Banette

by Alex Blorgus Blenkins

Banette packs in a sleep immunity and a Extreme Speed immunity in one. The moveset is meant to support its teammates while also being an asnwer to unboosted Slaking as it can use Explosion to deal significant damage to it. Moreover, it can take advantage of its sleep immunity and capability to take even Adamant Shadow from Slaking or Surf from Kyogre to freely use Aromatherapy and enable its asleep teammates. Baton Pass is another great tool for Banette to use if one wishes to support their own Slaking sweep. The Quick Claw set, on the other hand, should be used if and only if Banette is going to be the lead of a team, as it disables any attempts from the enemy at using Baton Pass.
