Abilities
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.
Attacks
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.)
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.

Market Prices
Reference prices and active eBay asking prices side by side.
Cardmarket and TCGPlayer are marketplace reference signals. eBay values are median asking prices from active listings, so they help compare the market but are not sold-price confirmations.

What these prices mean

Low is the cheapest currently available listing, so it can be much lower than recent sales.
