Where it came from
The Staryu card (30/108) was released in 2016 as part of the XY—Evolutions expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was designed as a nostalgic tribute to the original Base Set released in 1999, featuring updated mechanics while retaining the aesthetic style and layout of the franchise's earliest English-language cards. It served as a celebration of the series' twentieth anniversary, aiming to evoke a sense of familiarity for veteran players and collectors who grew up during the initial global boom of the trading card game.
The artwork for this specific Staryu was rendered by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who has contributed to the series for many years. Saitou’s approach maintains the clean, brightly colored, and approachable style characteristic of early generation Pokémon cards. Upon its release, the card was widely distributed as a common rarity, intended to be a foundational element for players building water-type decks within the evolving meta of the XY series, reflecting the accessible design philosophy of the original 1990s material.
