Can someone give me an idea or a reason to run this guy over mega sableye or gengar? His art style REALLY appeals to me but I feel like sableye being a trickster that goes into a magic bouncer with bulk is much better.

If I'm wrong feel free to let me know why, I'd love a reason to run this guy

I figured priority cotton guard might be kinda cool too, but sableye sets up for so much shenanigans with mean look > nasty plot traps

It's big gimmick is priority Destiny Bond
It would be much better if Prankster activated on the turn it mega'd but it doesn't, meaning you need a safe turn to evolve it or give up a move slot for Protect.

It's easy, if you are not running Trick Room support either opt with Protect or Shadow Sneak/Sucker Punch. He should run WoW/Thunder Wave for priority but Destiny Bond is also really good.

Like I said in the other thread it was mentioned in, it would have benefited from the extra 40 points in speed rather than defenses and Sp.Attack. 115 Speed would have put it in a much nicer position than the whopping +10 to its awful bulk and +20 to an offensive stat that isn't the ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY base physical attack it gained.

So far I'm looking at toying with the move pool of destiny bond / will o wisp / protect / knock off / shadow sneak / shadow claw

Kinda hard to choose on my last set, I'm leaning towards either knock off to remove annoying items or shadow sneak for maximum priority

Sash banette is strictly better for trick room support though.

Knock Off can be nice to hit Pokemon coming in on the switch when you scare something out with the threat of Destiny Bond.
Shadow Sneak is handy for picking off weak Pokemon.
It's really up to what you want it to do.

mega banette is reaaaally versatile, the vast movepool it has allows for the usage of a lot of strategies, most of them taking advantage of priority destiny bond and wow, but a lot of notable moves are thunder wave, sucker punch, phantom force, shadow claw, shadow sneak, gunk shot, disable... There are all kinds of EV spreads possible, and I've even seen sets in which not all EV's are trained

All in all, banette is definitely useful and has quite a niche, but of course it doesn't have the destructive potential of other megas, so it is relegated to lower tiers, which isn't necessarily something bad
