Answer 2

Speed Boost passer with Double Team and Swords Dance too.

Ninjask (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Speed Boost
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Substitute
- Swords Dance / Double Team
- Baton Pass
- Leech Life

Substitute is to take damage while setting up. Swords Dance is to set up for Physical attackers, and Double Team is if you're insane and you want to use a Ninjask in AG. Leech Life appreciates the Attack boosts, and will heal most of your HP. Steel Tera is a great Tera but absolutely nobody is going to use Tera on a Ninjask.
