Ghost

Banette
The marionette Pokemon

Base Stats:
HP: 64
Attack: 115
Defense: 65
Special Attack: 83
Special Defense: 63
Speed: 65

Abilities:
Insomnia: Prevents Pokemon from falling asleep.
Frisk: Allows you to see opponents help item.
Dream World Ability:
Cursed Body: Has a 30% chance of disabling the opponents used move when attacked.

Banette is the most overlooked ghost Pokemon. Mostly because of its limited move pool, pathetic defenses, and pitiful Speed. Banette is only used for its high base attack of 115 and Trick Room. It is one of the best suicide Trick Room users out there. And Insomnia helps it accomplish that role. If you manage to combine Banette's horrible speed along with insomnia, Trick Room and Destiny Bond you can pull of the best sucide Trick Room user in all the game. Taunt can be used to help pull off Destiny Bond because the user will no longer be able to avoid it with indirect attacks. Shadow Claw can also be used as a basic STAB in case of a emergency.

This combination really makes Banette stand out from other ghost Pokemon and other Trick Room users in general. As none are able to pull of this combination of moves.

ALL RIGHT. It's time for you all to get in on the discussion. Opinions on its usefulness, appearance, etc. GO GO GO. Say anything.

"Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites." -Karen of the Elite Four.

The dark lady has a point though, Banette should not be overlooked for its weaknesses, but sought after for its potential. You catchin my drift?
