its veeeeery hard to understand
Baton Pass chains were much used in the third generation, when the fastest Pokemon Jolteon and Aerodactyl were used and there was no Stealth Rock to take a bit of life at each change and to break Focus Sash. With the arrival of D / P Pokémon came also very strong and with Priority moves, as with Lucario
Extremespeed, Scizor with Bullet Punch and Mamoswine with Ice Shard. In addition, there are many quick Taunters, which also end the strategy Baton Pass. Finally, to make matters even worse things to Baton Pass Chain fourth generation brought the item Choice Scarf, which increases the Speed of who is using by doing some other Pokemon to overcome with a Boost Agility, for example. Even with all these problems, a team of Baton Pass, if used well and in the right hands, can be destructive.
What is Baton Pass?
Before starting to assemble a team of Baton Pass, it is important to know what makes this scam.

Lopunny
Loppuny is undoubtedly one of the best Agility Passers game. This is due to two reasons in particular: the move Encore, which is used as Lead, Loppuny can hold some Pokémon to use Stealth Rock Agility and thus use more easily. The second reason is the other moves he learns Switcheroo, which exchange the item with another user's Pokémon (equal Trick) and this can leave some Lopunny Burned opponent, decreasing then its Atk.

Im tempted to add to the derailing and quote all that.
Yeah.... I'lll...... read that more carefully when I'm more awake.okay so i will explain itI've read about it, but it didn't make much sense to me.
its veeeeery hard to understand
Baton Pass chains were much used in the third generation, when the fastest Pokemon Jolteon and Aerodactyl were used and there was no Stealth Rock to take a bit of life at each change and to break Focus Sash. With the arrival of D / P Pokémon came also very strong and with Priority moves, as with Lucario
Extremespeed, Scizor with Bullet Punch and Mamoswine with Ice Shard. In addition, there are many quick Taunters, which also end the strategy Baton Pass. Finally, to make matters even worse things to Baton Pass Chain fourth generation brought the item Choice Scarf, which increases the Speed of who is using by doing some other Pokemon to overcome with a Boost Agility, for example. Even with all these problems, a team of Baton Pass, if used well and in the right hands, can be destructive.
What is Baton Pass?
Before starting to assemble a team of Baton Pass, it is important to know what makes this scam. Baton Pass is a stroke of 40 PP whose main effect, switch the Pokémon that used by another Pokémon team and pass it all boosts status he had. It also allows the user to escape Shadow Tag, Magnet Pull, Arena Trap.
