Banette EX Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
In-Game
Banette ex hits harder because Banette’s core game lore is all about a discarded doll fueled by spite, making Shadow Chant feel like a perfect TCG translation of its grudge-filled Pokédex identity.
Card History
This card’s Shady Move Poké-Power lets Banette ex shift damage counters between any Pokémon in play, a sneaky board-control effect that fits Banette’s curse-and-manipulation theme unusually well for the ex era.
Set Lore
Banette was important enough to headline one of the English EX Legend Maker booster pack artworks, giving this ex an extra layer of identity for collectors who love pack-art Pokémon.
Artist
Banette ex was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most celebrated artists in Pokémon TCG history, which gives the card added appeal for collectors who chase iconic illustrator names as much as iconic Pokémon.
Cultural Impact
Few Pokémon from Hoenn carry a creepier hook than Banette’s ‘abandoned toy come to life’ origin, and that ghost-story energy is a big reason cards like Banette ex feel so memorable in binder pages from the ex era.
