Advanced Baton Pass Guide

[WebBowser]

Hey BP folks. As you may or may not know, there is a discussion on the OU board to determine whether or not BP should be nerfed and how. To the surprise of absolutely no one, the community is largely for nerfing it, the most popular option being limiting BP users on a team to 3 or less. It does not look like BP is going to be banned in it's entirety, but it would still be a death blow to most of the teams posted here.

Here's the thread for those not already aware of it:

Not gonna lie, it's going to be an uphill battle for anti-nerf advocates. TC(Hiphiphoray) and I have been PMing each other discussing what to do about this. I don't think anyone's giving up yet (I sure haven't. and I don't even play BP!).

Hiphiphooray what is the status of this? it needs a revamp due to the BP nerf.

After playing a few games with various teams, post-nerf, there is still much work to be done to finding the new ideal Baton Pass team. I will continue this guide and open it as more of a general Baton Pass guide, covering all styles (Chain, Quick, Defensive, and Post-Nerf).
