| One rule when playing with ''Star'' cards — including ''Mudkip Star'' from the ''EX Team Rocket Returns'' set — is that Pokémon with significant terms in their titles (often used to denote Pokémon that are all part of one set) can only evolve into Pokémon that also share this term. Though there is no mention on how to evolve ''Star Pokémon'', if the rule for other ]es is followed, ''Mudkip Star'' could only be replaced by a Marshtomp card with ''Star'' in its title — a card which, at this point, does not exist.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.pokemon-tcg.com/p_strategy/rulebooks/book_77.jsp#1069|title=Pokémon Trading Card Game Rulebook on Illegal Evolutions|publisher= Pokémon-tcg.com|accessdate=2006-04-13}}</ref> However, since players can only have one "Pokémon ''Star''" card in their deck, then they couldn't evolve ''Mudkip Star'' into ''Marshtomp Star''. This makes ''Star'' cards somewhat impractical, since they cannot be upgraded from their Basic stage state; they are primarily savoured for their rarity instead. The "Shining Pokémon" cards from the Wizards version, on which the ''Star'' cards are based, get around this problem by treating the evolved versions as Basic Pokémon. <ref name=star/> | One rule when playing with ''Star'' cards — including ''Mudkip Star'' from the ''EX Team Rocket Returns'' set — is that Pokémon with significant terms in their titles (often used to denote Pokémon that are all part of one set) can only evolve into Pokémon that also share this term.
