If Blaziken is fully dedicated to Baton Passing, then Defenses should be raised with small investment in Attack. The item should be a Focus Sash so Blaziken can endure a one-hit KO.

Ninjask's Baton Passing is very similar to Blaziken. It is another popular choice since Speed Boost isn't the most common ability. It's possible to build Ninjask up as a physical sweeper, but Baton Passing is its best game. Its nature should be Impish, and EVs should raise HP and Defense, and a little bit in Speed. . Since Ninjask has weak defenses, it's better to raise on stat then evenly on both. The item has to be Focus Sash.
