Biology
It is said that a plush doll that was thrown away grew a grudge and became Banette. Its energy is stored inside its body. If the zipper on its mouth is opened, it leaks out.
Forms
Its vindictiveness has grown tremendously. Mega Evolution energy has caused the cursing power that was previously held within by its zippers to spill out. It cannot help but to curse its own trainer.
