Here is my psuedo-baton pass team. I say "psuedo" because Baton Pass is only present on one poke anymore (Scolipede, obviously), but he is used as a buffer between about every switch.
Scolipede @ Leftovers
Speed Boost
-Protect
-Substitute
-Toxic Spikes
-Baton Pass
Lucario @ Leftovers
Justified
-Close Combat
-Circle Throw
-Swords Dance
-Blaze Kick
Espeon @ Leftovers
Magic Bounce
-Stored Power
-Dazzling Gem
-Calm Mind
-Morning Sun
Talonflame @ Sharp Beak
Gale Wings
-Brave Bird
-Flare Blitz
-Roost
-Swords Dance
Cloyster @ White Herb
Skill Link
-Icicle Spear
-Rock Blast
-Rapid Spin
-Shell Smash
Gengar @ Black Sludge
Shadow Tag!!! (I wish, but he obviously has Levitate)
-Toxic
-Confuse Ray
-Pain Split
-Destiny Bond
Scolipede and Espeon are the real tag team here. Speed Boost works so well with Stored Power, it should be banned, and that's before the Calm Mind boosts. Morning Sun helps ease setup, and Dazzling Gem is a godsend as far as coverage.
Scolipede used to be Ninjask, I feel I should mention that. Scoli is not as frail, and Toxic Spikes works great with Lucario. Let me explain his set before you scoff, I do realize it is unique. Lucario is my Cloyster counter (who used to rip holes in this team). With his Speed boosted from Scoli and Toxic Spikes down, Circle Throw is perfect. It allows for setup while passing poison/toxic around.
Gengar is my panic button. I realize he is all utility, but he is such a good antithesis to opposing setups. There are also very few things as annoying as Toxic and Confuse Ray. Destiny Bond can cause a stalemate if revealed too early, but that's not always a bad thing; it can cause an opponent to abandon a setup or bite the bullet and go down with me.
Cloyster and Talonflame are good quick sweepers who are not as dependant on Baton Pass/Toxic Spikes as Espeon and Lucario. They also provide excellent coverage for the other one.
