How does the tour work?
It’s simple:
1. Contact your opponent on their Smogon wall and decide on a time to battle.
2. Battle each other in the format “[Gen 7] Chimera 1v1 Random Battle”. This format can be found under 'Ladder Spotlight', at the top of the second column. Alternatively, use /challenge gen7 Chimera1v1 random battle
3. The first player to 3 games wins advances to the next round (4 games for Quarterfinals onward)
Note that this tournament will end before the next Randbats Spotlight Ladder commences, i.e., before September 2026. This will determine the pace of the tournament.
Please note:
