Banette 1/100 · Crystal Guardians
Crystal Guardians is a set in the EX series. It was released on August 1, 2006. The printed size is 100, and the checklist is the same length. Banette is 1/100, in position 1 of 100 on this checklist. The next card is 2 Blastoise δ. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.
Banette is a Stage 1 Psychic Pokémon with 70 HP. In the Pokédex this is Banette (#354), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Shuppet. In this catalog that name is Shuppet (#353).
Kyoko Umemoto illustrated this card. The same name is on 174 other cards in the catalog.
Banette (#354) has 23 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 17 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2004 to 2026. The earliest other card is Banette 1/101 in Hidden Legends (2004). Both list 70 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Midori Harada illustrated that card, and Kyoko Umemoto illustrated this one. 21 other cards of Banette list a different HP.
Safeguard is listed as Poké-Body. Prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to Banette by your opponent's Pokémon-ex. The attack Night Murmurs lists 30 damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless. If the Defending Pokémon is a Basic Pokémon, that Pokémon is now Confused. Weakness is Darkness ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30. Retreat cost is 1.
I keep a set binder for Crystal Guardians, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Crystal Guardians set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Banette can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
