Where it came from
Banette (34/84) was released as part of the Pitch Black expansion, known internationally as the EX Legend Maker set, which debuted in early 2006. This set marked a significant era in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, characterized by the continued integration of Pokémon-ex and the introduction of unique mechanics centered around Delta Species and legendary lore. The card reflects the aesthetic shift of the mid-2000s, where artwork began to emphasize more dynamic, digital-leaning illustrations compared to the hand-drawn styles of the early Wizards of the Coast era.
The illustration for this specific Banette card was created by Midori Harada, a prolific artist in the franchise who is well-regarded for her ability to capture the eerie, puppet-like quality of Ghost-type Pokémon. Her design focuses on Banette’s unsettling origin as a discarded doll possessed by pure grudge, utilizing sharp lines and muted, shadowy tones to reinforce its psychic typing. At the time of release, the card was a functional utility piece for players, valued for its ability to disrupt opponents in the fast-paced competitive environment of the EX-series meta.
