Misty's Staryu
A basic Water Pokemon that can stop an opponent's attacker with a coin flip.
What this card does
Misty's Staryu has 70 HP and requires one Water Energy to attack.
It uses Bubble Beam to deal 20 damage and flips a coin.
If the coin lands on heads, the opponent's Active Pokemon becomes Paralyzed.
