Baton Pass Competitive Analysis

Baton Pass is a strong support move that allow you to pass any stat change (including debuffs) onto a party Pokemon of your choice. This move works similarly to most Switching Moves.

This move is especially strong when you get to set up with other stat-boosting moves such as Swords Dance and Nasty Plot. This allows you to safely boost your sweepers.
