VGC Baton Pass....in a doubles?

[JackDB]

For whatever reason, I enjoy baton pass teams. I tried them in the VGC tournament this year in Madison, and I attained 28th place with it. Though that still sucks, let's just say it's an improvement.

It was a terrible team and the only reason that I managed that was because I got pitted against crappy players and because I would like to think that even with the terrible team I have a fair amount of skill. I would like to manage the top cut come the next season, so I've started on my team now.

So, a new team:

Firstly, my physical sweeper.
Heracross@Heracronite
Guts
Adamant
Close Combat, Megahorn, Stone Edge, Earthquake

Special Sweeper
Alakazam@Alakazamite
Synchronize
Modest
Psychic, Dazzling Gleam, Focus Blast, Shadow Ball

Physical Passer
Ninjask@Leftovers
Speed Boost
Impish
Baton Pass, Swords Dance, Substitute, X-Scissor

Physical Passer
Scolipede@Salac Berry
Speed Boost
Adamant
Baton Pass, Swords Dance, Substitute, Megahorn

Special Passer
Ambipom@Chople Berry
Technician
Timid
Agility, Nasty Plot, Baton Pass, Hyper Beam

Special Passer
Espeon@Focus Sash
Magic Bounce
Impish
Baton Pass, Calm Mind, Substitute, Psychic



I am worried about primarily one thing: the three bug types. having three of the same types on one team is kinda scary. However, I think I can combat this by having stone edge on Heracross, my sweeper, who can take out flying types easily.

Also, I'm thinking about trading agility for thunderbolt on Ambipom and also changing hyper beam to a status move such as toxic/thunder wave.

If I could get a considerable amount of feedback on this, that would be awesome.

Thanks for the help!
