Collector Insights

Banette is a Psychic-type Pokémon from the Sword & Shield series, featured in the Vivid Voltage set released on November 13, 2020. It has 90 HP and requires one Colorless energy to retreat, with a converted retreat cost of 1. The card’s ability, Curse of Devolution, allows players to devolve an opponent’s Benched evolved Pokémon by discarding the highest Stage Evolution card from it during an evolution. Its primary attack, Spooky Shot, costs one Psychic and one Colorless energy to deal 40 damage. Banette resists Fighting-type attacks by 30 and is weak to Darkness-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card’s flavor text reflects a narrative of resentment and transformation, suggesting a connection to its origins as a stuffed toy. Artist kodama’s design captures the Pokémon’s eerie, ghostly aesthetic. This Rare card is numbered 68 in its set and marked with regulation code D.

Resentment at being cast off made it spring into being. Some say that treating it well will satisfy it, and it will once more become a stuffed toy.
