>>54025073Reason why Baton Pass was used without boosting moves 9/10 times was slow-pass. It was to assure that whatever you switch into is doing is safely.
They actually replicated it in LGPE and SwSh with new effect for Teleport, but in ScaVio it's signature move of Ralts line and both are too frail to use it effectively.
Slowking got move allowing it to slow-pass that also summons snow, which is pretty decent, considering that you don't want your frail ice-types to switch on hit and snow makes them significantly less frail.
