Enemy versions[edit]

Ban dance is a very rare ability for monsters to have, with only two appearing in mainline games thus far. As such, this means that dances are some of the safest non-magical abilities to rely on as the performance cannot be shut down for several turns on end as Fizzle does for spells.

In VI, only the Jugular joker will ever cast Ban Dance. In either version of VII no enemy learns ban dance at all. The Hell hopper is the only enemy to cast the spell in VIII, and this makes it particularly annoying in the 3DS version as all but one of Red's fan skills are considered dances in the game's programming.
