Where it came from
Banette ex (229/198) was released as part of the Scarlet & Violet base set in early 2023, marking the introduction of the 'ex' mechanic to the current era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This specific iteration of the puppet-like Ghost-type Pokémon was designed as a Special Illustration Rare, a category that emphasizes artistic expression through full-card artwork that extends beyond the traditional borders, prioritizing atmospheric storytelling over standard gameplay framing.
The card was illustrated by Kouki Saitou, a long-standing contributor to the franchise known for his focus on character posture and environmental interaction. Saitou crafted this piece to capture Banette in a moment of quiet, somewhat unsettling stillness, utilizing a muted, intricate art style that differentiates the Scarlet & Violet Illustration Rare tier from the standard card stock. It was well received by collectors for its aesthetic departure from the high-octane action shots typical of competitive cards.
