Here's the deal: some guys I know have been doing random draws of the original 150 pokemon and battling with a team of 6. I think they've been allowing one "skip" if they pull something they don't want.
As you can imagine this has lead to some wildly imbalanced matches. One guy ended up with 5 OU-tier pokemon and another guy had all pre-evolutions.
They've invited me to join the next "tournament", but I want to see if I can improve their process a bit to make it more "fair". Here's what I'm thinking.
1. No EV training or breeding for IVs / hidden powers (actually, no breeding at all probably makes this the easiest)
2. Mewtwo banned (should I consider banning anything else? Snorlax maybe?)
3. Stratify the pokemon drawing somehow (this is where I need help)
4. Any other ideas you might have to make this a bit more fair
Clearly this is a little different than a normal "competitive" discussion, but I thought you guys might have some ideas. Specifically, how might I break the pokemon up in to different pools so that there's less variance between the strength of any given team?
Any other thoughts are appreciated!
