"The Mega Starmie ex card launched as part of the Japanese Nihil Zero booster set last week, and in just a few short days, it's becoming a staple in competitive tournaments overseas. As Wargamer lays out, the card is consistently helping players place in Japanese tournaments thanks in no small part to its Jet Blow attack, which does a whopping 120 damage to the opponent's active Pokémon as well as 50 damage to one on their bench."
"Some are even using it alongside the Risky Ruins stadium card which damages monsters on the bench for an additional 20 HP, so you can feasibly wipe out some benched cards pretty quickly with the right combo. Mega Starmie itself is pretty bulky, too, with 330 HP, so knock it off the field can take some time, and by then, you might already have taken too much damage."
Mega Starmie is a long-legged starfish mega-evolved Pokémon that debuted in Pokémon Legends: Z-A and gained attention for its goofy design. The Mega Starmie ex card launched in the Japanese Nihil Zero booster set and quickly became a staple in competitive Japanese tournaments. Its Jet Blow attack does 120 damage to the opponent's active Pokémon and 50 damage to one benched Pokémon, creating constant pressure. Players pair Mega Starmie ex with Risky Ruins to add 20 bench damage, enabling rapid bench takedowns. The card has 330 HP, making it difficult to KO, and comes in three variants including a secret kaiju-style illustration.
