Baton Pass is a Normal-type move with no power or accuracy rating because it does not inflict damage. Instead, Baton Pass allows the user to switch out of battle and transfer all its current stat changes, such as increases or decreases in Attack, Defense, Speed, etc., to the Pokémon that is switched in. This strategic move is highly valued in competitive play for teams that focus on setting up and sweeping, allowing one Pokémon to benefit from the stat boosts gained by another. However, players must be cautious as it also passes on any negative status effects the user might have.
