Where it came from
Banette ex (088/198) was released in 2023 as part of the Scarlet & Violet base set, representing the return of the 'ex' mechanic to the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This specific iteration serves as a modern reimagining of the mechanic, emphasizing high-HP basic or stage-evolving Pokémon with powerful signature abilities and attacks. The card design leans into the thematic creepiness of Banette, a Pokémon known for its grudge-filled origin of being an abandoned plush doll brought to life by dark energy.
The card features artwork that highlights the updated aesthetic shift introduced in the Scarlet & Violet era, which favors cleaner borders and more vibrant, glossy printing techniques. As a Double Rare card, it is intended to be a centerpiece for players focusing on psychic-type decks, utilizing its 'Everlasting Darkness' attack to control the flow of the game. It was received as a functional, mid-tier competitive card that pays homage to the legacy of ghost-type representation in the TCG.
