About this card
Poké-Power: Temper Tantrum
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may discard as many cards as you like from your hand. If you do, put that many damage counters on Banette. This power can't be used if Banette is affected by a Special Condition.
[Psychic]Darkness Switch
Discard an Energy card attached to Banette, and then switch all damage counters on Banette with those on the Defending Pokémon. (If an effect of this attack is prevented, this attack does nothing.)
[Psychic · Colorless]Loneliness — 30+
You may show your hand to your opponent. If you do and if you don't have any Pokémon in your hand, this attack does 30 damage plus 30 more damage.
Weakness: Darkness +20
Resistance: Colorless -20
Retreat cost: Colorless

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.
