I've decided to focus more on Baton Passing now, since my regular teams are lacking, and I'm a cool Baton Passer by nature.

Umbreon (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 240 HP / 68 Def / 200 SDef
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Baton Pass
- Charm
- Protect
- Wish

Charm and Wish stops Cursers cold. It's also a great way for my team to set up. I've got a 00 IV for Speed for more effective Wishpassing.

Mawile (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Baton Pass
- Counter
- Swords Dance
- Taunt

Bringing this sexy bastard into the OU metagame. With Charm supporting it, and Intimidate added into the mix, it can slap some of the STABed Earthquakes right back with minimal damage. Other than that, Swords Dance passing without Skarm messing it up.

Zapdos @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 168 Atk / 64 Def / 24 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Drill Peck
- Light Screen
- Rest
- Thunder

I got this set from Pyro. I might have to switch Thunder for Thunderbolt though, or something. It can receive and use Swords Dances too. Take that, Skarm.

Tentacruel (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 136 Spd / 120 SDef
Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Rapid Spin
- Sludge Bomb
- Surf / Hydro Pump
- Toxic

When I got to this point, I needed a Bulky water and I needed a spinner. I also needed something that could take an SD pass. I ALSO needed something that wouldn't be too screwed by special hits. Charm and Intimidate work its wonders again, for Tentacruel's fragility on the physical side is all but made up for. I had a little trouble making a set, but this could work. I can Surf/Hydro Pump Gengar, and Toxic Dusclops switch-ins.

Celebi @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 240 HP / 116 Def / 32 Spd / 40 SAtk / 80 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Heal Bell
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Psychic
- Recover

Needed a cleric. I hate not having Reflect on this, but it's all I can do to not be COMPLETELY screwed by Tyranitar and Duggie while still using my Heal Bell.

Flygon (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 204 HP / 252 Atk / 16 Def / 20 Spd / 16 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
- Rock Slide
- Screech

Covered both HP Grass Zapdos and Tyranitar for me. It's amazing what Flygon can do with an SD Pass, Screech, and a STABed Earthquake. Really makes me wish I had Spikes.

I'm not quite comfortable with it yet, so I''ll need some suggestions. Might be another one of my cooler Baton Pass attempts.
