Baton Pass (Japanese: バトンタッチ Baton Touch) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation II.

Contents

Effect

Baton Pass switches out the user, passing all temporary stat increases and decreases on to the Pokémon that replaces it in battle. Substitutes, volatile and non-volatile battle status ailments such as Confusion, Aqua Ring, Ingrain, and the effects of other moves that prevent ordinary switching (e.g., Mean Look) can also be passed.

No matter what Poké Ball the user was captured in, the animation will always display a normal Poké Ball.
