BOOST and JETPUNCH (generation 5)

You can edit the original post with your changes you know... And Ninjask really isn't effective in this metagame. You are better off finding a bulkier speed passer with access to Taunt. Ninjask is wrecked by Mischievous Heart Taunt, phazing moves, and basically any strong move. Oh and 4x weak to Stealth Rock.... Not to mention it can't do anything to virtually any common lead these days. Ninjask is just... outdated. To be honest, Baton Pass is really not effective in this metagame until BP +SB Blaziken and BP + MM Espeon are released. But that's just my opinion.

I would recommend keeping Togekiss over Drifblim as Driblim is horrible, and does not do anything better than Togekiss. A Togekiss set with Air Slash/Aura Spere/Nasty Plot/Baton Pass could work, or you could fit in Thunder Wave support somewhere to help your rather slow BP recipients.

I shall test out the togekiss and actually i do not see as many taunt leads anymore they usually have to switch to get it and by that time i will have a substitute out and can use x scissor to kill it unless it is something like an aerodactyle.

Magnezone will give your team big trouble as most carry a pseudo bolt-beam which is SE against almost all your team except Metagross, but Magnezone can at least 3HKO it, but is barely able to 5HKO. (Assuming Metagross hasn't received any boosts, because Magnezone can easily take of Gorebyss, Gliscor and Togekiss.)

how does magnezone handle Gliscor?? it cant thunderbolt because gliscor is ground type so how does it take care of gliscor?
 
just to clear up boosts DON'T cap at 999, they can go over. This is what occured in RBY and I think GSC but not for 4th or 5th gen. Magnezone can hit gliscor with hidden power ice. In case you don't know, hidden power is a special attack that can have 70 base power and can become any type you want it to be, in this case the ice type for gliscor
 
I'm not 100% sure if they capped at 999 in generation 1 or 2. but what I know without a doubt is that stats boosts can make your stats higher than 999 in generation 4 and 5
 
Just posting to say MasterX is right. The 999 cap was only inplemented in gens 1 and 2, not any of the ones after (not sure about gen 3 though).
