Where to Find Banette:
* Route 227: Banette is most commonly found in this area, specifically around the tall grass and near the abandoned building.
* Grand Underground: You can encounter Banette in the Grand Underground as well, but it's rarer than in Route 227.
Tips for Catching Banette:
1. Level: It's important to be adequately leveled for the encounter. Banette is around level 35-40, so aim to have a team at least around that level.
2. Status Conditions: Weakening Banette with status conditions like Sleep or Paralyze makes it easier to catch.
3. Poke Balls: Ultra Balls are generally the best option for catching, but Dusk Balls are effective at night and Timer Balls are helpful if the battle drags on.
4. Catch Rate: Banette has a low catch rate, meaning you'll need to be patient and use multiple Poke Balls.
5. Save Beforehand: Always save your game before attempting to catch a rare Pokemon, so you can reload if you fail.
6. Use False Swipe: This move will reduce Banette's HP to 1 without knocking it out.
7. Throw a Poke Ball: After using False Swipe, throw your chosen Poke Ball. The lower Banette's HP, the higher your chances of catching it.
Note: If you're having trouble catching Banette, try using a combination of the above tips. It may take several attempts, but don't give up!
Remember: You can also use the Poketch app to see if Banette is common in the area you're exploring. Good luck catching Banette!
