Answer 1

Here's my undying Baton Passer Ninjask for Sword and Shield

Ninjask @ Focus Sash
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 128 Def / 128 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Baton Pass
- Endure
- Protect

Strategy: Use Swords Dance as the lead move and stall for Speed Boosts by alternating between Protect and Endure (for status protection setup safeguard for status conditions...)

Double Battles ally:
Togekiss @ Iapapa Berry
Ability: Super Luck
EVs: 70 HP / 56 Def / 126 Def / 126 SpD
Bold Nature
- Dazzling Gleam / Draining Kiss
- Safeguard
- Reflect / Morning Sun
- Follow Me

Comment if you have any concerns!

“The accuracy of Endure decreases by 1⁄3 each time it is used consecutively after itself or Protect, Detect, Wide Guard, Quick Guard, Spiky Shield, King's Shield, or Baneful Bunker.”

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.
