crbox Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Hi, I was told that Focus Energy was passable by Baton Pass in PvP, but I was disappointed to see that my Umbreon (that I just bought for 800k for that purpose...) could not pass Focus Energy to my Sniper Kingdra. Is this intended or a bug? Any update? No one seems to be aware. Any mods can clarify? Thank you :) crBox ~ Link to comment

Thank you :) crBox ~ Hello! by all means I’m not a expert on this topic, but from my understanding baton pass got “nerfed” as they would say. - Don't count my word on this, but pretty sure baton pass doesn’t work for pvp.

crbox Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 I did some reading and apparently they nerfed the crit ratio. So perhaps it's not Baton Pass but just crit itself? Anyways my Kingdra just did two hits in a row without critting, after getting baton passed Focus Enerby... But some games it will crit 5x in a row. Both time after being Baton Passed. It seems like it doesn't always work. Any mod will take a look.? Link to comment

So @crbox either a) You are not holding a crit-boosting item, or b) Latest update messed it up. Link to comment
Umbramol Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I had tested it and it worked before, with scope lense it should be 100% ratio iirc.. baton pass did pass it.. Link to comment
CaptnBaklava Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Played against it yesterday was 100% crit Link to comment
LifeStyleNORE Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Focus Energy raises 2 crit stages which means you have a 50% chance of causing a crit. Holding Scope Lens adds another stage to that which makes it 100% chance. Spaintakula 1 Link to comment
Spaintakula Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I'm also not an expert, but why the fuck would you use focus energy umbreon in pvp? Link to comment

Because Baton Pass is now unbanned but suffered a big nerf to it. However it still serves some purpose such as this: 13 hours ago, crbox said: pass Focus Energy to my Sniper Kingdra. 8 hours ago, crbox said: Anyways my Kingdra just did two hits in a row without critting, after getting baton passed Focus Enerby... But some games it will crit 5x in a row. Both time after being Baton Passed. It seems like it doesn't always work. Your Kingdra is probably not holding Scope Lens. Spaintakula 1 Link to comment
TohnR Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 From what the patch said baton pass shouldn't be passing any stat changes. If this works, LF fix. Or is critrate not considered a stat change ? Link to comment
LifeStyleNORE Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I think it would be nice to have a list of the things that Baton Pass can still do. For starters, I hope it doesn't work with Mean Look/Block (which was a Gen5 change). People are saying it works with crit rate, personally I haven't tested it so I'm just going off by what other people say. Might have been an oversight but who knows, maybe their intention was to just get rid of Attack/Defense/Special Attack/Special Defense/Speed changes. Link to comment
