and members of the Elite Four—and introduced the Trainer SP mechanic. As a standard common card within this expansion, it served as a foundational piece for players building decks around the water-type theme established during this era.
The artwork for this particular Staryu was rendered by illustrator Ken Sugimori, who has served as the primary character designer and conceptual artist for the franchise since its inception. Sugimori’s style for this card adheres to his classic, clean aesthetic, emphasizing the core anatomy of the Pokémon while maintaining a grounded, illustrative quality consistent with the earlier generations of the card game. Like most common-tier cards of the time, it was designed primarily for gameplay accessibility and set completion rather than high-end aesthetic rarity.
