This marks the day me and the rest of Banette Bros step out. We have secretly been a group of followers, trying to make Mega Banette the ruler of this puny “metagame” known as NDOU. We have been working in the Smogon backchannels, using our MOB connections to garner support, funds, and to hire workers to join the cause of supporting this wonderful cause.
A) Banette and Cheese
1) Origins of Banette
But first... we must delve into the history of what has largely defined it this generation. King Banette A.K.A Destiny Bonder A.K.A. The Most Hated Mon Ever.
In fact, this story... this is what inspired the hit movie "Oppenheimer". The plot was directly stolen from this story, as the director of the movie clearly queued up some National Dex games, found this team, and became greatly enraged. In that state of anger, he stole the plot, making the movie that was a box office hit.
Twas a dark stormy night. As about15guys returns from his trip to Canada, sick to his stomach, he hears a lightbulb ding in his head. He hurriedly pulls out his laptop and quickly builds THE team. The team that kickstarted this entire journey. The team that made these "plebians" learn of the King himself. As he clenches in stomach, sleep deprived and sick, he finishes up his creation. Similar to Oppenheimer once he created the team, he was satisfied, stomach pain gone, fully energized, knowing that he would cause many on the National Dex Ladder the same gut-wrenching pain he suffered on this trip.
As about15guys carried on with his life, PokeaimMD, found the creation. He brushed the dust off of it, eyes gleaming. He knew what he would do with this monster. As he created a video, unaware of the repercussions this would have. As about15guys opened his laptop, opened Youtube, he saw it. He saw what PokeaimMD had done. He knew... NDOU was now doomed. NDOU was doomed to die with this parasite tagging along with it. He watched in horror as Mega-Banette rose to OU, stayed there, and continued to be one of the most used Pokemon. Similar to Oppenheimer, he saw his creation cause mass destruction, and regretted everything. As he helplessly told the people in the NDOU room that his Infestation Mega-Banette was bad, he realized, nothing could be done anymore. Now, about15guys is forever plagued with the guilt of causing the doom of National Dex OU. Fully accepting his role as the “villain” in the eyes of everybody in National Dex OU, he created Banette Interprises, a company that was a front. This group aimed to bring Banette to world domination.
2) The Beginning of Cheese
This is where I, amstan, Cheese Consortium CEO, come in. When I was born, I was unable to speak, born without clothes, and almost 2 feet tall. I was a loser. However, once I was able to speak, my first and second words were “Dad” and “Mom” because I am not a fucking weirdo. However, you know what my 17th word was? “Cheese”. Was this because I was fat when I was little? No. That is irrelevant. I was born to play “Cheese” in NDOU. My existence was made in order to bring cheese to domination. I began such ventures. The Cheese Consortium became a known name. My stocks were rising. However, Big Zuckerberg was jealous of my success. He crashed my stock prices. I was in the mud. I swore I would make Big Zuck pay for his misdeeds against me, but what was I to do? I was in rags, on the street, barely being able to support myself.
3) The Merge
Banette Interprises... well, their stocks tanked. They went from top of the world with me to shambles. Worse than penny stocks. However, on one fateful day, we met in a McDonalds in the City “NDFL”. Brutal Buzzards Street. I was ordering a Bacon McDouble and he was ordering a salad. As I saw him, I knew it was him. Banette Interprises CEO about15guys. I walked up to him, proposing a deal. We merge. Our forces alone were not able to defeat Big Zuck and the Smogonate. However, with the Cheese Consortium and Banette Interprises, we could beat them. We would win. We merged, and created, Banette Bros. I agreed to work in the shadows, and let Banette take all the credit, which was deserved considering the debt I was in, was worth it. Our first order of business was incorporating Banette into the Cheese Consortium. After days of hard work, we created something that would make a
legacy.
4) Banette and Cheese Now
In the headquarters of Banette Bros, after creating a perfect masterpiece, we noticed our stocks were not truly rising yet. Banette was not dominating this metagame yet. It was there we started to innovate. Gone were the days of Jirachi. Now were the days of Acupressure. In the coming month, we masterly expanded into
Acupressure. In fact, we even delved into the subcategory of just
Pressure. These 2 things combined with
external help from Non Banette-Bro @hidinflames, Banette was able to establish footing in the tier, signaling the start of much more. In fact, Banette made waves this tour. Banette was so feared, they had to call in AGENT OBSTAGOON.
Agent Obstagoon was made specially to counter Banette.
2) Kraft Mac and Cheese Building Guide
This part is not too much of a shitpost. I will not be covering like tr and stuff because that's lame and boring and one dimensional
Step 1) Add a Mega-Banette
Mega Banette is practically required. It is able to deter sweepers, guarantee a one for one trade, which is 99% of the time better for you. If you are able to cripple or remove a key target, you are able to win with your cheese wincons which will be discussed later. Mega Banette is the perfect mon. It can break, provides great utility, and clears the way for your glorious cheese mons.
Step 2) Decide wincons and where you want to go.
Some good wincons are mons that can, with enough luck or a good enough mu, hax/be stupid enough to win a mu with a small amount of support. Some examples include Togekiss + Jirachi, Suicune, Acupressure, Revival Blessing Banette or any other strategy that greatly relies on RNG and/or matchup luck.
Step 3) Support
1)Toxic Stalling/Spamming Residual Damage
Some good examples are Salazzle and Glimmora. Salazzle can easily Toxic at least one mon and scare off annoying Ferrothorn with Taunt. Glimmora can be used as a replacement for Salazzle or simply to easily set Toxic Spikes while racking good passive damage with Spiky Shield and Rocky Helmet. Some other options include Alomomola, who can provide good healing support for any other supports you may have. Gliscor is able to stack up various hazards, absorb knock offs and any other attacks, and crucially, provides a ground type. Tapu Koko generally is a giant threat towards these teams as they lack a good Electric resist/immunity. Last but not the least, Ferrothorn is also a great option. It can spread great passive damage with Leech Seed, Toxic, can Knock Off crucial items, lays hazards, and spreads amazing passive damage.
2)PP Stalling/ Locking
Not sure how to put the second one, but a great example of it is Scarf Cresselia. Cresselia is an amazing option as it provides a Psychic resist for another Big Threat in Tapu Lele. Scarf Cresselia also provides crucial speed control, being able to outspeed slower targets and either trick it’s scarf to make it easier to deal with, or Neutralize with thunder wave. Ice beam should be the used attack on this set as you can catch some lando and dnite off guard. Suicune fits great for the PP stalling role however, as it can PP stall many mons and set up the win conditions. Corviknight is a decent option as well, naturally being able to check Tapu Lele, able to farm Gliscor, and a very deadly wincon on its own. Kyurem can be used, but the Dragon Dance set is much better late game as a deadly wincon when all moves are low on pp, or the Pokemon that can hit it's supereffectively are gone.
This guide is obviously very incomplete, as there are many types of cheese and rng based strategies, but these are the few I believe to be at least somewhat usable and probably the most fun.
APRIL FOOLS!
