Smashpass is good, but no mon can learn it yet. Escartress maybe. For now, let Tail Glow, Swords Dance and Agility be an alt until Shell Smash is released.

However, they would still pack a punch without Baton Pass.(10-01-2016, 05:28 PM)Paperboy012305 Wrote:I honestly hope this clause isnt't implemented in Uranium's comp scene. At least, the later part of the clause (just fine with one Baton Passer per team). From where I stand, there are not to many decent Passers out there besides Luxelong, Stenowatt (maybe), Winotinger, and some of the Eevelutions in Uranium, and limiting them would just be silly to me.(10-01-2016, 05:10 PM)Lord Windos Wrote: The way I read it now, it says a Baton Passer can't have a two Stat Boosting moves, if one of them boosts Speed. Does that mean Dragon Dance Baton Pass is still legal? Does the clause take abilities that boost speed into account on a Baton Pass users?It does say a move that boosts speed and another boosting move. So having Tail Glow and Agility with Baton Pass is illegal. So are moves that boosts 2 stats at once. Like Dragon Dance. I would still say its illegal. And it doesn't say abilities, but i'm pretty sure that's illegal too. Really, one of the only things Baton Pass would still be good for is setting up a Sub-Pass.
At the very least, if this ban was enacted, their would have to be some re-tweaking of promienet Baton Passer movepools just to give them more option to pass stuff around... I would be fine if they didn't allow more than one stat boosting move per Baton Passer, but that is still shaky ground.
And if you really would like to know what other stuff a Baton Passer can pass down. Look here: http://pokemondb.net/move/baton-pass
Thank you for the link~. I also know that Baton Passer can still be useful/useful in other role with the Clause, but I feel it would really limit the sets and team comps they could run.
Smashpassing, though, is straight to Uber, if not outright banned (Hi, Ratfiti!)
