Baton Pass
Hmmm. I heard from a few of my friends that having a Baton Pass team is really good. Problem is they won't tell me anything other then that (punks). Now I know what baton pass is, but I'm not to sure how to use it exactly with a team. It keeps my Pokemon's buffs if that's what you want to call them in effect.
Say for example I used sword dance 3x then used baton pass that Pokemon would still have those buffs in for when I bring him in later. Problem is by the time I get 3 sword dances in I'm already past half health. Then when I bring him in, he just takes a hit and dies. Suggestions? Should I wait for the Pokemon I change him with to die then bring him back into play? Also if I do go with a baton pass team, what would be some recommended bpers and what moves? Maybe some sort of order to use them in to give me some idea. Thanks for the help to those that reply. |
In my experience, some of the popular Baton Passers are Ninjask and Umbreon.
|
yea dude ninjask and umbreon, umbreon for the les experinced i think, nijask is good to pass of speed and maybe one or two sword dance, i like umbreon more ill need to work on one
|
Ninjask, uses substitute, gets a speed boost, heals with Leftovers
Uses Swords Dance, gets a speed boost, heals with Leftovers Depending on if hit or not, substitutes again/swords dances again, heals Gets a few Swords Dance and Speed Boosts, baton passes to someone like Umbreon Umbreon uses Curse to get more attack and defense up, and thanks to those speed boosts from Ninjask the speed won't go down too much. Good idea to give Umbreon wish too. You could also pass to a Vaporeon with Acid Armor. Then after all of your Baton Passes you pass once more to someone like Salamence/Tyranitar. Then pwn. |
I alternated between Substitute and Protect with Ninjask for six turns, then Baton Passed to a slow, high-powered sweeper for 600% speed. Not even another Ninjask could outrun that. :D
|
Hmmm so baton pass passes the effects from one Pokemon to the next one used? Or am I wrong? Also thanks guys.
|
It passes the effects of any buff moves or abilities like Agility, Swords Dance, or Ninjask's Speed Boost, etc.

So it would be more like Ninjask base speed stat - 400 [Random number] Ninjask after 1 speed boost - 600 Ninjask after 2 speed boost - 800 Ninjask after 3 Speed boost - 1000 Ninjask after 4 speed boost - 1200 Ninjask after 5 speed boost - 1400 Ninjask after 6 speed boost - 1600 The multipliers for each stage are: 1 [No buff] 1.5x 2x 2.5x 3x 3.5 4x And so on, though you can only go up 6 stages before it maxes out. When it says "raises x" it increases/decreases by 1 stage, when it says "sharply" it is raised/lowered by 2. Sorry if it's really confusing :p |
I'm always the first to reccomend scizor as a BP'r. Why? well, for one, it's immune to poison, so that won't be passed on. It can swords dance, agility, AND substitute. It also doubles as a defensive wall. Meaning, if you create a substitute, it may not "fade" because of scizors defense. If you BP WITH a substitute, your next pokemon is assured to come in safely.

What are some good Pokemon to pass to then?
You've already mentioned Scizor, any other good ones? Also appreciate the help. A lot. Most people have been, dare I say it, "Pokejerks". XD |

Like which Sweeper? |
If you're using speed buffs, it'd be ideal to pass them onto someone powerful but slow, like Tyranitar or Metagross.

So yes, Ambipom is a good passer. |
Yeah i check on serebii's D/P pokedex, and found that out myself, so yeah you can do good passing with ambipom.
|
Ninjask either Baton Passes to a tank or an average speed sweeper(e.g. Metagross, Rampardos)
|
Ninjask is overrated. Don't use it.
I like BPing Calm Mind to Zappy, and Mean Look to Celebi so it can use PErish Song. I love Perish Trapping. |
