Posted May 15, 201411 yr So I want to raise a Banette and be able to Mega Evolve it. Problem is that I don't know what a good moveset for Banette would be and I don't know what nature it should be. I need help coming up with a good moveset and nature.
May 15, 201411 yr Make use of Mega Banette's high Attack and Prankster ability, so maybe something like Will-O-Wisp / Taunt / Sucker Punch with EVs invested into the defensive stats so it can at least try to survive a little longer from physical attacks? If you could get one with Pain Split since that's the only recovery option it has, that'd be a cool thing to use too.
May 15, 201411 yr Gunk Shot's a good physical attack, but Mega Banette's Prankster sets it up to be a wall. I'd use Toxic, Will-o-Wisp, Snatch, and Sucker Punch. Prankster gives your status moves priority, so you'll get to poison or burn an important Pokemon on your opponents team before it can take out Banette. I'd give 252 EVs to its Def. and Sp.Def. and 4 to its Atk. I believe the nature I'm thinking of is Careful (+Sp.Def., -Sp.Atk.)
May 15, 201411 yr Author Okay, another question is, if I were just to raise a normal Banette, what moves and nature and ability should it have then?
May 15, 201411 yr Okay, another question is, if I were just to raise a normal Banette, what moves and nature and ability should it have then? As for ability, I'd prefer Cursed Body as it depletes the the PP of any Physical Attack that hits Banette. Moves, I wouldn't know so well. I've never ran Banette outside of its Mega, and even then I haven't taken the time to fully set it up like the way I suggested.
