Baton Pass

[Random]

I'm not sure, I've always used Ambipom as a sort of annoyer...thing...Double hit, then U-turn on out of there. You can pretty much pass to any sweeper, Speed boosts can go either way, if it's Attack then to a physical sweeper, Sp.Attack to a special one.

Physical examples are: Swampert, Garchomp, Salamance, Metagross, TTar, Gallade, Infernape

Special examples are: Gardevoir, Gengar, Salamance, Porygon Z

Right so you used Ampibom's Nasty Plot to pass over to special sweeper, and Agility for slow ones, that are powerful but need a speed boost.

Oh wow, it does get Nasty Plot, I guess I kinda skimmed over it when I was leveling mine. After it learned Double Hit I pretty much had it done so didn't bother to read anything when it leveled XD

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.

Two BPers you might consider are Drifblim and Vaporeon. They can both be used to pass over 100 HP Substitutes. Vaporeon is also good for passing Acid Armors in a BP team and Drifblim is good for passing Calm Minds as well as Substitutes.

Ninjask isn't overrated, just overused, not to mention most people don't even know how to use it properly. However, in the right hands Ninjask can be extremely useful and should not be underestimated.

Smeargle/Vaporeon/Espeon/Scizor/Umbreon/Medicham is a basic example. Smeargle Spores, Ingrains, and traps, then passes those effects onto something else. Make sure everything has Baton Pass. You don't want to set up all those buffs again. Medicham is the primary receiver of the buffs. Medicham can also baton pass if he needs a heal or anything. With Pure Power and Baton Pass, he's probably the best receiver of Baton Pass.

Thanks. Two more questions.
1) Is Heracross good to pass too? He's fast and pretty strong.
2) Does Baton Pass work from Pokemon to Pokemon To Pokemon etc, or is it only from one Pokemon to the one picked after it?

1) You can pass between as many as you want. Heck, back in advance we had whole BP teams, although I'm not sure if that's as feasible nowadays.
2) Meh, something like Salamence or Metagross would probably be a better pass target. Hera is alright, but that double flying weak is an issue and it isn't quite as lethal as Mence these days. Aerodactyl is also a very viable pass target, and you could also consider running a Medicham with something like Fake Out/Hi Jump Kick/Ice Punch/Baton Pass and Life Orb for a hold item. That way you could pass to it, Fake Out whatever has come in for some serious damage, then pass on or stay and fight, depending on the opponent. The longer you can pass on the fun the worse it is for your opponent. :3
