Its attacks

no cost

Ghost Head

Put as many damage counters as you like on Banette. (You can't put more than Banette's remaining HP.) Put that many damage counters on the Defending Pokémon.

Spiteful Pain

40+

If Banette is in your discard pile, this attack does 40 damage plus 40 more damage. Then, search your discard pile for Banette, show it to your opponent, and shuffle it into your deck.

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.

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.
Keep in mind
None of the 9,506 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.
Keep in mind
Weakness Darkness +20. Against a Darkness Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 9,506 tournament lists we have read, 5,818 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
