Mega Starmie ex #118

Mega Starmie ex from the Perfect Order set stands out as a highly desirable Special Illustration Rare and Secret Rare. Its card number, 118/88, explicitly signifies its status as a secret card, appearing beyond the standard set count and making it one of the most challenging pulls for collectors. Special Illustration Rares are particularly prized for their unique, expansive artwork that often covers the entire card, offering a distinct visual appeal that contributes significantly to its collectibility and perceived value within the TCG community.

As a Mega Evolution Pokémon ex, this card boasts a formidable 330 HP and carries the standard rule that an opponent takes three Prize cards upon its Knock Out, reflecting its powerful presence. Its attacks offer strategic depth: "Jetting Blow" deals damage to both the Active Pokémon and one of the opponent's Benched Pokémon, while "Nebula Beam" strikes with unhindered force, ignoring Weakness, Resistance, and any effects on the opponent's Active Pokémon. These mechanics, combined with Starmie's Pokédex description as a "Mysterious Pokémon" whose rainbow-colored core is valued as a gem, underscore its unique appeal as both a collector's item and a potent card.
