Why exactly would Mega Banette fare better with a Fighting-type? I'd like to see a sample of your reasoning, either for Banette or another Mega of your choosing.

this was discussed in the theorymon (OU) convo, which is why i bring it up here. it's basically perfect coverage with calm mind / shadow ball / hp fighting / wisp and it gives it some cool resistances like to terrakion and such. removes a knock off weakness as well, which makes it do things like take the same damage from sucker punch as iron head from a bisharp. it has nice utility with it.

for an example, i'll work on that.
