# Staryu (Japanese) #016 — XY-Bx: Collection X

## Summary

Staryu hangs mid-frame on its Japanese Collection X common, a brown star with a red core caught against crashing white spray and a cool blue shoreline. The set arrived in Japan in December 2013, almost two months ahead of the English XY base set that carries the same Staryu. A bulk-tier pull, it makes a tidy water-type binder piece for Japanese XY completionists. The modelled guide sits at $1.50 with no copies traded in 30 days; no PSA population is on file.
