ShuppetPlatinum #92 Pokémon Card

Shuppet, the Puppet Pokémon, is a Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It evolves into Banette starting at Level 37. Shuppet is known for its eerie yet intriguing behavior, often found in urban environments, particularly under the eaves of houses where vengeful people live. Its Pokédex entries consistently describe its diet as negative emotions, particularly resentment and envy, which it absorbs through its horn. This unique dietary habit highlights its role as a creature deeply connected to human feelings, especially those of ill will. In the games, Shuppet often appears in haunted locations or areas with a somber atmosphere, reinforcing its spectral nature. Its evolution, Banette, is even more directly tied to a discarded doll animated by intense grudges. In the anime, Shuppet has been featured in episodes exploring its mischievous side and its ability to drain energy, further cementing its ghostly reputation. Its design, resembling a simple puppet or doll, contributes to its slightly unsettling yet endearing appearance among fans.
