[Overview]

  • Has access to Quiver Dance, great move, with getting +1 Sp Atk, +1 Sp Def and +1 Spe.
  • Very common weaknesses and has a big weakness to Stealth Rock(50%).
  • It has a good ability, Intimidate can be of great support for both the same and the team.
  • On the other hand, the ability of DW is very bad, Unnerve its a horrible ability and hasn't utility because is outclassed by Intimidate. Really is useless and Intimidate is pretty good for Masquerain and the whole team.
  • A decent movepool with: Bug Buzz, Air Slash, Scald, Hydro Pump, Blizzard, Ice Beam, Shadow Ball and Energy Ball.
  • Can work very well but need a lot of support to the rest of the team.
[SET]
name: Baton Passer
move 1: Quiver Dance
move 2: Roost
move 3: Bug Buzz
move 4: Baton Pass
item: Leftovers
ability: Intimidate
nature: Bold
evs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spe



[SET COMMENTS]
  • Defensive Spread to take better the physical attacks along with Intimidate.
  • After Quiver Dance can take decently special attacks and restore lost life with roost.
  • Bug Buzz is the only offensive move in this set because this set is more oriented to Baton Pass to another different pokemon in the team.
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]


  • Dual Screener for this set is really a great option, because thanks to that defense can set up more easily, Cryogonal is a good option because learn Reflect, Light Screen and Rapid Spin. Mesprit, Gardevoir and Musharna good options too, especially Mesprit with Stealth Rock and Healing Wish.
  • Rapid Spin is necessary because it is very weak to Stealth Rocks.
  • Pokemon baton pass receiver may be many, Mesprit with Grass Knot is a good option for Quagsire, Magmortar too with a good coverage and ability.
  • This set is more reliable.
  • This set is probably the best set for Masquerain.
[SET]
name: Offensive Quiver Dancer
move 1: Bug Buzz
move 2: Quiver Dance
move 3: Air Slash
move 4: Hydro Pump / Roost
item: Life Orb / Leftovers
ability: Intimidate
nature: Timid
evs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe



[SET COMMENTS]
  • This set is more offensive, Quiver Dance helps with SpAtk, SpDef and Spe.
  • This is a set flexible can do little more bulk with Leftovers and Roost or more offensive with Timid or Modest nature, Life Orb and Hydro Pump.
  • Air Slash and Bug Buzz are the two moves with STAB and Hydro Pump helps with Golem, Regirock, Probopass.
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

  • Stealth Rocks are good for this offensive set, Spikes are always very good but the users of spikes in Never Used are bad.
  • Rapid Spin needed for this set.
[Other Options]
  • Scald over Hydro Pump.
  • Baton Pass in the Offensive Set.
  • Energy Ball is a good lure for Quagsire over Scald or Roost, and can take Regirock and Golem too.
  • Agility set but Quiver Dance set is better.
[Checks and Counters]
  • Mainly specially defensive walls, Mantine Resttalker with Toxic, Altaria learn Toxic, Perish Song and Roar; Audino and Mintalk with Toxic too.
  • The set Baton Passer is more hard of counter for this set is better a Revenge Killer or Phazer, Sawk Scarf is really a good RK to Masquerain and HKO easily with Stone Edge. Rotom-F and Rotom-S are a good RK specially.
  • Masquerain is very weak to Stealth Rocks.

Make sure to move the mentions of the EV spreads to AC. Remember, you basically talk about how the set functions and the moves/item in set comments, and then talk about the spread, any other unmentioned moves, and teammates in AC. For example, it's worth noting that you still don't outspeed Swellow at +1 even with Timid, so teammates that get rid of that before you try to BP / sweep would be great. You also need to add the ability to the set formatting; it comes right after item. Just flesh this out a little bit and you've got my stamp.

edit: trop pointed out on irc that unnerve is released, so you don't even need a dream world section for it.
 
Like I notfied you on IRC, there are some formatting errors.

The sets should look like this:

[SET]
name: Baton Passer
move 1: Quiver Dance
move 2: Roost
move 3: Bug Buzz
move 4: Baton Pass
item: Leftovers
ability: Intimidate
nature: Bold
evs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spe

[SET]
name: Offensive Quiver Dancer
move 1: Bug Buzz
move 2: Quiver Dance
move 3: Air Slash
move 4: Hydro Pump / Roost
item: Life Orb / Leftovers
ability: Intimidate
nature: Timid
evs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe

Also change these [Set Comments], [Addtional Comments] to: [SET COMMENTS], [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

Also, remove the Dream World section. It is released.

QC APPROVED (3/3)

Thanks guys, Butterfree is oriented to sweep the team of the opponent and has Sleep Powder although Masquerain is better for Baton Pass in addition this has Intimidate a good ability support for the rest of the team and Butterfree cant learn BP.
 
The 4 HP EVs should go into Defense on the offensive Quiver Dancer, otherwise SR's going to finish you off the second time you switch in.
