Whenever Greninja KOs any of your Pokemon, bring in Smogonbird. Brave Bird always outspeeds and KOs it. Maybe also bring Will-O-Wisp against Kang, WoW destroys it. Mega Lucario is also a textbook check and counter, outspeeding and KOing with Close Combat as long as it already M.Evolved. M.Lucario is considered Uber by Smogon (banned for competitive use, like M.Gengar and M.Kang) so you may be frowned upon.

Ah, I'll probably try to avoid it then. I wish people knew how cheap their Pokemon are sometimes, but they obviously don't. At least most people don't use legendaries online. So I was thinking of a good baton passer to use. Scolipede kind of dies easily and he has yet to learn baton pass. I was thinking maybe of Ambipom? His defense and special defense are in the red/orange zone though, but I was hoping his speed and being a normal type would make up for it. Thoughts?  

Ninjask is the best Baton Passer for SD boosts alongside Scolipede. The trick is to not lead with these two, they're pretty obvious leads. Bring then in on a tank, Substitute, then set up whatever you want to BP and sweep. Make sure both have the ability Speed Boost, that's the main reason they're viable over, say, Scizor.

I was going to use Ninjask once because of his speed, but I'm afraid he'll die easy. Some speed characters are useless against moves that always go first like Sucker Punch and Talonflame's ability of flying moves getting first priority. I think I will actually end up using a tank. It would be very useful against my friend's annoying ass Mega Kangaskhan. The reason I wanted Ambipom is because he can use both an attack that raises special attack two stages and another attack that raises speed two stages.

EDIT: Also, behold the number of cheaters: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/20004...ading/69026279  

then use Shedinja, ts ability is allows it to only be attacked by super effective moves (Can get status from attacks however. And spikes and floating stones kill it) But beside from 1HP, It knows a very wide range of moves.

Also, I would like to have a battle with your friend! I got moves to block every weakness.
P.S. Offering a LV.76 female Pyroar. It knows; Over Heat, Fire Fang, Crunch, and I forgot the last one, I don't have the stats with me right now. I have 3 Fire types, Delphox, Blaziken (from torchic distibution) and pyroar. But I have Absol to fight with dark moves.  

What a little ****. It was 5 of my Pokemon vs. this guy named Enzo's full 6 team of legendaries on a 2 vs. 2 battle and right as I'm about to win he disconnects. People like that piss me off to the very core. The worst part is I gave him a like earlier because he watched my PR Video.

I'm going to test a few of them. Right now I'm breeding an Ambipom. I just have my heart set on trying him since I love him. You should. Kick his Kengha's butt for me.  

I thought they made it so that whoever disconnects gets a loss.

and alright...(if there is a M I got the mega stone) I got Xernias, Lucario M, Delphox, Pyroar, Blaziken M, Absol M. Any moves or pokemon that he sends out? I love triple battles, so should I go in triple? and what is his player name?  

If you want a good Nasty Plot + Baton Passer, you can use Mew or Togekiss. They're a lot bulkier and can get the boosts off pretty easily.

His player name is Dal.

I checked the stats and that does look pretty good. I just got my Ambipom up to level 50 so now I can work on getting a Togekiss. I think I'm going to quit that forums site though. I never realized how many people on there cloned and shinifyed their Pokemon. Who knows how many of mine are cloned or Pokegenned.

Edit: Got a pretty good Togekiss over GTS for Giritina. It's timid and has 3 Perfect IVs in HP, SP. ATK, and SP. DEF. On the other hand, I don't think it's built like a Baton Passer so I probably have to just breed my own anyways since people don't trade honestly over GTS. Still, 3IVs is better than none.  

I got to see Ninjask in action. Not bad, not bad. The guy used a special move to boost his attack (or special attack), got a speed boost, hung on with focus sash, got another speed boost, and then used baton pass. However, he baton passed with Kabutops and didn't even get my Garchomp down to half health and I killed him. I see now though how Ninjask would be a very good baton passed despite being able to be damaged so easily. Gotta say though, love Talonflame's flying priority ability. It is extremely useful for outspeeding opponents. I have sharp beak equipped so flying attacks do more damage as well.

EDIT: I'm sorry for raging so much, but holy **** Mega Kanghaskan. You know a Pokemon should be banned when Fake Out does 82 damage.

Substitute/Protect/Boost move(like SD)/Baton Pass

I'm still confused about substitute. One of my opponents used it once and I just broke right through it. I think I'm also going to give grass knot a shot for Greninja. U-Turn is cool and all, but I don't think it takes advantage of his protean enough, plus it is a physical attack. It has helped me out a couple times, but I think I'll try grass knot to see which one I like better.  

Sub protects against status, and if they try to status you, you basically get a free turn of setup. Subs can also be passed on.

Ah, okay. I actually haven't seen them be used too much yet for some reason. I really like Zoroark. The whole illusion thing is awesome. I almost took out Mewtwo with the one I used that wasn't even EV trained.  

I keep finding new things with the competitive battling scene, like infiltrator going through subs.
