You have three starter choices: Ankylo, Sheemp, and Capacibee. Each comes with different stats, cards, and abilities, and all of them can be great choices. The best spirit is Capacibee as its ability is a lifesaver and it has strong starting cards and stats.
In this guide, I will list the cards and stats of all three starters to help you decide on the best spirit to choose early on in Moonstone Island.

Ankylo Cards & Stats
Ankylo is an earth-type starter that’s weak to Ice and Water. Here are its starting stats:
| HP | 20 |
| Armor | 2 |
| Speed | 3 |
| Vitality | 3 |
| Power | 4+1 |
- Drop Kick: Deal 4 damage and draw one Attack card from your draw/discard pile.
- Bash (3x): Reduce target’s armor by 1.
- Rage: Apply 1 Rage (Rage: deal and receive double damage on each attack).
- Rock Throw (2x): Deal 4 Earth damage.
- Tackle (2x): Deal 4 Damage.
Lastly, Ankylo has the Bad Temper ability, which passively grants it 1 Rage every 3 turns.
Overall, Rage is a high-risk high-reward mechanic and it’s only recommended if you’re confident.
Sheemp Cards & Stats
Sheemp is a fire-type starter that’s weak to water and psychic moves. These are its starting stats:
| HP | 20 |
| Armor | 3 |
| Speed | 3 |
| Vitality | 3 |
| Power | 4+1 |
- Fireball: Deal 4 damage to two random enemies.
- Bash (3x): Reduce target’s armor by 1.
- Burn: Apply 4 Burn and reduce armor by 1. (Burn: deal damage at the start of each turn).
- Tackle (2x): Deal 4 damage.
- Torch (2x): Deal 4 Fire damage.
Sheemp has the Hot to Touch ability which causes it to apply Burn equal to its power to a random enemy whenever it takes Fire damage.
Hot to Touch will make your life significantly easier on a Fire Island but won’t see much use otherwise.
Capacibee Cards & Stats
Last but not least, Capacibee is an electric-type starter that’s weak to dark and ice moves. These are its starting stats:
| HP | 20 |
| Armor | 2 |
| Speed | 3 |
| Vitality | 3 |
| Power | 4+2 |
- Bash (3x): Reduce target’s armor by 1.
- Charge: Apply 2 Charge (Charge: deal additional damage with your next attacks).
- Shock: Deal two Electric damage four times.
- Tackle (2x): Deal four damage.
- Zap (2x): Deal two Electric damage.
Capacibee’s ability is called Recharge, which allows it to restore its HP back to 10 when it dies for the first time.
Recharge is one of the strongest abilities in the game as it offers an unconditionally amazing effect.
Best Starting Spirit in Moonstone Island
Overall, the best starting spirit in Moonstone Island is Capacibee. It has the highest starting power stat, a solid deck, and the best starting ability.
With this Spirit, you’ll be able to progress through the game and won’t have to worry about being careless or making mistakes. It makes the game easier and more forgiving, so it’s a great starting option.
Also, it’s important to note that you can find all three starting spirits in the wild. The only tricky one to locate is Ankylo, which can be hatched from random earth eggs.
