The only problem would be getting killed before you get to set up whatever it is you wanted

The only time I'd ever see prankster being worth traded away by skill swap is if the opponent had like huge power or something.

Pure Ghost.

>>14474611
Competes with Sableye for Ghost type Prankster (similar movepool), while taking up a Mega slot.

Not bad, but will need stats to make better assessments and movepool for an accurate understanding of its capabilities.

My fear is that it buffed its Special Attack and Attack, while not touching its Speed or bulk, both of which contribute to Banette being soley used as a suicide TR lead.

Megas usually gain 100 bst

I forget Bannettes old stat spread but I'm guessing it will still have poor stats even after mega evo?

Clearly you've never heard of bandnette. ( I know it doesn't work in higher tiers but it's fun)

Fuck yeah.
I caught a shiny Shuppet as a kid. Traded him up to SoulSilver.
I was a child, so his name is BLOOSUS.
I can't fucking wait to see BLOOSUS in mega form.

How can you base a team around Mega Banette?

He is clearly support-oriented.

You cant, you waste your mega slot on a glorified sableye and then proceed to cry whenever a mega furbait appears.

Depends on how stupid they will be, really. You can use crit-boosting itens, but not evasion ones. You can have flinch indulcing itens + multi-hit moves on NU but cannot have shitty dreamworld abilities without instantly going to OU.
Cant they simply ban smeargles with moody + baton pass and/or spore instead of banning the whole ability to ubers? Fuck.

Then they would have to have tiers based on abilities of each and every Pokemon.

Blaze Blaziken would be UU, while Speed Boost is Ubers.
Inner Focus Alakazam would be UU/RU Magic Guard is OU.

You'd have to do this for every single Pokemon and end up with an arbitrarily convoluted ban list for tiers.

This goes doubly for moves/moves+ability combinations. Ex. Speed Boost Blaziken with no STAB moves would be able to be used in RU, etc.

While I do think their policy for simple bans to be contrived at times, it makes logical sense as to why they would choose to follow it.

Sure, you will never be able to reach the 'ideal perfect' metagame where only things that are banworthy are ever banned in any respect per tier, but what they have is close and is one of the better implementations for tiers/bans.

But why make a Mega Banette instead of just a regular 3rd stage evo?

In the best case scenario the stat buff goes straight to defenses, attack and speed or s.atk. In worst case scenario it goes all into s.atk and attack only.
