Banette is a fictional, puppet-like Ghost-type Pokémon that is available in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. It can be evolved from a Shuppet at level 37. Sapphire players can also catch a high-level wild Banette at the Sky Pillar. It is very scary to meet. It can learn Ghost moves like Spite and Shadow Ball, Psychic moves like Skill Swap, and Electric moves like Thunderbolt. It is also notable for being one of only two Ghost Pokémon in Ruby and Sapphire that stands on the ground instead of floating (the other is Dusclops).
In the game, Phoebe of the Elite Four uses two level 49 female Banette, one with Toxic and one with Psychic. Be careful!
Banette has appeared in the Pokémon TV series in Japan, but has not appeared in the dub. The trainer Harley owned one for use in the Grand Festival.
Name Origin
Banette is a portmanteau of 'banish', referring to its vanishing ability that it shares with other Ghost-types, and 'marionette', meaning a hand-controlled puppet.
