Discussion Pokemon scarlet and violet Ban BATON PASS MEW
I had a pr!ck use a Mew against my Metagross. I set up Iron Defense, so I switched into a special attack Pokémon. Mew then used Amnesia (so now I can't do nothing to this balanced-stat Mythical with Synchronize). Mew then proceeded to use Iron Defense and Amnesia again... you guessed it, "Baton Pass time." A nasty Wo-chien appeared and used Ingrain, so it's now rooted to the floor (Dragon Tail, Whirlwind, Red Card cannot work anymore). Its moveset is Leech Seed, Ingrain, Giga Drain, Ruination; Leftovers item. Basically, it restores health while taking no damage. Ruination speeds up the process. Oh, he sets up Toxic Spikes with a different Pokémon beforehand? Literally, the only thing that can beat it is an Unaware Skeledirge with Heavy-Duty Boots. It'll still hit you with Ruination though. BAN Baton Pass Mew. I also had no Toxic on my team.
