What you'll need

Link to official rates
Image for banner art
- Found in game files at: files/contents/1/files/i18n/en/files/ui/lottery/bg
Image for banner selector
- Found in game files at: files/contents/1/files/i18n/en/ui/lottery/lottery_top_cell

Changes to make

Python scraper
- Update getbanner.py with new banner details and run script to create new file in the banners folder
  - Variable values to update in main (i.e. url, banner_name, rate_up) can all be found on the official rates page
JSON files
- Add banner details to encounter-banners.json; banner_short_name is used in CSS, banner_file is name of the rates file in banners folder, banner_image is banner art (not to be confused with banner selector image)
Images
- Besides the raw image files mentioned above, you'll need:
  - a cropped version of the banner art to remove some of the fade to black/white on each side; make sure to shrink on tinypng as it's still very large after cropping
  - create a sprite for the banner selector; see 91003.combo for an example, but it'll just be the .normal version on top and the .highlighted version below
CSS
- Add new a.banner-select.NEWBANNER using the same format as the others; NEWBANNER should be whatever short name you decide to use in encounter-banners.json
HTML
- Update version on CSS and encounter-banners.json to trigger updates for cached files
  - Ex: css/encounter-sim.css?v=wX32u9pSLz changed to css/encounter-sim.css?v=Vt70FaP4Ov
