Houndour is a good option to go with for this battle. It is a Dark-type Pokemon with a healthy amount of Resistance to Ghost-type enemies like Banette. However, you will need to level it up and learn Dark ability attacks to be able to dish out as much damage as possible to your enemy. If you do not have the option to choose this Pokemon for the fight, you would need to pick a normal elemental one without weaknesses in the Ghost and Psychic categories.

At the start of the fight, you can launch an attack with the Bite ability and follow it up with another attack that has a shorter cooldown. This will help you fill in with other abilities in the attack while the others reset from the cooldown.
