Hey /vp/ how do I make this coin-purse cutie work?

Destiny Bond and that's about it, been wanting to use Mega Bannette so bad because its design is awesome, but GF dropped the ball hard on the poor fucker, hopefully it'll get new moves next gen to fix its flaws

use it in doubles

Will-o-wisp with prankster is nice, plus a big atk shadow sneak. You can even try to use trick to your benefit with him. Mega Banette is a cute

why not phantom force instead of shadow sneak?

>>28373662
Protect, Disable, Will O Wisp and Shadow Claw
But it really shines in 1v1 format with choice items everywhere

You can't Trick away your megastone.

Shadow sneak has priority, which helps since its speed is garbage, and phantom force means a whole turn preparing for the attack, letting your opponent more than easily switch or protect

banette is best girl

>>28373662
You don't. It's shit.

Shitty Pokemon no one likes except for the hilariously off-model meme porn of the mega

Mega-Banette's got a lot of problems but I guess its main "niche" is priority Destiny Bond, which you can definitely take advantage of to play some mind games with your opponent. Taunt is also good so they won't set up or do something else.

I'm a fan of this as well.

Shadow Claw, WOW, Pain Split, Destiny Bond

Taunt and Sub are also nice

It rips through teams and forces opponent to lose at least 1 mon, pair with hazard stacker to be a spin blocker and killer

M-Banette's toolkit is schizophrenic as fuck. Huge attack stat, but no speed to outspeed anything remotely offensive, bulk to take even strong neutral hits nor even coverage to get past physically defensive walls. It has prankster and tons of status moves, but that doesn't synergize well with the above. Your best bet is surprise factor from combining all those unusual qualities into a specific package. STAB Shadow Sneak does great job revenge killing offensive Psychics and Ghosts. Knock Off, Will-O-Wisp, Toxic and Thunder Wave can all be used to impair switchins it may force. Otherwise Shadow Claw has the strongest raw power if you ever get a chance to attack. Protect + Disable/Torment removes choice attackers from equation and gives you extra opportunities to damage or cripple switchins. Substitute + Pain Split softens walls up and gives it extra longevity on predicted switches. Taunt is risky, but can help it wallbreak. Prankster Destiny Bond is probably the best thing about M-Banette - unless you screw up you'll make 1on1 trade at worst. That's a ton of options, but only four moveslots, so you'll need to experiment a lot and see what benefits the rest of its teammates the most.
