Strategy & play
How Banette ex plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Poltergeist) 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 ≥125 effectively one-shots it.
- A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
- A Stage 1 — one step up from Shuppet; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.
- Currently Standard-legal — usable in the main rotating format.
How to beat Banette ex
- Exploit its Darkness weakness — ≥125 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.

How can I tell if my Banette ex is real?
Banette ex is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set.
