Pokemon GO Mega Banette Best Moveset
We’ve mastered the best counters for Mega Banette in Pokemon GO and its weakness, now it’s time to dive into the best moveset. Now, this particular Pokemon is a Ghost-type, and in this case, it’s probably best to stick to what it does best. I’d recommend going for either Hex (Ghost) or Shadow Claw (Ghost) as your Quick Attack and Shadow Ball (Ghost) as the Charged Attack. That’s your best bet. Mega Banette has no other Quick Attacks. As for Charged Attacks, it can also have Dazzling Gleam (Fairy) and Thunder (Electric). Oh, and Frustration (Normal, Shadow) and Return (Normal, Purified). I wouldn’t suggest any of those, though.
