    Hey dude. I'm normally GMT-8 (California), but I'm going on vacation today for a week. I will be GMT-10 (or something like that), so maybe I'll try to catch you online sometime. If not, let's plan on around 12-1 pm on Sunday, January 6th (I'll talk to BKC, so it's not a problem).
    Hey man, I'm sure you're a busy guy but from what I've seen you're an awesome rater and I'd greatly appreciate some feedback on my team with the silly name "Fear the Gatr" haha thanks dude
    Rate my baton passer team?
    Hey, I'm new to smogon and competitive battling, so please feel free to change it all you want. I do have one pokemon that is not included in OU but I figured it would be all right. I will be using this in single battle random matchup in game and I will try to use it in double too, to see if it could be useful for an official pokemon tournament. Also, I was wondering whether you could use 2 pokemon with the same item in competitive play, because that would change things up. So here goes,


    Starter for set 1:


    Ninjask/speed boost/leftovers/impish/ 248 HP/236 def/24 speed/
    protect
    substitute
    swords dance
    baton pass

    I picked him for a good baton pass starter, and takes huge advantage of teams that don't attack right away, for then I can set up a few quick moves with substitute and swords dance, then a baton pass to metagross. Biggest problem is definitely being a taunt bait, for he has no attack moves. He also is extremely susceptible to stealth rock.


    Metagross/clear body/life orb or choice band(depends on competitive play rules)/naive/4 HP/252 Attack/252 Speed
    zen headbutt
    earthquake
    meteor mash
    toxic/telekinesis(to aid articuno)/take down/rock slide (please make a recommendation)

    I picked him because he is an excellent sweeper, and can take most advantage of Ninjask's stat upgrades. with the speed boost upgrades and swords dance skyrocketing his already outstanding attack, he will be an insane sweeper, no matter if he's life orbed or choice banded. I am however, unsure about that last attack.


    Articuno/pressure/leftovers/248 Hp/236 def/24 speed/impish(unfortunately all I could get, can't be picky I guess)

    Mind Reader
    Sheer Cold
    rest
    ice beam

    This pokemon I'm the most unsure about. he will be great for finishing off maybe that last Pokemon that Metagross may leave behind, with a mind reader sheer cold combo. However, I may benefit more from a rapid spinner, for my team has a huge weakness to stealth rock.


    Set 2:

    Bronzong/heat proof/light clay/impish/252 HP/152 Atk/8 Def/96 Sp D
    Reflect
    light screen
    gyro ball
    earthquake

    This pokemon will be great for setting up a good environment for my baton passer with reflect and light screen, either ninjask or venemoth. He can also serve as a tank for a while, with gyro ball and earthquake to take out opponents. However, I will be extremely susceptible to rain teams with this opener. This is another one I am unsure I should keep.



    Venemoth/tinted lens/leftovers/bold/252 HP/4 SpA/252 Spe
    Baton pass
    Quiver dance
    sleep powder
    bug buzz

    Another great baton passer to use. with sleep powder to cripple opponents before setting up couple quiver dances then baton passing. Another one susceptible to stealth rock. quiver dance will be an extremely useful boost for the next pokemon....

    Sigilyph/Magic Guard/life orb/modest/252 Atk/252 Speed/4 HP
    Stored power
    thunderbolt
    ice beam
    roost/calm mind/shadow ball/air slash

    With stored power leading its moves, it can become extremely powerful with the quiver dances, as its special attack will be doubled and stored power will then do 140 damage. Along with thunderbolt and ice beam to deal with some weaknesses, he becomes an awesome special sweeper. However, I am unsure what to do with his last move.



    Concluding thoughts: Some glaring weaknesses in this team is undoubtedly stealth rock, which could cripple many of my pokemon, and rain teams when I open with bronzong. The two that I would most like to get rid of are Articuno and Bronzong, as they don't bring a lot to the table, especially articuno, and I am in desperate need of a rapid spinner as it seems. Thank you for your suggestions!
