[Overview]
  • Nasty Plot and Baton Pass.
  • Not the best typing ever.
  • Easy to 2HKO with Stealth Rock.
  • Rely on Eviolite to be bulky, so it is easy to wear down.
  • Unlike Volbeat, Togetic has a slow Baton Pass that allows to bring its teammates safely. CM Pass Musharna and Mr. Mime also gives Togetic competition.
  • Unlike other Baton Pass users, Togetic is able to remove its recipient's counter with its huge movepool.
  • Quite bulky on the special side.

[SET]
name: Baton Pass
move 1: Nasty Plot
move 2: Baton Pass
move 3: Roost
move 4: Hyper Voice / Fire Blast
item: Eviolite
ability: Serene Grace
nature: Calm
evs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD

[SET COMMENTS]
  • Nasty Plot to boost Togetic's Special Attack and potentially pass the boost to a teammate.
  • Baton Pass lets Togetic pass boosts and can also bring momentum on your side.
  • Roost to recover health.
  • Hyper Voice is Togetic's most reliable STAB as Tri Attack is illegal with Nasty Plot, leaves it walled by Ghost-types though.
  • Fire Blast is strong, and while it is not STAB, it lets Togetic hit Ghost-types while nailing Metang quite hard. It can also help to remove the recipient's counter (exemple: removing Metang for Jynx).

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
  • Physically defensive spread 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpDef with a Bold nature.
  • Steel-types such as Metang and Probopass.
  • Special Attacker that will enjoy getting the Nasty Plot boost from Togetic, such as Jynx, Samurott, Charizard, and Serperior.
  • Seismitoad works well with Togetic as it is immune to Electric-type attacks while Togetic resists Grass-type attacks and can set up a Nasty Plot on the Grass-types that force Seismitoad out. Seismitoad can also be a receiver.

[Other Options]
  • Shadow Ball, Grass Knot, and Signal Beam.
  • Togetic can easily ditch Baton Pass and Nasty Plot to use support moves such as Encore, Heal Bell, Magic Coat, Toxic, and Thunder Wave if your team doesn't need it to pass Nasty Plot.
  • Yawn, Wish, and Tailwind.
  • Ancientpower, Silver Wind, Ominous Wind
  • Hustle.
  • ?????

[Checks and Counters]
  • Electric-types such as Eelektross, Rotom-Spin, and Electabuzz.
  • Rock-types such as Golem, Carracosta, and Regirock.
  • Phazers such as Bastiodon, and Misdreavus with Perish Song.
  • Taunt users such as Misdreavus, Mandibuzz, and Serperior.
  • Jynx and Piloswine.
  • Strong physical attacker such as Sawk can easily beat Togetic.
  • Status.

ancientpower, ominous wind, and silver wind in oo since togetic has a 20% chance of activating them and can bp out the boosts

move those support moves to oo

fire blast in ac since it lures out metang which is beneficial for many bp recipitents (mainly jynx)

physically defensive spread in ac since it's viable as well

wish, yawn, tailwind also in oo

mention how it differentiates itself from volbeat as a baton passer because it is slow and lets the sweepers get in without being hit

mention that it's really bulky on the special side

Done FLCL

Tell me if there's any Pokemon that could be great Nasty Plot recipient because I feel like I am missing a ton lol.

I actually think Fire Blast could go over HP Flying, cuz despite the lack of STAB Fire Blast still hits neutral targets harder and killing Metang is cool. Since HP Flying's only purpose is to hit Ghosts I'd rather just use Fire Blast which can also serve other purposes (like against Metang). Also a +2 Fire Blast OHKOes Haunter while HP Flying only has about an 18% chance to do so.

At any rate though idk why I'd ever use this over CM Pass Musharna lol

Made the change Fire Blast>Hp Flying since as you said, it is stronger overall Oo.

Also I do agree that CM Pass Musharna(and to an extent, Mr. Mime?) also gives competition to Togetic, so I will mention that. Pretty sure Togetic's main niche is its ability to remove its recipient's counter with its huge amount of coverage move, while the other CM Pass Pokemon only uses their STAB Psychic or is Volbeat.
