Randbats Spotlight Ladder!
The Randbats Spotlight Ladder's purpose is simple: to give formats that would not otherwise have a chance to be played on a wider scale. Each other month, four options will be given, and the winner after a week of voting will have its own ladder for a period of two months!
As usual, this Randbats Spotlight will feature a SMOGON TOURNAMENT related to it. More details about this tournament are included in this thread, so keep reading!
YOU MAY VOTE FOR MULTIPLE FORMATS!
What are all these formats and mods?
Gen 7 with powerful abilities: Here in the randbats community we like to create extreme versions of some standard formats from time to time, and Gen 7 with powerful abilities is the latest example of that. In this variant of Sun and Moon, the pokemon will get only strong abilities, randomly selected from a restricted pool created by us. If you have ever dreamed of getting Huge Power Bibarel or Tinted Lens Sunflora and plow through the competition, this might be the perfect Spotlight for you!
Gen 9 Baby CAP Random Battle: Baby Rands gave us the possibility to play with countless cute little pokemon and watch them battle it out in gruesome fights. Since we all need more cuteness in our life, a good way to achieve so is to invite CAP pokemon to the fray once again! From the sandy Dorsoil to the mysterious Nohface, passing for the stinky Miasmite and the adorable Ababo, we are sure everyone will find a new trusty CAPanion to climb on the ladder
Gen 1 Random Battle with Tradebacks: Never heard of "tradebacks" before? This mod allows pokemon to have moves they would normally learn in gen 2. For instance, you could now have Alakazam with the elemental punches or Lovely Kiss Nidoking!
Gen 9 Alphabet Cup Random Battle: With Alphabet Cup, your pokemon will have the possibility to use any move that shares the same first letter as their name or a previous evolution's name. Quiver Dance Quagsire and Population Bomb Polteageist are now a thing, along with many more gamebreaking combinations!
!IMPORTANT! Tournament information
This month's Randbats Spotlight is going to include a SMOGON TOURNAMENT. The format of this tournament will be the format chosen as the Randbats Spotlight. The length of this tournament will be 2 months, which will determine the pace of the tournament. The prize of the tournament will be 1 month of RPW (Room Prize Winner) and the possibility to pick a format for the next Randbats Spotlight poll!
