So I put together a Baton Pass team. This is basically my first competetive team that I actually thought about, so I have no idea if it's decent/bad/good. That's why I'm putting it up. So Poof.
Help, or anything else would be appreciated.

And there's that.
 
Maybe change smeargles Ingrain to Belly drum after a sub :) works nicely.
 
..or you know, DON'T DO THAT.
Smeargle is the only Pokémon that gets Ingrain + Baton Pass, which prevents you being phazed.

Speed passers are good to start with, because it ensures you get fast straight away. Perhaps Zapdos?
 
Instead of taunt on gliscor give it aincent power so you can do a little damage at least and it still has a chance of raising all of your stats

Taunt is useful to stop other Pokémon from Taunting you though, which can be devastating for a Baton Pass team.
 
It very much is devastating. I got taunted straight away my first match with this team. I also Wanted to get a Zapdos, but I'm not sure where I'll get that in-game. I'm also hoping that I can manage to use Encore instead on their stat-raising moves. Then I get free set-ups myself.

Oh, and I don't think that it's a very good idea (At all) to get rid of Ingrain. Whirlwind=Death.

if you have wi-fi you can use this very forum to try to get a good natured one. Try the trade coordination thread
 
That's my only problem. I don't have WiFi. Getting a Zapdos with decent IV's is going to be a problem. Otherwise I'd do quite a bit of trading, actually.

I don't know about yours, but many local libraries, Starbucks, etc. have WiFi connections.

In any case, I don't especially like the EV spread on Leafeon. Why so bulky? Wouldn't a speedier set be preferable?
