Baton Pass causes the user to switch out for another Pokémon, passing any stat changes to the Pokémon that switches in. These effects are passed:
When a Pokémon is holding Normalium Z and uses its Z-Power, Baton Pass turns into Z-Baton Pass and eliminates any stat drops applied to the user, in addition to its usual effect as above.
