History

Banette is a Ghost-type Pokémon from Generation III (Ruby/Sapphire), evolving from Shuppet at level 37. It is a possessed marionette doll abandoned by its trainer, fueled by grudge and malice, seeking revenge. Mega Banette gains a zipper mouth and enhanced ghostly powers via Mega Stone, emphasizing its vengeful puppet theme with signature move Shadow Claw.

First printed in English as 2026 Mega Evolution: Ascended Heroes set, released early 2026, focusing on Mega Evolution Pokémon with special illustration treatments.

  • This is an Illustration Rare (IR) featuring Mega Banette artwork
  • Part of the French-localized 'Héros Transcendants' set
  • One of 4 tracked Banette variants in the set including Base, Reverse Holo, and Energy variants

Collector notes

Condition. Check for edge whitening, surface scratches on holo pattern, centering on artwork frame, print lines on textured background; common flaws include corner dings from booster packs and zipper detail print defects in Lightly Played copies.

Storage. Use penny sleeves + semi-rigid top loaders, store upright in cool, dry environment away from sunlight to prevent holo oxidation; avoid stacking without dividers for Illustration Rares.

Authenticity. Verify set symbol (Ascended Heroes logo), card number 234/217 alignment, holo pattern consistency; fakes often have blurry artwork or incorrect French text if labeled English; use TCGPlayer or graded authentication for high-value copies.
