If you've seen some of my Sweep Saturday battles, you'll notice that I can't just sweep a team with a Pokemon alone because no Pokemon is really powerful enough to destroy all types of Pokemon with ease.
The move Baton Pass gives a simple and fun way to power up your Pokemon and have a laugh when you beat them up with a Goomy. (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA)
Baton Pass will pass any stat boosts or stat de-buffs that the current Pokemon has. For example, if I set up Calm Mind on my Espeon and use Baton Pass to switch into my Goodra, that Goodra will receive the Calm Mind boost that Espeon passed.
Sometimes, it's easy to just set up and sweep, but not all Pokemon get setup moves that can benefit their fighting ability. That's why Baton Pass is such a unique move that can give any Pokemon an edge in battling.
Common Baton Pass Strategies:
- Speed Boosters
Speed Boost is a great ability that will boost your speed stat every turn. Speed is an important stat for sweeping, especially if you don't have the defenses to take a hit when your opponent moves first.
Common Users: Blaziken, Scolipede, Ninjask
2. Spore/Sleep Powder
If you really are determined to set up stats to pass, you could put them to sleep to give you at least one free turn to get stat boosts up.
Common Users: Smeargle, Venomoth
3. Smash Pass
Whew, if you REALLY want to get big on stat boost passing, you should try Smash Pass, which is passing Shell Smash, which boosts Attack, Special Attack, and Speed.
Common Users: Huntail, Smeargle, Gorebyss
4. Don't Stop At Just One!
Remember, you can Baton Pass through a team of five Pokemon to eventually pass it to a sweeper. You don't need to just have one boost to pass. Try passing all of the stat boosts!
