Where it came from
Banette ex (85/92) was released in the 2006 Legend Maker expansion, which served as the ninth set in the EX Series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The card represents the heightened power mechanics introduced during the EX era, where evolved Pokémon were given 'ex' status to denote significantly higher health points and powerful attacks. This specific release focused on the lore of the Mirage Island and the legendary Mew, bringing a variety of Ghost and Psychic-type Pokémon into the spotlight.
The artwork for this card was provided by illustrator Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most prolific and recognizable artists in the franchise. Arita utilized a sharp, high-contrast aesthetic that emphasizes the eerie, puppet-like design of Banette, moving away from the softer, watercolor-heavy styles of early sets toward a more dynamic and polished digital aesthetic. The card was well-received by competitive players at the time for its disruptive potential and remains a notable example of the mid-2000s card design language.
