I battle lord nightshade about 20 times today with a friend and he got the banshee over and over again but all i got was stuff i can't use! Is there a trick to getting it, or do i just have bad luck?

Pet drops are perhaps the rarest drops in the entire game. Maybe once in a blue moon can you get a pet from an opponent, and that's if you have average luck. Super lucky people can get the same pet from the same creature again and again, but unlucky people will probably never get that pet.

It's all about luck. I had to farm Prince Alicane for hours until he dropped the Sprite I was looking for (I'm trying to hatch a Helephant with more Agility).

Keep trying and you may get it eventually, but if you don't, oh well, I guess.

Some people say that if you aren't first in the battle circle that you have a higher chance of getting better drops. It might be just a rumor though.

You've just got bad luck. Drops are not influenced by anything other than the number of monsters in the fight that drop that particular item.

Well, there is ONE trick. It gives you a high chance, battling lord nightshade gives off rare stuff, (SORTA) Always go in second. You can get a banshee. There's also another pet. Midnight Sprite, gives you the card Dark Fairy. And battle Rattlebones for a Myth Pixie. Here's a list of some other pets!

Krokopatra: Life Troll

Level 48 Balance Quest:Hydra

Etc.

Level 48 pets and cards:

Hydra and Power Nova for balance

Wraith and Scarecrow for death

Orthrus and Orthrus for myth (lol)

Satyr and Rebirth for Life

Collosus and Frost Giant for Ice

Stormzilla and Storm Lord for storm (Such a shocker!!)

Helephant and Fire Dragon for Fire

Good luck!!!

It takes sheer endurance. It took me an entire day to obtain the Mander pet from Kiwu in this fashion, and the battles were quick and no quests in between, just like Lord Nightshade.

But if you truly love the pet it will be worth it in the end! Keep trying!...Or just try to hatch with someone's Banshee instead :P

I have the banshee but it's ice. Name is Saffron Ghostheart. I can hatch with you if you'd like.

probably bad luck
If you really want a pet farm to test your skill try malistaire and Astreus
Malistaire: drops Storm hound both crown and pet
Astreaus: Sea dragon best pvp or pve pet in game both crown and pet
