>>19068183>With max HP he can bulk 1 or 2 non-se hits, and even SE from some weaker Pokemon.Not from anything relevant.
>That's why you don't use it as a prankster user. You use it as a wallbreaker/revenge killer that can fix a mistake later in the, or just plain guarantee 2 KOs.Then it's even further outclassed in that regard. Bisharp, Infernape, Conkeldurr, Kyurem-B and Charizard are better wallbreakers.
A wallbreaker needs to have either wildly high offensive presence mixed with something to shut down walls (like Taunt), or good mixed potential. Bannette has priority Taunt, which is nice, but while 165 base Atk isn't bad at all, with no item boost, way of boosting it's stats, or strong STAB attacks, it's effectively weaker than the likes of Bisharp. Also, it has no form of good coverage.
>Slow Giga Drain means you take a hit, then heal.It also means you get revenge killed. Something as slow as that won't be getting placement priority with it's attacks, so you won't get meaty Giga Drains off, and therefore wont be getting much back. Also it's weak to hazards and priority. It's massive amount of weaknesses and little resistances give it little oppurtinity to switch in. It loses health and gains little back.
The reason it works on Venusaur is because Venusaur has an awesome defensive typing, awesome defensive ability, and access to Synthesis. Giga Drain is used as a passive recovery for it, not it's main form. Also, venusaur's fast for a wall.
>Ice is one of the best offensive types in the game, and one of the major things it is resisted by is water, which grass is SE against.Both Grass and Ice are resisted by Fire and Steel, very common types. It's coverage with Grass is redundant outside of Water and Flying.
>That's when it works best, you have no idea what you're talking about.It absolutely does not. You need to be fast to set subs up before attacks, extending the duration of your health. Being faster is also necessary for forcing switches.
