Banette is a Tier 3 Raid Boss in Pokémon Go. It is a doll that is possessed and is dark gray. The mouth of this Pokémon looks like a yellow zipper and has a tail that looks like a yellow star. Banette won’t be troubling you much if you are using the best counters against it which I’ll recommend to you. So in this Pokémon Go guide, we are going to talk about the best ways and counters using which you’ll be able to win against Banette easily.
Banette in Pokémon Go
Banette is a pure Ghost-type Pokémon that has a maximum CP of 2599 at level 50. It is weak towards only Ghost and Dark-type attacks. If you have the best set of counters with you, you can opt to fight against Banette all by yourself and win quite easily if you are experienced. But if you don’t have the right counters or are a low-level player with no experience, I’ll recommend you to go into the battle along with a friend or two.
