Banette (Japanese: ジュペッタ Juppeta) is a Ghost-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Shuppet starting at level 37. It can Mega Evolve into Mega Banette using the Banettite.

Biology

Banette is a dark gray, doll-like Pokémon that is possessed by pure hatred. It has three short spikes on its head and a long zigzagging ribbon trailing off the back of its head. A zipper acts as its mouth, and it has purplish-pink eyes with slit pupils. Its long, flat arms have three-fingered hands, while its legs are short and stubby. It has a yellow, brush-like tail.

As Mega Banette, this Pokémon gains several additional zippers: one running diagonally across its face, one on each hand and another on its body. The first zipper runs from its left eye to the tip of its central spike. The other three are all unzipped, revealing parts of Mega Banette's purple body. Its three long purple fingers and body revealing two pointed, purple legs are visible. Its zigzagging ribbon becomes somewhat erect, and now has two zipper rings around it and a short zipper on the tip. It gains four further spikes: one on the top and bottom of each hand and one on each hip. However, it loses its brush-like tail.

Being driven to life by a powerful grudge, it keeps its life force safely in its body by the means of its zipped up mouth. If unzipped, it would lose its energy. It lays curses on others by using its body as a voodoo doll and sticking pins into itself. It lives in garbage dumps and dark alleys, where it searches for the person that threw it away before it became a Pokémon.

One of Sird's main Pokémon is a Banette, which she used in her battle with Silver to take him into custody on Giovanni's behalf. Against its short fight against the latter's Red Gyarados, it proved to be a force to be reckoned with as it easily overpowered its opponent.

Trivia

  • Mega Banette has the highest Attack base stat of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
  • Mega Banette is the lightest Mega Evolution at 13.0 kg (28.7 lbs.)
  • Banette can be seen as a parallel to Dusclops. Both are Generation III Ghost-type Pokémon that evolve from their pre-evolutions at level 37. Both have the same base stat total. Wild Banette are exclusive to Sapphire, while wild Dusclops are exclusive to Ruby.
    • However, with the introduction of Dusknoir in Generation IV and Mega Banette in Generation VI, the similarities between the two evolutionary lines have become less notable, as Dusknoir cannot Mega Evolve and Banette cannot evolve.
  • Despite Banette's zipper needing to stay closed in order to conserve energy, Banette's Pokémon-Amie animation shows it unzipping and opening its mouth in order to smile or eat.

Origin

Bulbanews
Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:

Its appearance and habit of sticking itself with pins is akin to the popular conception of voodoo dolls. Its Pokédex backstory of an ordinary doll coming to life is similar to the Tsukumogami, while the grudge it holds against its disowner is related to the idea of mottainai.

Name origin

Banette is a combination of bane and marionette.

Juppeta may be a combination of 呪縛 jubaku (curse or spell) and puppet. It may also refer to Geppetto, a woodcarver who built a puppet that came to life in the story of Pinocchio.
