Banette from ‘Legendary Heartbeat!’ By: Water Pokémon Master Posted 1 week ago to TCG 19 comments A new Banette will appear in Legendary Heartbeat, releasing July 5th in Japan. Thanks goes to Bangiras and Franco T. for the translation! Banette – Psychic – HP90 Stage 1 – Evolves from Shuppet Ability: Devo Curse Once during your turn, when you play this card from your hand to evolve a Pokemon, you may devolve 1 of your opponent’s Benched Evolved Pokemon and put the highest Stage Evolution card on it into your opponent’s hand. [P][C] Spooky Shot: 40 damage. Weakness: Darkness (x2) Resistance: Fighting (-30) Retreat: 1 Additionally, it’s been confirmed Legendary Heartbeat will contain one holo card per seven-card booster pack.
Scoop up net + a Vmax metagame most things are doing an average of 240 damage. This can be terrifying (pun intended)
This and UNB Malamar. Boss's Orders a VMAX back. Devo Curse it to hand, use Hypnotic Reign to discard it AND use a big beefy attack for D
TEU Persian can work so well with this lol. Use Devo Curse, then skadoodle it to the discard and it's GONE. foreal though, you could play something like Zacian/Banette as it would mostly yeet every VMAX deck. Only 2 over 3 prizes taken, but it's so much easier to do too.
Clunky, it only works on benched pokemon and it needs the opponent to be using a V-max deck. Could be a niche tech but I see people overhyping it.
Banette - this dude sneakily KOs Vs for 2 prizes. Only works if you devolve a VMAX. The prob are, 1.) It works on the bench 2.) VMAX decks might probably run Mallow & Lana to heal, so you can't KO, you can use like Mimikyu to stop healing. 3.) One-time deal, okay solvable via Scoop Up Net. 3-4 VMAX decks might run Mallow & Lana. But if you refer to like Rillaboom, who are Stage 2s, this is the counter to Rare Candy.
You could play something like the new Ampharos V or Morpeko Vmax to hit the active and spread then use something like Phione to force an active switch. The Phione gets the active Pokemon out more efficiently than wasting a boss on it.
7 card packs? Is this not one of the main sets? (Darkness Ablaze isn't either, so it seems weird to have two this close)
Wasn't Shining Legends 2017, Dragon Majesty 2018, and Hidden Fates 2019? They seem pretty well spaced out, unless I'm forgetting something
Ah, now I get it. You're getting Japan and International mixed up. Legendary Heartbeats is a Japanese set. Darkness Ablaze is the next international main set. In 2018 and 2019, Japan had sets releasing every month of the year, following a pattern of main-side-side. For 2020, with the exception of this special set as an extra one, Japan is getting a side-set between main-set releases.
Thanks for clarifying! In that case, are the Amazing Rares still being released internationally? I'm looking forward to using that Jirachi.
Legendary Heartbeats will probably be turned into the mini-set/side-set for the year around September.
