What’s the point of having Baton Pass on cleric Pokémon if they don’t know any move that boosts stats? Seems like a waste of a slot to me.

usually people use them as a pivot where one pokemon boosts their stats a bunch, baton pass to the "cleric", have them wish, pass back to the stat booster, and keep them healthy while they get their stats up until they're ready to be sent to the sweeper

You mean the stat boosted pokemon doesn’t retain its stat boosts when it switches out and gets sent back in later?

Same reason people use Teleport now, is like switching but you will do it after your opponent make a move, so you can switch in a frail mons or one with low health without taking damage.

it's called drypassing and no one does it anymore since teleport exists

In that instance, it's basically discount U-turn or Teleport.

Only if it doesn't know U-Turn, Volt Switch, Teleport, or now Flip Turn.
It's an extremely obscure reason, and I can't think of any mon where you'd want to do it, but if that hypothetical scenario were to be real, then it would make sense to run Baton Pass with no boosting moves.
