Banette Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Banette’s Poké-Body Safeguard gave this holo a memorable anti-ex niche in the EX era by preventing all effects of attacks, including damage, from opposing Pokémon-ex.
Set Lore
This card is the very first numbered card in EX Crystal Guardians, a 100-card set from the late EX Series that collectors remember for mixing regular Pokémon with the set’s headline Crystal Guardians and δ Species cards.
Artist
The artwork is by Kyoko Umemoto, whose clean, storybook-like style helps this Banette stand out as a ghostly holo rather than a purely aggressive battle pose.
In-Game
Banette itself comes from Hoenn’s Generation III games, where its Pokédex lore describes a discarded doll that became a Pokémon, giving this card an eerie backstory that fits the EX era’s moodier Psychic types.
Cultural Impact
Banette’s design is widely associated with haunted dolls, voodoo-doll imagery, and Japanese tsukumogami folklore, which makes cards like this feel especially thematic to collectors who love Ghost-type worldbuilding.
