Provenance

Where it came from

The Banette card was released in 2004 as part of the Pokémon TCG expansion Hidden Legends, which drew inspiration from the Hoenn region introduced in the Ruby and Sapphire video games. As a Holo Rare, it served as a primary chase card for the set, highlighting the ghostly, puppet-like design of the creature which debuted in Generation III.

The card features artwork by Ken Sugimori, the lead designer of the Pokémon franchise. His illustration captures the eerie, jagged aesthetic of Banette with a classic, clean focus on the character's form. Upon its release, it was noted by players for its 'Energy Recycle' mechanic, which provided a strategic utility that complemented the psychic-type archetypes popular during the mid-2000s competitive era.
