Collector Insights

Banette is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 90 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It includes two attacks: "Evolution Jammer," which costs one Psychic energy to deal 20 damage and prevents the opponent from evolving their Pokémon during their next turn, and "Curse Deeply," requiring one Psychic and one Colorless energy to place five damage counters on the opponent's Active Pokémon. The card offers resistance to Fighting-type attacks, reducing damage by 20, but is weak to Darkness-type attacks, which deal double damage. Banette's design is attributed to artist Shin Nagasawa, and it appears in the XY series' Roaring Skies set, released on May 6, 2015. The card's flavor text reflects a narrative of hatred transforming a puppet into a Pokémon, with a cursed energy that escapes when it opens its mouth. It is classified as a Rare card with a Pokédex number of 354.

Strong feelings of hatred turned a puppet into a Pokémon. If it opens its mouth, its cursed energy escapes.
