S Tier

Starmie EX is one of the few archetypes that can rival Pikachu EX in terms of quick-kill potential and flexibility, It loses a few points due to its status as a Stage 1 Pokemon, but it also gains a few points due to its 0 retreat cost. Don't think that Starmie EX is a poor-man's Pikachu EX, as Water brings an entirely new set of support that can really differentiate this archetype from the competition, and a fully set up Starmie EX can be a frightening foe to face that can go all-in frighteningly quickly.
