Change is coming.
I will be free for battles tonight. Just pm/vm me and we can sort something out.
To maybe bring up a discussion,Smogon is looking onto Baton Pass to see if it needs to be suspected./ Thoughts on this?
Ok, so I've been gone for about a week and a half and didn't update the records at all, so let me explain where I've been.
On April 9th, I've picked up Batman Arkham Origins and got sucked into an unexpected Batman Arkham marathon (If you have the money, get all 3 Batman Arkham games or at the very least, get Asylum and City. If you have a PS4/XB1, get Arkham Knight too) Only just now did i truly finish everything I wanted to do in the Bat-a-Thon. I update everyone with their XP, Shards, and their battle record. I feel so bad for taking a leave without a notice.

With regards to the Baton Pass situation, I find that it adds variety to the mix and provides players with a need to adjust in order to ease the problems of Baton Pass. Case in point: My battle with Garnet.
That said, it's not the end-all clause of the battle. I was somehow able to take it down the target of Baton Pass despite still losing. Of course, Smogon likes to have dead certain chances, no? Not anything to do with luck or whatnot.
Baton Pass had everything it needs this gen to one-up pretty much everything that isn't odd or only works once. Baton Pass just gets free momentum everywhere nowadays. If you aren't packing Talonflame or MegaPinsir, you are going to have a tough time. Scoliopede+Espeon really put pressure on the opponent since Scoliopede gets at least one free Speed Boost or more while able to SD or Iron Defense and start the chain. Espeon just just screw you to Taunt and phasing. Sure, Baton Pass teams need 2-4 of the same members on every team, but it doesn't mean it doesn't work.
My main argument for why it should be banned is because it extremely creative. To be reliable, a BP teams needs Espeon/Scoliopede/Sylveon/potentially Vaporeon or Smeargle. Since it gets switch advantage, it can easily get the boosts according to the pokemon that is currently out. It just seems too algorithmic and unhealthy.
There should also be another pokemon for a reliable BP team. Mr. Mime. Mr.Mime blocks out Perish Song with Soundproof. Although uncommon, Perish Song stops Baton Pass chains along with Taunt and Roar/Whirlwind. Mr. Mime imo, should always be in BP teams just because of Perish Song.
Eh, what the hell xD

Hey all! I haven't posted in a while but I have been working fairly hard at team building for my gym. I was just wondering if/when this was going to happen?
Edit:
I will also be on Xat if anyone wants to hang out and chat for a while
