No, you're right, its not a huge help. However, what is a good item for a Baton Passer? All my other pokes have what I think are their optimum items (Arcanine - Choice Band, Dragonite - Lum Berry, Forretress - Occa Berry, Milotic - Lefties, Metagross - Expert Belt), so I figured I may as well stick the sash in there somewhere. It helps if I use Iron Defense/Swords Dance as my opponent switches, I can take the fire move on 1HP and Baton Pass to something useful
