How to Get Bannette in Pearl

Bannette, the Marionette Pokémon, is a humanoid Ghost-type Pokemon with the "Insomnia" and "Frisk" abilities. The previous evolution of this Pokemon is Shuppet, a Pokemon that resembles a cloth-covered gray ball. Bannette is an excellent lead Pokemon for a Trick Room team, since it has a high attack stat. In "Pokemon Pearl," you can capture Bannette at Stark Mountain or on Routes 225, 226 and 227. You can only catch Bannette at night.

Instructions

- 1
  Train a Pokemon up to Level 45. In "Pokemon Pearl," every Bannette you find in the wild will be Level 50 to Level 54. If you don't have a strong Pokemon, the Bannette will defeat you before you get a chance to capture it. Teach the Pokemon Dark- or Ghost-type moves so you'll have an easier time catching Bannette.
- 2
  Fly to Solaceon Town, Snowpoint City or Pastoria City. Go to the Poke Mart and purchase 25 Dusk Balls, which will cost you 25,000 Poke Dollars. Dusk Balls have a capture rate of 3.5 at night, which is massive compared to other Pokeballs.
- 3
  Wait until it is between 8:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. in the game. This is nighttime in "Pokemon Pearl." Since Bannette is a Ghost-type Pokemon, you can only capture it at night.
- 4
  Head to Stark Mountain, Route 225, Route 226 or Route 227. Look for Bannette in the long grass. You have a 20 percent chance of encountering Bannette on Route 225 and Route 226. You only have a 10 percent chance of finding Bannette in Stark Mountain or on Route 227.
- 5
  Weaken the Bannette to make it easier to catch. Dark- and Ghost-type moves will weaken the Bannette the fastest. Once the Bannette's hit points are low, go to your Bag. Choose a Dusk Ball to try and capture it. You may have to use a couple of Dusk Balls before you catch Bannette.
