Done Introduce a Blitz Randbats Format

[nui]

I love the implementation of Blitz OU, it's fast, quick, and keeps everyone on their toes. I think having a ladder for Randbats would make this even better. With the randomize aspect involved and the challenge of figuring out your team and playing around your opponents team sounds like a heck of a good time.

MAKE RANDBATS BLITZ HAPPEN 2019

Support. What I would personally like to see is a way to add "Blitz" functionality to tours of any format, like how we have it for inversemod.

 

[Zarel]

fart That's already possible, the rule is called "Blitz".

Says it doesn't exist.

This should now work

Randblitz can finally weed out the people who do 18 battles at a time :^

 

[Jerry the great]

I support this, I'd like, no, love to see it happen.

I had a grand old time in a recent roomtour in Cosmopolitan that featured a Blitz Inverse ruleset applied to rands. The community love for this format is quite real.

Blitz Random Battles will be coming, pending fixes to autostarting the timer and changes to how unranked battles work (having ranked, unranked and blitz random battte ladders is considered to be untenable).

 

[Jerry the great]

If this successfully gets implemented I will be so happy about it

Can you go further into detail about this? Idt there's a problem with having all 3 seeing how generally popular randbats are.

The pull request thread on the gihub has the whole conversation: https://github.com/Zarel/Pokemon-Showdown/pull/5623

honestly, while I love the idea, why not just add a "/offer blitz" function? that lets both players offer/accept to start a blitz.
Doubtful that it'd see a LOT of utility but when I'm playing monorand, rand, or AG I know I'd always click accept

Well, I love the idea of blitz randbats either way

Can we also include Mono Randbats? Please don't exclude us.

No. Monotype Random Battle has a small fraction of amount of games Random Battle (or even OU) has. It does not warrant an additional ladder.

Piggybacking off of this, sorry if I’m out of the loop, but are there any plans to make blitz challengable for non-standard blitz formats? Like would it be possible for me to challenge a friend to gen7uublitz, for example? Thanks so much!

Make a groupchat and organize a private single elimination tournament (guide). You can add the blitz rule to it.

This exists now! (thank Annika)
