So Banette was an interesting race to make, especially since I believe it's the first construct I've made. Shadow Ball was a last minute addition to try to get the meter above 4, and I feel like it fits given how most art of Banette shows it using either Will-o-the-Wisp or Shadow Ball. --MetalShadowOverlord (talk) 22:59, 4 April 2019 (MDT)

Note: Banette should also have the aberration link as you've said it is both construct and aberration. --Flamestarter (talk) 07:47, 3 February 2020 (MST)
