Starmie ex Deck - Pros / Cons

Strong Energy Acceleration with Misty
Early Game Points with Starmie ex
Articuno ex’s Blizzard Attack is Strong
Cannot Knock Out Pokemon ex in One Hit

Strong Energy Acceleration with Misty

Misty enables quicker attack turns by attaching Water Energy. Even going first, Misty can help prepare for attacks.

Activation Depends On Luck

Although Misty’s Energy Acceleration is useful in battles, it still needs two turns to attack if the coin flip fails. So be mindful of where to attach Energy.

Early Game Points With Starmie ex

With Energy accelerated to Starmie ex through Misty, it can continuously deal 90 damage starting as early as turn two. Few Pokemon can withstand this, allowing for early points.

Articuno ex’s Blizzard Attack Is Strong

Articuno ex’s Blizzard attack also deals 10 damage to the opponent's Bench. Combined with Sabrina, this move can help take down weakened Pokemon on the Bench while dealing 80 damage to others—highly effective.

Cannot Knock Out Pokemon ex In One Hit

Starmie ex deck’s Pokemon max out at 90 damage per attack, meaning it takes two or more attacks to knock out a Pokemon ex. If Misty’s acceleration fails, it can be challenging to keep up with faster decks like those centered around Pikachu ex.

Making the Most of Starmie ex
Quick Wins with Misty and Psychic Power
Keep Staryu Safe from Knock Outs

Making the Most of Starmie ex

Starmie ex really shines thanks to not needing Energy to retreat. Even if it’s close to fainting, it’s easy to switch it with another Pokemon to keep your strategy going. If your opponent tries to retreat, follow up with Articuno ex to keep the pressure on.

Quick Wins with Misty and Psychic Power

The Starmie ex deck’s strength is boosted by Misty’s Energy Acceleration. If you flip heads, you’ll be able to unleash high-damage attacks quickly. If Misty shows up in your opening hand, go for a fast Psychic attack with Pokemon ex!

Keep Staryu Safe from Knock Outs

The biggest risk to this deck is having Staryu Knocked Out, which could make you unable to evolve to Starmie ex and potentially cost you the game. If you have X Speed, quickly switch out with Articuno ex to keep Staryu safe.

Watch Out for Grass & Lightning Types

Against Exeggutor ex or Zebstrika, Staryu could get Knocked Out as soon as the second round. If you see an Exeggcute or Blitzle, consider using X Speed to retreat early in turn one to stay safe.
