Where it came from
The Staryu card (29/162) was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion titled BREAKthrough, which debuted in November 2015. This set served as the inaugural entry in the XY—BREAK series, introducing the new BREAK Evolution mechanic that allowed Pokémon to evolve into cards placed horizontally across the original card, physically expanding the play area and adding new defensive capabilities to the game's meta-strategy.
The artwork for this specific card was illustrated by match, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon TCG known for a clean, vibrant digital style. The illustration captures Staryu in a dynamic aquatic setting, emphasizing its star-shaped anatomy and the central core that glows during its abilities. As a common card, it functioned as an accessible building block for players constructing Water-type decks during the 2015-2016 tournament season, reflecting the brand's long-standing tradition of pairing functional game mechanics with expressive, accessible creature designs.
