How to get Starmie ex
Choose the Charizard booster within Genetic Apex; the pack name is more specific than the expansion name. Match A1 and collector number 76 when checking the card. The denominator 226 is its printed standard-set numbering, not a total including secret cards. A later expansion containing the same Pokémon name can be a separate effect or a reprint. Use the table to compare pack availability before spending resources on a particular booster.

How this Starmie ex printing works
Hydro Splash deals 90 damage without an additional printed effect. This 130 HP Stage 1 Water ex has a straightforward attack, but a deck still needs Staryu and the required Energy. A knockout awards two points. Compare the tempo gained by attacking with the risk of exposing it to a knockout.

Deck choices and printing differences
Use the Water deck library and budget lists to compare support cards. These are browsing routes, not a claim that every deck includes this printing. Exact inclusion is established by the 20-card lists and their cited sources.
The printing table separates collector records, including alternate artwork where the database records it separately. A repeated name alone does not establish an identical attack or Ability. Match set, number, and printed effect before substituting cards. For rarity restrictions and eligibility, see the trading guide; being listed in a pack does not guarantee that every version can be traded.
