Baton Pass
Baton Pass is one of the more interesting playstyles, that, when used correctly, has devastating results. In Dream World, Pokemon such as Deoxys-S, Blaziken, and several others make it easy to pull off a Baton Pass sweep. There is definitely no shortage of sweepers to pass to, and Blaziken can even sweep itself!
This style has become increasingly popular, and the move itself is the reason why Blaziken is being considered as too strong for the metagame. Baton Pass with Blaziken is ridiculously easy to use, and its not difficult to see why.
There's only a few complete stops to Baton Pass, and that includes: Phazing, Priority status such as Thundurus's Taunt / Thunder Wave and Sableye's Taunt / Will-O-Wisp.
Is Baton Pass healthy for the metagame? Is it balanced with Pokemon such as Blaziken? What are the most common strategies used in conjunction with Baton Pass? Is quick pass or full pass more effective? Is Baton Pass usable without Blaziken? These are just a few of the questions to consider.
