PVP Feedback - Baton Pass

[Vithu96]

It was a great idea to ban it.

Baton pass should stay banned. SImply put it is banned in showdown gen 7 ou (which is probably the closest to PRO's pokemon pool) and they even have it banned. It also creates a poor experience for all players involved. Do we really want bold toge faster than eveything? Baton Pass overall worsens the meta game.

Same for most legendary and mega evolution pokèmon.

Yes I agree baton pass must be banned in PvP...I have seen many people using gliscor swords dance to buff high speed Pokemon like jolly garchomp and sweep out everything...it can't be called a fair match at all..even giving a good amount of speed to heavy hitters like rhyperior using scolipede speed boost will finish everything before start..they will have no weakness at all..it will be like a dictator ruling eveything...hence I request baton pass be banned

Thanks.

I think you all might be right or wrong (depends on each one opinion) up to a point. Most of you are considering only the typical Baton Pass use: boost a party member. But you forget that Baton Pass is the only way to escape from a Pursuit Trapper without taking damage (if we are faster than the trapper). So banning Baton Pass would also affect (and worsen) those teams which needs Baton Pass to switch out safely their pokes, without passing any stat changes.

 

So, in case Baton Pass become forever a Banned Move, in my humble opinion only Boosting Baton Pass should be banned, letting people the option of using Baton Pass just as a saving move.
