Before I answer this, I just want ot point out that just becuase a Pokemon is NU doesn’t mean it isn’t used in higher tiers. Yes, it’s not great in those tiers (especially OU with Scolipede), but it is still useful for dedicated Baton Pass teams should Scolipede not be available. Also, you can still think that Ninjask should be higher, there’s nothing wrong with that. Smogon just doesn’t agree with you.
So why is Ninjask NU? Few reasons.
Probably cause it’s defenses suckEven though it’s good for baton passing, it will still be taken out before it has a major chance to set up.However…if it has a focus sash it can manage to take a hit, but priority can take this guy out quick
It has low defenses, mediocre attacking power, hardly any coverage moves and is very vunerable to Taunt, and can be taken out easily by any attack. But, yes, it is still great for Baton Passing-
