# Banette (Japanese) #027 — XY6: Emerald Break

## Summary

Banette has long been a favourite among players who like their Ghost-types a little sinister, a doll that hides a grudge inside its stitched grin. This Japanese Uncommon from Emerald Break, released in Japan in March 2015, sets it against a toy-shop scene of colourful figures and a red toy truck, with the Pokémon grinning in front of a brick wall. As a mid-tier pull, it sits comfortably between bulk and chase. The modelled guide sits at $2.10, down 5% over 30 days on 2 copies traded, with only 30 days of inventory on the board; no PSA population is on file.
