I've always wanted to run a Baton Team, so I made one up really quick. It's probably pretty bad, but this is the first team I've ever built completely by myself (with the help of Smogon, of course). Any suggestions? I always battle in GenIV OU.
Zapdos @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 248 HP / 140 Def / 88 SAtk / 32 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Baton Pass
- Agility
- Charge Beam
- Substitute
I set up a Substitute and just boost my stats, hitting things weak to Charge Beam whenever possible, but with Calm Mind later, it's not a priority.
Togekiss (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Hustle
EVs: 248 HP / 64 SDef / 196 Spd
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Baton Pass
- Toxic
- Air Slash
- Roost
I use Togekiss as my Toxic Spreader when Walls refuse to go down before I have time to get my Sweeper out.
Smeargle (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Own Tempo
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Ingrain
- Baton Pass
- Spore
- Substitute
Basic BP Smeargle: Spore, Ingrain, Substitute if needed, and Pass.
Vaporeon (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Baton Pass
- Acid Armor
- Ice Beam / Aqua Ring
- Surf / Aqua Ring
I was thinking of BPing Aqua Ring, but I don't know which attack to keep.
Celebi @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Psychic
- Baton Pass
- Earth Power
With Earth Power, I can take out most Fire-Type threats if I used Charge Beam with Zapdos. If not, I usually have a Vaporeon Substitute up long enough to Calm Mind and Pass.
Heatran (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Electric]
- Earth Power
- Flamethrower
- Dragon Pulse
Standard Heatran Special Sweeper; I just use whatever would hit hardest.
