Summary

Banette is a Ghost-type Pokémon known for its eerie and sinister appearance. It is characterized by its dark, ragdoll-like body, zipper mouth, and malevolent red eyes. Banette is often depicted as originating from a discarded plush doll that was brought to life by a grudge, and it is said to seek revenge on the child that abandoned it.
