I assume this is competitive.

Banette @Leftovers
Jolly/Adamant Nature
EVs: 120 HP / 252 Atk / 136 Spd
Shadow Ball
Will-o-wisp
Knock Off
Hidden Power Fighting/Thunderbolt

 

[shadowblade]

Not to fond of
Will-o-wisp since its not very good imo and this is a competative ms

I need more help,

 

[ZNtelle]

Um? If you understood Competitive at all, Will-O-Wisp means a lot in that it slows down the physical side of whatever opponent you are facing.

Post starters comment on WoW makes this in-game.
imo

sigh.



Banette (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Insomnia
EVs: 152 HP / 216 Atk / 140 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Shadow Ball
- Body Slam / Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Will-O-Wisp
- Knock Off

for Use in UU play, Body Slam might be of some use.
Paralyze things on the switch.
HP fight is pretty useless, seeing as you can WoW Aggron / anything that resists Shadow Ball.
Use it if you waqnt though.

And then get walled by them? Body Slam is pretty useless.

 

[magnemiteZ]

you'll be forced out by anything not called aggron with HP fight.
And they will hate being WoW'd.

 

[Tazzler]

Banette gets forced out my most things with fast offense; Body Slam isn't going to make a difference. Body Slam is almost useless; if you want Paralyzation use Thunder Wave over WoW.

Here's a good Banette moveset:

Banette@Leftovers
Ability:Insomnia
Nature:Adament(+Atk -Sp.Atk)
~Shadow Ball
~Hidden Power Fighting
~Knock Off
~Will-o-Wisp

 

[Tazzler]

That is exactly what F_M posted. ._____.

 

[magnemiteZ]

Still standing by the point that HP Fight is not much better.

 

[Tazzler]

If you want a secondary attack, go with Hidden Power [Fighting].

Besides the random Paralysis, what does Body Slam do?

 

[magnemiteZ]

nout all.

What does HP Fight help do bar dent the odd Normal Switch in, and put tiny dents in Golem, and 2HKO Aggron?

 

[Tazzler]

It provides type coverage that Body Slam doesn't provide.
