Banette is a Ghost-type Pokémon known as the Marionette Pokémon. According to Pokémon lore, Banette is a plush doll that was thrown away and came to life due to its grudge over being disowned. It persistently seeks the child who abandoned it, driven by the emotional energy of rejection. However, Banette's nature is not entirely malevolent—treating it nicely can satisfy its resentment, causing it to revert back into an ordinary plush toy. Banette can Mega Evolve using the Banettite, which unlocks its restrained powers by opening its zippers and unleashing suppressed, baleful energy. As a physical attacker with high Attack stats, Banette is a formidable Ghost-type combatant in battle, resistant to Bug, Poison, Fighting, and Normal-type moves.
