Its Ability

Temper TantrumPiquer une colère

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.Une seule fois lors de votre tour (avant votre attaque), vous pouvez défausser de votre main autant de cartes que vous voulez. Vous pouvez alors placer autant de marqueurs de dégât sur Branette. Ce pouvoir ne peut pas être utilisé si Branette est affecté par un État Spécial.

Its attacks

Darkness SwitchÉchange obscurité

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.)Défaussez une carte Énergie attachée à Branette puis échangez tous les marqueurs de dégât se trouvant sur Branette avec ceux du Pokémon Défenseur. (Si un effet de cette attaque est contré, cette attaque est sans effet.)

LonelinessSolitude

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.Vous pouvez montrer votre main à votre adversaire. Si vous ne possédez pas de Pokémon, cette attaque inflige alors 30 dégâts plus 30 dégâts supplémentaires.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.

  2. A strength

    It has an Ability, Temper Tantrum. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,463 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Darkness +20. Against a Darkness Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,463 tournament lists we have read, 2,104 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.
