Trainer and energy cards carry no HP or attack, so they are left out of these counts rather than entered as zero. "Biggest attack" is the largest printed damage number on the card, before any condition the attack text adds.
HP printed on the 35 Starmie cards that carry one. The typical card is 90 HP. Bar length is that HP against the highest in the group.
Half of these cards sit between 80 and 95 HP. The distance between the two ends is what a single average would have hidden.

Standard and Expanded are the two tournament formats. A card leaves Standard when its set rotates out, so this share moves each year while the card itself does not change.
Each track is the whole of the 35 Starmie cards on file, so the empty part of a bar is the share the answer does not cover.
The four rows are not slices of one whole — a card can be legal in Standard and carry an Ability at the same time, so the bars are read one at a time against the group.

| Legal in Standard today | 20.0% | 7 cards |

Back to summaryThe cheapest Starmie Pokémon cards you can buy
Cheapest first. Each card opens its own price page. Prices exclude shipping, which on a card at this level is usually more than the card.
These six together cost $3.19, against $575.75 for the single dearest Starmie card. The two ends of the same group sit 2,617× apart, and both of them are correctly described as "Starmie".
How Starmie compares with the other Pokémon
"Which Pokémon is the most expensive" has three different answers depending on what you measure, so this section keeps them apart.
Ranked by its single dearest card, Starmie is number 41 of 206 Pokémon, on Skyridge #H28 at $575.75. By card count it is number 66, and by the price of an ordinary card number 154 — three different answers to "is it the most expensive".

Note: Prices on this page are asking and market prices for ungraded English Starmie cards, taken from a daily snapshot of public marketplace listings read on August 14, 2026. They are not offers, they exclude shipping, duty and marketplace fees, and they move. Counts cover only the English cards this site holds on file. Graded prices, population counts, sealed product values and pack odds are not published on this site because no free commercial source provides them.
