A BP teams is not broken because they have checks and counters in the metagame and can put a offensive pressure. They are more uncompetitive because if you didn't check the BP in the first turns, you lose 6-0.
The only thing that pushed BP to be uncompetitive is Speed Boost (and specially Scolipede) and Magic Bounce Espeon.
My proposed nerf (because there has been arguments of being "uncompetitive") is:
-Banning Baton Pass + Speed Boost. The combination made Blaziken uncompetitive in Gen VI and is making uncompetitive on Scolipede in BP teams. No more Speed passing while using Protect or Iron Defense. You ahve to use Agility to pass speed.
-Banning Stored Power + Baton Pass. No source of 300-400 BP move in your disposal. We have enough with 90 BP Psychic.
And my favourite:
-Ban Speed Boost + Baton Pass and Magic Bounce + Baton Pass in the same team. You can use BP Espeon alone. You can use BP Scolipede alone. You can't use them together.
Banning Sppedd Boost + Baton Pass only affects Ninjask, which is weak. Banning Magic Bounce + Baton pass afects MAbsol, who even though it have to actually Mega evolve, does a great job in BP teams.
I don't suggest limiting to 3 the number of BP users because... it makes BP 100% unviable. What we are supposed to want is that the non-BP teams has reliable ways to deal a BP teams without changing into very specific users.
