    I wanted a Swords Dance user on my team, but I wasn't sure if Sandslash or Ninjask was a better choice. What I see is that Sandslash has better defense, and Ninjask has better speed... any comments? I don't really care about Ninjask's Baton Pass that much.

    The only reason to use Ninjask is for Baton Pass, so if you don't care about it then use Sandslash.

    sandslash is way better..

    ninjask has too low a defense against most attacks so.. i'd go for sandslash (plus sandslash is immense)

    No, Ninjask is only better if you use Baton Pass, which the original poster didn't care about. Therefore, Sandslash is a much better choice.

    if you batonpass: go with ninjask, my first choice, cause you can pass speed as wel, while attacking, has acces to silverwind, so.
    no batonpass? go with sandslash, better defeces, earthquake, with 3 times swordsdance, 400% of your attack, that's sweeping!
