i guess theres no room for battle frontier, but banette doesn't always even have crystal beach in it so i think if there is a lot of togekiss in your metagame and fire truk and garchomp, it's worth the space but mostly just because blastoise is a moderately decent tech against banette

also your list has 2 lunatone and 1 solrock and i've seen people only play 1 lunatone, right now i have 1-1 but having solrock at all is just a question of preference,and the build, not that many things are resistant to psychic and sol charge is situational at best,
 
1 solrock dosent hurt the deck or make a difference. U use it more for a cheap attack against banbliss which helped me setup for at least 2 kos. It helped for me more than 1,2 lunatone is needed if your goin speedy,1 gets prized then discarding sux and have to ghost head.

Pichu thanx 4 the list and I will update the thread for banbliss and bancario.battle frontier is ok tech,not needed really since they won't play toise unless they setup completly which u won't let happen.
 
gino used lunasol in his bancario list and he used a supporter build, probably 2-3 holon mentor 3-4 celio's probably 4 tvr or a steven's in the mix

after testing bancario,it isnt a bad deck at all,not the same as T2 Banette,but its good none the less,magmortar still seems to be a big problem,but magmortar is dying in the play field Im in right now,so I dont know how much it will factor into my games I play.
 
Very nice list and similar to mine in many ways. Perhaps -1 Copycat and +1 TVR. I'd also drop 1 NM for 1 energy, though it could just be me; I always find myself in constant energy droughts here and there.
 
I have tought about adding Porygon 2 instead of claydol to help by letting u play more supporters, and also starting with porygon wouldnt be so bad since u can arrange the cards u draw. Would u consider thisor do you think it is rubbish?
 
Yoou can play porygon,but abusing supporters you won't be needing since you setup rather fast anyway. If your basin your banette around a certain strategy maybe then but other wise,you may just give gg a boost
 
i kept the boundaries and beaches and decided lati-lock will cover blastoise d and garchomp, i can't imagine it helps much vs mag but i use the dual aura latios and the plain red latias that's all i have but i think the latios ex/dual aura latias just gives magmorter 2 easy prizes that banette can't afford to lose
 
your kricketune match-up is wrong.. Its in bannete's favor by a lot.. Tune is inconsistent after there first tune is Ko'd I would say the match up is 65-35 bannetes favor..
 
Thanx Prie_Card updated the matchup. Yea lati lock is not a bad tech,but Latios becomes a target honestly,epsecially if you get a slow start and dont at least power up Latios to start attackin to make him useful. He helps sometimes but just a easy 2 alot.Just play with Latios d HP/Latias d HP thats the only way I see it at least bein semi decent.
 
GJ with the Banbliss and BanCario article.

One kid that played BanCario played Dugtrio in his to improve the Magmortar matchup.
Is that what you mean by techs?
 
I got to play 3 straight bancarios in top cut at houston regionals losing in top 4. I think that lucario makes a big difference in attacking pachy for a quick 50. Shuppets not as good of a starter as riolu in this format against starters; BTW i was playing hurricane. Also crystal beach is so good.
 
Its not a bad deck at all,but T2 Banette could still take it possibly I never tested them against each other but setup wise,T2 seems like it would get rollin faster.
