Banette-Mega is listed as a Ghost type in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Banette-Mega fits in a VGC team.
The most common build highlights Prankster, Banettite and Adamant 32/32/2/0/0/0. Its frequent moves include Poltergeist, Destiny Bond, Sucker Punch, Encore, Curse, and Shadow Sneak. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.
Defensively, Banette-Mega has important weaknesses to dark 2x, ghost 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as manectric, samurott-hisui, meowscarada, volcarona, and snorlax appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
