Abilities

Poké-Power: Temper Tantrum
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may discard as many cards as you like from your hand. If you do, put that many damage counters on Banette. This power can't be used if Banette is affected by a Special Condition.

Attacks

Darkness Switch
Discard an Energy card attached to Banette, and then switch all damage counters on Banette with those on the Defending Pokémon. (If an effect of this attack is prevented, this attack does nothing.)
Loneliness30+
You may show your hand to your opponent. If you do and if you don't have any Pokémon in your hand, this attack does 30 damage plus 30 more damage.

Artwork Description

The artwork on this card depicts Banette emerging menacingly from the shadows, its glowing red eyes and jagged yellow grin exuding eerie malevolence within a dark, ominous environment filled with twisted shapes.

Playability Overview

Banette offers strategic damage potential with Temper Tantrum and Darkness Switch, but its reliance on discarding cards and energy makes it risky and less consistent in fast-paced competitive play.

Binder Inspiration

Main Binder Theme: Haunted MansionsThis Banette card fits great as a Page Anchor on a spooky, haunted-themed page. Place it with other ghost or dark-types to build a mysterious vibe, especially against backgrounds that look like old buildings or eerie interiors.Additional Binder Suggestions: Urban City / Spooky / Dark Purple / Ghostly Haunt / Abandoned Places
