BP nijask should definitely be the second set (if it should even get one) and the moveset should be:
baton pass/protect/xscissor or aerial/sub or sd
It needs attacking moves or it is just fodder for anything and it allows jask to RK moves like jumpluff

CB is its better set and giga drain should be slashed with night slash (at least moves mention) as it lets ninjask bait in golem/costa or revenge kill boosted costa assuming ninjask is at full, and night slash only really hits missy which isnt the hardest poke to revenge kill.

e: didnt see the speed boost on cb ninjask but that should be infiltrator
also hold before deleting speed boost as some qc (ie scorp) want it as a set

Baton Pass is really mediocre and is OO material at best, other mons do it way better. Also Infiltrator is the better ability on CB, mainly for Poliwrath.

e: also this is really minor but U-turn is the move Ninjask should be using most often, while from my experience X Scissor isn't used in that many situations at all, so having the move order be U-turn, AA, X-Scissor, 4th slot makes more sense.

I don't think Baton Pass is that bad. Which other mons do it better? because Ninjask is the only one that can automatically gain speed boosts and then pass them.

Also, as for the last slot of CB, I want to see Night Slash slashed with more stuff. Night Slash's use is pretty limited (as with anything else in that slot tbh) so stuff like Sleep Talk or even Final Gambit might see slashes there. QC input would be nice though :)

 

[Magnemite]

Mainly Huntail, but the main problem with it is that it's incredibly hard-pressed to set up on anything. A more offensive Subpass set is probably fine, but defensive with Protect just isn't good against a competent player from my experience and is deadweight if it can't pass anything.

 

[Anty]

Just a nitpick but 36 Speed should be used on the Baton Pass set to let Ninjask out speed Zebstrika
