The Pokémon Card Official Book 2000 has this to say about Misty’s Staryu (machine translated);
◆ If several of this “Misty’s Staryu” are out on the field, with that alone you will probably be able to develop the early game advantageously. It returns to the hand with “Star Boomerang,” and on the next turn, another different “Misty’s Staryu” attacks in the same way with “Star Boomerang.” Each time, it deals 20 damage to the opponent’s Defending Pokémon, and you yourself are unharmed.
◆ Of course, since it depends on the result of the coin flip, it is not guaranteed to go that well. For the times when it does not return to the hand, the combination with “Defender” is optimal. If heads comes up on the coin flip, the attached “Defender” also returns to the hand, so it does not go to waste. In the same way, “PlusPower” too can be returned to the hand if heads comes up on the coin flip. The Trainer card “Misty” is not a card attached to a Pokémon, so even if the coin flip is heads, it cannot be returned to the hand. Please be careful.
◆ If you battle relying on “Star Boomerang,” it can sometimes become difficult to raise other Pokémon. After all, each time you attach an Energy card to “Misty’s Staryu,” and it then returns to your hand.
