Where it came from
Banette (14/102) was released in 2010 as part of the HS—Triumphant expansion, which served as the final main set in the HeartGold & SoulSilver series. The card features a distinct, dark aesthetic characteristic of the late-era DS titles, focusing on the marionette Pokémon's eerie nature. Its inclusion in this set was tied to the transition between the game's mechanics and the card game's focus on Lost Zone interactions, a thematic highlight of the Triumphant era.
The artwork was provided by Kent Kanetsuna, a prolific illustrator for the Pokémon Trading Card Game who often utilized a detailed, slightly gritty style to emphasize the ghostly qualities of psychic-type Pokémon. His depiction of Banette was designed to feel unsettling, capturing the creature's lore as a discarded doll possessed by pure grudge. Upon release, the card was noted for its utility in specific deck builds involving the Lost Zone, making it a familiar sight for players competing during the 2010-2011 tournament circuit.
