Where it came from
Banette (234/217) is an Illustration Rare card from the Pokémon TCG expansion titled Scarlet & Violet—Temporal Forces. This set, released in early 2024, followed the modern trend of incorporating special artistic treatments that showcase Pokémon within elaborate, thematic environments rather than standard poses. The card features Banette, a Ghost-type Pokémon known for its origins as a discarded plush doll, depicted with a focus on its eerie, puppetry-inspired aesthetic.
The artwork for this specific card was crafted by illustrator Teeziro, who is recognized for a distinct, painterly style that emphasizes shadow and atmosphere. By placing Banette in a hauntingly cluttered setting, the illustration highlights the creature’s lore—specifically the idea of a spirit inhabiting a toy seeking its original owner. Upon release, this card was well-received by collectors who favor the narrative-driven, artistic storytelling inherent to the Illustration Rare subset, which has become a hallmark of current generation Pokémon card design.
