Mega Starmie ex has three Japanese prints in the official Pokemon Card Game database — RR 021/080, SR 095/080 and SAR 111/080, all メガスターミーex from Nihil Zero (M3) — and all three carry the same 330 HP and the same two attacks.
What separates the three is the frame and the artwork credit: 5ban Graphics illustrated the RR and the SR, and takuyoa illustrated the SAR. Limitless TCG, a third-party database, lists three English Mega Starmie ex prints in Perfect Order, and Bulbapedia’s card page pairs each Japanese number with one of them.

The list covers all three Mega Starmie ex rows in the official Japanese card database as of September 30, 2026, together with the three English prints Limitless TCG lists for the same name.
The 3 Japanese Mega Starmie ex Prints
The official database lists three cards named メガスターミーex, each with a different rarity icon and number. “No priced listing” means no Mega Starmie ex product with that number is currently priced in our catalogue; for that print, sourcing requests go through Quick Order.
| Set | No. | Card | Rarity | Illustrator | Our listing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M3 | 021/080 | Mega Starmie ex | RR | 5ban Graphics | No priced listing |
| M3 | 095/080 | Mega Starmie ex | SR | 5ban Graphics | PSA 10 listing ¥4,530 (~$29) / PSA 10 back order ¥4,443 (~$29) |
| M3 | 111/080 | Mega Starmie ex | SAR | takuyoa | PSA 10 back order ¥5,897 (~$38) |
Each row has its own detail page in the database (card IDs 49654, 50062 and 50078), and all three sit in one set. The RR is the regular double-rare frame, the SR is the full-art print, and the SAR is the special-art print with a different illustrator.
Nihil Zero (M3): The Set Behind the Mega Starmie ex Prints
Nihil Zero (M3, ムニキスゼロ) is an expansion pack. Bulbapedia’s list of Japanese expansions (as of September 15, 2026) dates it to 2026-01-23 with an 80-card main set and pairs it with the English set Perfect Order at set level; the official set page gives ¥180 per pack and 5 cards per pack. The official set page is at pokemon-card.com/ex/m3.
| Detail | Nihil Zero (M3) |
|---|---|
| Japanese name | ムニキスゼロ |
| English name | Nihil Zero |
| Release date (Bulbapedia) | 2026-01-23 |
| Type | Expansion pack |
| Price per pack | ¥180 |
| Cards per pack | 5 |
| Main-set cards | 80 |
| English set Bulbapedia pairs it with | Perfect Order |
The Mega Starmie ex numbers 095 and 111 are printed above the 80-card main-set count. Our Munikis Zero listing page covers the set, and the Mega series box ranking places M3 among the other MEGA-era boxes. For the earlier sets in the series, see the Japanese Pokemon card sets in order article.
What the Database Prints on Mega Starmie ex
The three prints share one set of card data. The database shows Mega Starmie ex as a Stage 1 Water Pokemon with 330 HP, and it evolves from ヒトデマン according to Limitless. The evolution block on the official detail page links the names スターミー, スターミーBREAK, スターミーGX, メガスターミーex and ヒトデマン.
| Field | As printed in the database |
|---|---|
| Card name | メガスターミーex |
| Stage | Stage 1 (1 進化) |
| HP | 330 |
| Type | Water |
| Weakness | Electric ×2 |
| Resistance | None shown |
| Retreat cost | 2 |
| Special rule | When a Mega Evolution ex is Knocked Out, the opponent takes 3 Prize cards |
| Regulation mark | J, per Limitless (the database page does not print it) |
The Two Attacks
| Attack | Cost | Damage | Text |
|---|---|---|---|
| ジェットブロー | One Water Energy | 120 | Also does 50 damage to one of the opponent’s Benched Pokemon; Weakness and Resistance are not applied to Bench damage. |
| ネビュラビーム | Three Colorless Energy | 210 | This attack’s damage is not affected by Weakness, Resistance, or any effects on the opponent’s Active Pokemon. |
The text above is a paraphrase of the printed card text. Because the data block is identical on the RR, the SR and the SAR, choosing between them comes down to frame, artwork and number rather than to gameplay. The Mega Evolution rule is worth noting for anyone building a deck: a Mega Evolution ex that is Knocked Out gives up 3 Prize cards, which the printed rule text states on all three prints.
The regulation mark is a separate point. The official database page does not print a mark for the card; Limitless’s Japanese card pages for #95 and #111 show the letter J. That letter is Limitless’s own entry and is not confirmed on the official page.
Mega Starmie ex RR, SR and SAR in Detail
Mega Starmie ex RR 021/080 — 5ban Graphics
The RR is the lowest-numbered of the three and the only one printed inside the 80-card main-set range. It is credited to 5ban Graphics.
Mega Starmie ex SR 095/080 — 5ban Graphics
The SR carries the same illustrator credit as the RR, 5ban Graphics, in the full-art frame. The database shows its rarity icon as SR, and Limitless names the same print “Secret Rare” in its own vocabulary. PSA 10 Mega Starmie ex SR [M3 095/080] has a physical PSA 10 listing at ¥4,530 (~$29) and is also offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥4,443 (~$29).
Mega Starmie ex SAR 111/080 — takuyoa
The SAR is the special-art print and the only one credited to takuyoa. It is the highest-numbered of the three at 111 of an 80-card main set. PSA 10 Mega Starmie ex SAR [M3 111/080] is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥5,897 (~$38). The physical PSA 10 slab listing for the SAR is sold out at the time of this update — restock requests go through Quick Order.
Reading the Numbers: Which Prints Sit Above the Set Size
A Japanese card number has two parts: the collector number and the printed set size. When the collector number is higher than the set size, the card sits in the higher-numbered block of that set. Our guide to reading Japanese Pokemon cards covers the format, and the rarities explained article covers the codes.
| Collector number | Printed set size | Number above set size? | Rarity code meaning | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M3 RR | 021 | 80 | No | RR = Double Rare |
| M3 SR | 095 | 80 | Yes | SR = Super Rare |
| M3 SAR | 111 | 80 | Yes | SAR = Special Art Rare |
Two of the three Mega Starmie ex prints are above the set size, and they are the full-art SR and the special-art SAR. On a slab label or a listing title, that means the number alone tells you which frame you are looking at: 021 is the regular RR, 095 the SR and 111 the SAR. The 111 sits 31 numbers above the 80-card count, and the 095 sits 15 above it.
The English prints follow the same logic on a different scale. Bulbapedia lists the English numbers as 021/088, 102/088 and 118/088, so the English 102 and 118 are the ones above that set’s printed size of 88.
Two Illustrator Credits Across Three Prints
The database credits two illustrators across the three Japanese prints. Bulbapedia’s card page for Mega Starmie ex (Perfect Order 21) says the same thing about the English release: the regular and full-art prints feature artwork by 5ban Graphics, and the special illustration rare print features artwork by takuyoa.
| Illustrator | Credits | Prints |
|---|---|---|
| 5ban Graphics | 2 | M3 021/080 RR; M3 095/080 SR |
| takuyoa | 1 | M3 111/080 SAR |
The credit is the practical way to tell the SAR apart from the other two in a mixed lot: the special-art print is the takuyoa card, and the two 5ban Graphics cards are the RR and the SR. The database lists no other illustrator for the name.
English Mega Starmie ex Prints in Perfect Order
Limitless TCG lists three English Mega Starmie ex prints as of September 30, 2026, all in Perfect Order (POR). Bulbapedia’s card page lists each Japanese Nihil Zero number next to an English Perfect Order number. Limitless shows the English print with the same illustrator credit as the Japanese one in each case, and it prints regulation mark J on all three English pages.
| Japanese print (Nihil Zero) | English number (Bulbapedia) | English rarity (Bulbapedia) | Limitless English page | Limitless rarity | Illustrator credit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 021/080 RR | 021/088 | Double Rare | POR #21 | Double Rare | 5ban Graphics |
| 095/080 SR | 102/088 | Ultra Rare | POR #102 | Ultra Rare | 5ban Graphics |
| 111/080 SAR | 118/088 | Special Illustration Rare | POR #118 | Special Art Rare | takuyoa |
The rarity words are each source’s own naming: Bulbapedia calls the special print “Special Illustration Rare” and Limitless calls it “Special Art Rare”, while the Japanese database uses the icon code SAR. Bulbapedia (as of September 15, 2026) pairs Nihil Zero with Perfect Order at set level, and the card page adds the card-by-card numbers above. For the wider differences between the two markets, see our article on Japanese vs English Pokemon cards.
Mega Starmie ex PSA 10 Listings
PSA 10 designates Gem Mint condition per PSA’s published grading standards. Our Mega Starmie ex PSA 10 listings as of September 30, 2026 are shown below; the back-order route is explained in our guide to PSA 10 back orders.
The physical PSA 10 SR listing is a separate product from the SR back order, and both carry the same M3 095/080 number in the title.
Matching a Card or Slab to the Right Print
Three Japanese numbers and three English numbers make it easy to mix up prints. These are the fields to compare.
| Check | RR | SR | SAR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Collector number | 021/080 | 095/080 | 111/080 |
| Rarity icon | RR | SR | SAR |
| Illustrator credit | 5ban Graphics | 5ban Graphics | takuyoa |
| Number above the 80-card set size | No | Yes | Yes |
| English number on Bulbapedia’s card page | 021/088 | 102/088 | 118/088 |
Start with the collector number, because it separates all three prints on its own. Then read the rarity code and the illustrator credit, which agree with the number in the database: the two 5ban Graphics prints are 021 and 095, and the takuyoa print is 111. A graded slab adds the certification number, and PSA’s certification lookup confirms the certification number and grade PSA recorded. Our condition guide for Japanese cards and the PSA 10 meaning article explain how graded and raw cards differ.
The listing title is the last check. The PSA 10 titles above carry the card name, the rarity code, the set code and the full number, for example “M3 111/080”, so it can be compared with the table above before an order is placed.

What are the English Mega Starmie ex cards?
Limitless TCG lists three English Mega Starmie ex prints in Perfect Order as of September 30, 2026: number 21 (Double Rare), 102 (Ultra Rare) and 118 (Special Art Rare). Bulbapedia lists them as 021/088, 102/088 and 118/088 and pairs each with the Japanese Nihil Zero number.
Which Mega Starmie ex prints are numbered above the set size?
Two of the three: the SR 095/080 and the SAR 111/080, because Nihil Zero has an 80-card main set per Bulbapedia (as of September 15, 2026). The RR 021/080 is inside that range. The full-art and special-art prints are therefore the higher-numbered block.
