Strategy & play
How Banette plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Spooky Shot) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
- Needs Psychic Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Psychic type, weak to Darkness ×2 — a Darkness attacker doing ≥45 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- A Stage 1 — one step up from Shuppet; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.
- Seen in 1% of recent tournament decks that can run it, usually 4 copies.
How to beat Banette
- Exploit its Darkness weakness — ≥45 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Banette is real?
Banette is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
