Best Banette Builds in Pokemon Champions

Banette has two main builds in Pokemon Champions. The Prankster Mega support build is the strongest utility option, while the physical attacker gives Banette more direct damage.

Build 1: Mega Banette Prankster Support

This is the main Banette build. It uses Mega Evolution to gain Prankster and disrupt teams with priority support moves.

Build 2: Physical Ghost Attacker

This version focuses more on attacking. It works best when Banette does not need to use the Mega slot.

Banette Stats

Banette stats are shown below for easy comparison.

Best Items for Banette

Banettite is the best item for the main build because Mega Banette gains Prankster and stronger support value.

Focus Sash is the safest non-Mega item because Banette can be removed quickly by strong attacks.

Best Pokemon to Pair with Banette

Banette works best with Pokemon that cover its weaknesses, support its preferred speed control or help it find safer turns.

What Banette Is Good Against

Banette is strong against Psychic and Ghost-type Pokemon. Prankster support gives Mega Banette strong disruption value.

Will-O-Wisp helps Banette weaken physical attackers and create safer turns for teammates.

Potential Counters for Banette

Banette is threatened by Ghost and Dark-type attacks. It can also struggle if opponents block or ignore its disruption.
