Other Does anyone know where to find the code / formula / logic for random battles team generation?

I know it differs from meta game to meta game, but I'm curious to see if it's public. I know the data of each Pokémon's set is, but I'm specifically talking about the generation process of each team. From what I understand the creation of a team is not just pick 6 random mons from the pool and have fun. I know in Gen 7 specifically all randbats teams have 1 mega, (and i think 1 z-move iirc).

If anyone can point me in the right direction, or has any insight, or knows exactly how it works please comment I would appreciate it <3

The code for randbats team generation is in the PS Server repo, in data/random-battles/genX/teams.ts. So, for example for Gen 7: https://github.com/smogon/pokemon-showdown/blob/master/data/random-battles/gen7/teams.ts
The relevant entry point is RandomTeam().

For the less technical, everything is explained in this post in the Random Battles subforum in natural language, and you can ask any questions in that same subforum's "Simple Questions/Simple Answers" thread!

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much <3

Figuring out the logic behind random battles team generation is decoding a puzzle, really interesting but complex. As a student, it reminds me of education essay writing, where understanding structure and reasoning is key. Both require analyzing patterns and making sense of systems, whether it's in game code or academic content

It's funny you say that, it kind of reminded me of "The Password Game" that blew up 2 years ago. The start seems relatively straightforward, but whenever there's rules that make you go back and change your password. (In this case the knowledge.) It was important to just get it right, and make sure I wasn't missing one of those "rules" so to speak.

Luckily, it wasn't too difficult since the "rules" are laid out in the natural language post. Only thing I needed to do was cross reference them with actual code snippets.

Random battle team generation logic includes tier balancing and synergy checks. Forums or GitHub repositories may have code insights if you’re interested in the mechanics. I first discovered ukwritings.com through a Reddit recommendation. I gave UKwritings's paper writing service a try, and the result was impressive. The writer followed all my instructions, cited sources properly, and delivered the paper well before the due date. It was a smooth and professional experience from start to finish. I’ll definitely be back.
