It just wants to give you a hug...
[Pros]
<ul>
<li>Mega Evolution gives Banette a new lease on life</li>
<li>Mega-Banette gains a huge boost to attack and Prankster</li>
<li>Has access to Disable and Destiny Bond, making him annoying as fk</li>
<li>Very good offensive typing</li>
</ul>
[Cons]
<ul>
<li>Terrible everything but Attack</li>
<li>Few good physical moves; movepool consists Normal-type, Dark-type and Ghost-type moves, plus Gunk Shot</li>
<li>Uses up your one Mega slot</li>
</ul>
[Set Recommendations]
<p>Although Banette is highly outclassed without its Mega Evolution, don't forget to take Insomnia as its ability, so you can switch into sleep-inducing moves freely before Mega Evolving.</p>
