Prototype Gimmick Baton Pass Team

[MysticKenji]

2nd attempt at a team
This team's members are all able to support with Baton Pass and various support moves.
I could use some help, though...

Ninjask @ Leftovers
Jolly/Speed Boost
252 Speed/252 Attack/4 HP
-Protect
-Substitute
-Baton Pass
-X-Scissor
--Speed Raiser
His job is to stall long enough to get a few Speed Boosts in, then get swapped for a more appropriate pokemon for the situation.

Scizor @ Leftovers
Impish/Technician
252 HP/252 Defense/4 Attack
-Baton Pass
-Iron Defense
-Brick Break
-Night Slash
--Defense Raiser
I can can send him into any physical attacker not packing a fire move and get some raises in before I must swap him out.
First two moves are self-explanatory and the last two are for coverage.

Espeon @ Leftovers
Timid/Synchronize
192 Speed/122 Sp. Defense/196 HP
-BP
-CM
-HP [Fight]
-Shadow Ball
--Special Attack and Defense Raiser
Espeon is the best BL CMPasser.
Prove me wrong.

Gliscor @ Leftovers
Impish/Hyper Cutter
252 Attack/252 Speed/4 Defense
-Baton Pass
-Swords Dance
-EQ
-Fire Fang
--Attack Raiser
SD on the switch, and if I can't kill what gets sent out, I BP

Togekiss @ Leftovers (Noticing a pettern?)
Calm/Serene Grace
252 HP/164 Defense/92 Sp. Defense
-Air Slash
-Baton Pass
-Aura Sphere
-Flamethrower
--Special Sweeper
The intended target of CM boosts.
She also doubles as a tank.

Medicham @ Expert Belt
Adamant/Pure Power
252 Speed/252 Attack/4 HP
-Fire Punch
-Thunderpunch
-Ice Punch
-Baton Pass
--Physical Sweeper
Intended target of SDs
Has awesome type coverage

Comments?

You don't have any pokes that inflict status conditions, and you don't have a spinner either...

Those are quick comments before I go to bed.

it doesn't work great

i've played a fully BP team, it doesn't do too well (unless you rid the opponent of something that fears you)

but basically, a poke with fire, ice, water, and electric moves will kill you

so basically any team with a starmie and heatran will **** you

and flareon won't be able to do crap against heatran, bite at that point will probably do the most damage, and he'll own you with earth power, it's just not a safe team

then gyra leads absolutely **** you, nape will serve problems

heck, even crobat can serve you a problem

it's just weak to too many of the big 15, i would suggest not doing a full BP team

Btw, go could with Lefties on Flareon to keep the pattern going.

@Terywj
1. I guess I could have Vap use Toxic or something...
2. I'm pretty sure there are no Rapin Spinner Baton Passers
3. Sure? lol

@M4F
Noted.
I'm not actually using this right now, though, it's just an idea.

I'd actually recommend Leafeon as a Swords Dance passer. It's sturdy with its defenses, has good attack and its HP isn't too bad. Plus it's just my favorite pokemon.

That's actually not a half-bad idea. Imagine this...

Leafeon @ Leftovers
Jolly/Leaf Guard
252 Atk/252 Spd/6 HP <-Or some into Defense...
~Swords Dance
~Baton Pass
~Leaf Blade
~Dig/Rock Smash

 

[Kips]

Actually the current favorite for this set is:

Leafeon @ Leftovers
Impish Nature
Ability: Leaf Guard
EVs: 252 HP/252 Spd/6 Def
-Leaf Blade
-Swords Dance
-Baton Pass
-Substitute/Synthesis/Grasswhistle

Leafeon SDs up and then either hits hard with Leaf Blade or does one of the following:
Substitute: While Leafeons Base HP is awful, Substitute with 252 HP EV's can really set up a sturdy punching bag.

Synthesis: Might be useful to heal in between Swords Dances.

Grasswhistle: Nothing says awesome like lulling them to sleep and then SDing up or the reverse- Get a free switch in and start sweeping!

SUPER EDIT

Also, Gliscor > Leafeon
Less weaknesses, better type coverage

 

[mood4food77]

it be nice to see more leafeons..but it's so hard to make one on a team, kinda like lucario

pretty much, he'd have to revolve the team around leafeon if he was to use it
