Banette (Japanese: ジュペッタ, Hepburn: Jupetta) (bane-NETT) is a Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

Biology

Physiology

Banette is a possessed doll. Its body is a dark gray color. Its mouth has the appearance of a yellow zipper and it has a yellow star shaped tail. On the back of its head there is a "zigzag line", but no one knows what it is or what it might use it for. Mega Banette has purple sharp claws with black skin.

Behavior

Banette are found in dark alleys, often near dumpsters or piles of trash. They are said to be abandoned plush dolls possessed by cursed spirits. The zippers on their mouths are the only things containing the spirits; opening them would release the entities, so their mouths are always zipped closed. As Banette always feel vengeance and jealousy, they enjoy playing cruel pranks to generate these emotions in unsuspecting Pokémon and people.

Popular legend says that once Banette are brought to life, their sole goal is to hunt down and exact vengeance on the children that had abandoned ​them. Their entire beings are powered by vengefulness. Banette are in fact fond of placing curses on their enemies; by sticking pins into their own bodies, they can use Curse to turn their pain into their foes’ suffering. Many believe that once Banette succeed in taking revenge on their old owners, they will unzip their mouths to allow the entities within to escape to the spirit world and their bodies to revert back into toys, their worldly business now taken care of. Other say that properly caring for a Banette will satisfy the spirit within and cause it to let go of its grudge; the result is the same, with its body reverting back into a harmless doll.

Evolution

Banette is the evolved form of Shuppet, which evolves starting at level 37.

Trivia

• Despite its Pokédex entries stating that can't open its mouth since its energy would escape, many Banette have been seen with their mouths open in the anime and their fainting sprites have also shown them with their mouths open and they can learn Screech, Sleep Talk, Round and Astonish, all of which, involve opening its mouth. Its Pokémon-Amie animation also shows it unzipping and opening its mouth in order to eat.
• Banette played a small part in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers Of Sky's Special Episode "Igglybuff The Prodigy." He went exploring, along with Skorupi and Igglybuff, through the first dungeon.

Origin

At a glance, Banette simply appears to be based on a possessed doll. However, the fact that it generates energy for curses by sticking pins into its body signifies that it's also based on voodoo dolls.

Etymology

Banette comes from bane and marionette.

Banette's Japanese name, Jupetta, may derive from Geppetto, a fictional character who is most famous for creating and raising Pinocchio, jubaku (a curse or evil spell), and puppet.
