ShuppetDragon #43 Pokémon Card

Shuppet, the Puppet Pokémon, is a Ghost-type introduced in Generation III as part of the Hoenn region. It evolves into Banette starting at level 37. Shuppet is known for its peculiar behavior of feeding on negative emotions like resentment and envy, often found lurking in urban areas where such feelings might be more prevalent. Its Pokédex entries describe it as being drawn to feelings of jealousy and spite, which it then consumes to grow stronger. In the anime, Shuppet often appear in spooky or abandoned settings, sometimes causing mischief but generally not malevolent. In the games, it's a common encounter in places like Mt. Pyre and the Abandonded Ship. Its design, resembling a puppet or a doll, contributes to its eerie yet somewhat endearing appeal. As a Ghost-type, Shuppet is typically weak to other Ghost and Dark-type attacks, while being resistant to Fighting and Bug types, and completely immune to Normal and Fighting type moves in the main series games. Its evolution, Banette, is particularly notable for its Mega Evolution, further solidifying its presence in the Pokémon universe.
