Starmie-GX · Hidden Fates, what to know.
About the Starmie-GX card
Numbered 14 of 69 in Hidden Fates, released in August 2019, Starmie-GX is a Rare Holo GX, a Stage 1 Water-type carrying 190 HP.
It evolves from Staryu, so Starmie-GX is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

What is Starmie-GX worth?
Starmie-GX is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Hidden Fates's value. The rarity tier decides most of it, since the same card prints at several tiers with very different prices. In top-grade 1st Edition, Hidden Fates holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Starmie-GX before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
On a holo like Starmie-GX, surface is the grade cap. The water foil shows hairlines under raking light, and the print reveals scratches that flat scans miss. Centering on the left and right borders is the second thing to check.
If you are collecting Starmie-GX
When you go to buy Starmie-GX, settle three things in order: the print variant, the condition, and a comp for that exact combination. A blended average across variants will mislead you on Starmie-GX, so price the specific copy in front of you.
