Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
You can't counter Baton Pass. That's the difference. In MOBA games *cough* LoL *cough* you know what your enemy will pick. In Pokemon, you can't change your team when you see your opponent. If you run a BP countering team, you will get destroyed by non-BP. Do you really struggle to understand that?
Magic Bounce + Baton Pass seems to be the issue. You can usually beat BP with status. It's true that Scolipede is the reason BP became popular, but without Magic Bounce you can:
Use Taunt
Phaze
Use Haze
Use Perish Song
Use Curse
I think that's enough. Those moves together with Unaware Clefable...
