If this is good, what can I pair it with?

Also, if it's pairable, does it have league viability?
 
It's lost crush attack is ok-ish, but it's not very realiable. It's breakdown attack is one of those attacks that the opponent can manipulate quite easily, although it can get around Rescue energy and Gengar's Fainting Spell, but in the end Mismagius GL lvX > Banette TM in this case, as Mismagius GL lvX only cares about how many cards are in YOUR hand (though it only maxes out at 8 damage counters) plus it can use the SP engine.

Even for league play this card is quite iffy especailly with its 2 mediorce attacks and low HP even Masquerain SV would be a better league deck than Banette TM.
 
It's not half bad but I definitely wouldn't consider it for a Cities or higher. A fun deck idea could be Spiritomb/Vileplume/Banette.

4 Spiritomb
4-4 Bannette
2-2-2 Vileplume
2 Uxie
1 Unown Q

Lock up their Trainers and unleash the Breakdown doing slowly more each turn (hopefully). A Gengar tech could also fit right in if you choose.

dmaster out.
 
Eh, it's alright with Vileplume. Gengar still is much better for the same purpose, but I suppose it could be an okay league deck.
 
use a seeker and you might be able to throw alot more cards in their hand if they had a benched tank or something
 
Its actually more viable than you think. Here's why:

Cheerleader's Cheer
Mistreavus UD's move

I think its better than MismagiusGLX because there's no cap on how much damage you can do, so there's ways to manipulate that.
 
arrrrgggg i keep getting shuppets and none of these bannettes and i really want one. i thought of the same stratagy seeker then cheerleader cheer. also make it so they are penalized for playing cards from there hand like ampharos prime. this will make them not play as many energies and keep them in there hand.....in theory. also somthing like speed stadium ( i think its legal right?) to have that temptation to draw more cards when they need it would be useful
 
Actually, im pretty sure that Speed Stadium isn't legal anymore. it was Diamond and Pearl base set.
 
Ya i know, none of the legal ones are very appealing to this deck... :(

Maybe Miasma Valley to put 2 damage counters on anything that isn't Grass or Psychic?
(Since most of your basic Pokémon will be Psychic anyway)
