>>30837925To beat it you need to know its there, with shit like ninjask its pretty fucking obvious, because that's all its good for.
With things like blaziken and scolipede, or quiver passers and smash passers in lower tiers, you simply don't actually know if its baton pass or they're going to go for a sweep of their own. There's no "oh, I mispredicted that, oh well time to try and recoup" because if you mispredict this you will lose flat out. This isn't even considering the full BP chains that were flat out undefeatable without some seriously whack shit that didn't even work half the time. (haze quagsire got stalled out or it was already too late and got stored power'd. Imprison BP masharna is much the same)
