Baton Pass cos baton passing stuff
Swords Dance is nice to pass
Bulk Up for defense as well
Slow SubPassing is cool for set up sweepers and such
Drain Punch is nice STAB
High Jump Kick is powerful if you want to take advantage of your own boosts
Knock Off provides good coverage and at +2 Knock Off+HJK is cool
Substitute can be used if not already using it to block status
Taunt is an alternative to block status and also phazing moves like whirlwind
Set Details
========
Eviolite is bulk
Impish /Relaxed to boost defense. Relaxed can be used if you want to pass slower to make sure the thing you're switching in is safe
11 Speed with relaxed still outspeeding porygon and other slow walls so you can sub/taunt before they status you
alternative offensive spread can be used with swords dance max Atk/Spe so you can try to sweep yourself before passing the boosts on.
Regenerator means you can heal up allowing you to pass boosts all game
Usage Tips
========
Bulky pivot, that can pass boosts the entire game.
can pass boosts easily on walls thanks to taunt/sub.
can set up on things like porygon and pawniard that it normally forces out
can live some SE moves like fletchling acrobatics so it can take a hit and baton pass to the incoming pokemon safely
baton pass can be used like u-turn
generally you want it to be slower than the opponent so it can bring the receiver in safely
if you have drain punch+knock off you can often sweep yourself late game with bulk and recovery in drain punch
if using faster spread and hjk the aim is to do as much damage as you can before coming across a counter like spritzee/foongus/trubbishand then pass the boosts on.
Team Options
========
fast, frail physical attackers love mienfoo, because it can boost them and get them in safely. stuff like scarf drilbur/pawniard/bunnelby/cranidos, carvanha, ponyta, taillow, doduo, aipom, all work really well
