      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Recommended moves

      Banette doesn't outperform in PvE, but with a satisfactory Attack and perfect moveset, it can be snuck into your group of Ghost types. 👻

      ⚔️ Raids

      There are several good Ghost types in Pokémon GO, and if you're lacking top contenders, Banette is a fine choice. 🙂

      🛡️ Gyms

      While it has nice offenses, its ability to take damage is subpar. Not your ideal Gym defender. 🫤

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      🔵 Great League

      Extremely concerning bulk is a nail in the coffin for Banette in the Great League, and even though it can grab some 1v1 wins with its excellent moveset, you're going to risk getting more losses overall since this Pokémon is more of a liability. 😶

      🟡 Ultra League

      While Banette can pull off surprising wins (at times) in the Great League, it falls hard in the Ultra League, a battlefield filled with the most Ghost types around. Don't run Banette here when there are so many superior options. 😌

      🟣 Master League

      Most of its foes in the Master League aren't even Ghost types, yet they are scarier than Banette. 🤭
