Back when I started battling, I used a basic OU team, but got bored of it and wanted to try something weird. So, I created a Baton Pass team. I found that it either 6-0'd or was 6-0'd...and I was 6-0'd much more often.

Gliscor is my lead. I almost always Rock Polish first turn, which lets me Taunt most things when needed and Baton Pass with more Attack or Speed.
Smeargle likes Speed boosts, and uses them to set up Ingrain after using Spore on something.
Vaporeon handles hits well, and sets up Acid Armor almost all of the time. I used to use Wish instead of Aqua Ring, but found that it didn't help much against something using a Special attack.
Lickilicky is an addition I recently made and have tested very little. The idea is to have boosts in Attack and Defense, and then be able to set up Amnesia, and possibly Block something useless.
Scizor is my secondary Swords Dance passer, seeing as it is very important to get Attack boosts. It handles hits well, and can attack when needed.
Bibarel is my main receiver, sweeping through whole teams when able to. He only needs 3 boosts in something to reach very high levels.

Threat list:
Heatran: Overheat beats everything on this team except maybe Vaporeon. Choice Scarf lets it go in and break a chain.
Aerodactyl: It Taunts faster than Gliscor, forcing me into a switch, and then uses Stealth Rock and sometimes Toxic, messing me up.
Infernape: Outspeeds Smeargle sometimes, doesn't need to when something's asleep already, and Close Combats it. It can also put a major dent in Vaporeon with a Choice Band.
Azelf: Can't tell if it will set up Stealth Rock or if it will attack and defeat Gliscor. Can put a dent in most of the team's members.
There are few specific Pokémon that are a threat to this team. Often it's simply a surprise status move or something else that sets up faster that defeats me.

Comments would be greatly appreciated.

Banned deucer.
3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.
Your descriptions are lacking, which means you are violating the above quoted RMT rule. If you wish to remedy this problem, explain your reasoning behind each Pokemon and why they work on your team more thoroughly. Try to aim for 3-4 sentences with your descriptions. I recommend lurking through the RMT Archive in order to see examples of what we're looking for in an RMT!

If you improve your explanations for your Pokémon, please private message me indicating that you've done so by showing me your new descriptions. Once you've done that, I will re-open this thread. Thanks.
