About Starly B1a 059

Starly B1a 059, Pokemon - basic, designed by Kyoko Umemoto first released in July 2026 in the set Crimson Blaze.

Starly B1a 059 would mainly benefit a low-cost **Colorless / Bird or Staraptor-line deck** that wants to quickly fill the Bench and evolve into Stage 1 attackers, especially if the deck relies on having multiple Basic Pokémon in play early; “Call for Family” is useful for setup, but only if your strategy specifically needs Starly copies. In most cases, however, there are **better Bench-filling cards**: if you want a general setup Basic, cards like **Lillipup, Bidoof, or Combee**-style “search your deck for Basics” starters are usually stronger because they can grab any Basic Pokémon rather than only Starly, and many modern setup Pokémon or Items are even better because they are more flexible. This card **generally should not see much play** unless you are building a dedicated Starly/Staraptor evolution deck and have no stronger search options, since its effect is narrow and the Lightning weakness plus low impact make it mostly a niche starter rather than a competitive staple.
