A cursed energy permeated the stuffing of a discarded and forgotten plush doll, giving it new life as BANETTE. The POKéMON’s energy would escape if it were to ever open its mouth.

SapphireAlpha Sapphire

An abandoned plush doll became this POKéMON. They are said to live in garbage dumps and wander about in search of the children that threw them away.

Strong feelings of hatred turned a puppet into a POKéMON. If it opens its mouth, its cursed energy escapes.
