Lore
Ruby
BANETTE generates energy for laying strong curses by sticking pins into its own body. This Pokémon was originally a pitiful plush doll that was thrown away.
Sapphire
A cursed energy permeated the stuffing of a discarded and forgotten plush doll, giving it new life as BANETTE. The Pokémon’s energy would escape if it were to ever open its mouth.
