Welcome to Week 11 of Random Battles Team Tour VI, where 8 teams will compete for the title of RBTT Champion as well as a custom avatar another prize TBD, because RBTT VI is now officially the largest tournament to ever take place on the Pokémon Showdown! subforum, and every team was granted avatars!

Tournament Rules
  • The tournament will consist of 8 teams battling it out in a round-robin format over 7 weeks; after that, the 4 best teams overall will move onto playoffs.
  • Each series will be played as best-of-3.
  • Matches are to be played on Pokémon Showdown.
  • Do not make baseless activity posts. After good-faith efforts to contact your opponent, report missed times & scheduling issues only.
  • Replays of the matches must be posted to verify a win; if replays are not posted, the match doesn't count.
General Tournament Rules
  • Scheduling: Players should contact their opponents on their Smogon profiles as soon as possible. It is strongly advised to schedule publicly, on Smogon, so hosts can review in the case of possible activity calls. If a player cannot reach their opponent, they should inform their managers quickly, so necessary substitutions can be made. If players have not made visible contact, managers and hosts may make substitutions.
  • Timer Clause and Disconnections: The timer is not required to be on during games; however, if the timer is on and a player runs out of time, their opponent wins the game via timeout. If a player disconnects and thus times out, this also counts as a loss for the player who disconnected.
  • Do not ghost. As of recent tournaments-forum rules, this also includes calcing for teammates that are playing, so please do not delegate doing calcs to your teammates when you play.
    What constitutes ghosting in a Random Battles game can be a particularly fine line. Before speaking in chat, always ask yourself: “Would my comment reveal information that hasn’t already been explicitly revealed in this battle?” Examples of ghosting include suggesting that an unexpectedly fast Pokemon must be holding a Choice Scarf, that a disguised Zoroark’s level proves it’s a Zoroark, etc.

Last week my predicts were 47% correct, so these probably mean absolutely nothing:

Team Hoopa (7) vs. Team Latias (5)
Gen 9 Random Battle: shiloh vs JJ09LIE -- shiloh beat Fant'sy in a pretty impressive set, so I'm putting chips in them moving forward
Gen 8 Random Battle: Zap vs Tuthur -- Zap gonna zap em
Gen 7 Random Battle: bobomania vs Aquaa -- Hype asf mu, I think bobo has an edge here. Aqua seemed to have a little rust last week.
Gen 6 Random Battle: Tomahawk vs Lady Writer -- Lady Writer played very impressively vs RSQ last week, I think the extra rands aptitude will serve them well in this mu
Gen 4 Random Battle: TheFranklin vs Trade -- Trade beat me sooooo
Gen 3 Random Battle: Rach vs Ereshkigal -- Rach si GOATed in most oldgens, gonna be hype to watch their first RBTT game in years
Gen 1 Random Battle: YBW vs Leru -- YBW stands for Yery Bood Wins
Gen 9 Hackmons Cup: Shadows4 vs sunsets -- I think sunsets has a little more ingenuity here
Gen 8 Battle Factory: temp vs MichaelderBeste2 -- temp has more experience and knowledge in bf than Michael and played great last week
Gen 8 BSS Factory: Emboar02 vs Dragonillis -- Dragonillis plays bssf in the most wildcard way ever based on last week, which can pay dividends in bssf sometimes
Gen 8 Random Doubles Battle: odr vs Eeveon7 -- Was very impressed by Eeveon last week
Gen 9 Doubles Hackmons Cup: Eeveeto vs DOOR MONEY -- I am unfamiliar with this person, exciting to see their first game of the season

Team Palkia (6) vs. Team Yveltal (6)
Gen 9 Random Battle: Separation vs pokeblade101 -- blade got slightly haxed last week so that might continue, great mu though and interesting to see blade move to gen 9 since he's also putting in good work on that ladder
Gen 8 Random Battle: BoRida vs Glop -- Glop is a great mons player but his all-rounder capabilities are really being tested here
Gen 7 Random Battle: MaswoodShaheb vs LordST -- MAS :] I believe that Mas will go unbeaten this year
Gen 6 Random Battle: Xceloh vs Buhrito -- Buhrito beat jacked so he will be able to muscle through Xceloh now
Gen 4 Random Battle: El químico del pueblucho vs Dj Breloominati♬ -- I still want to say Spitfire do well thie year but qumico is a gen 4 all star fr
Gen 3 Random Battle: Amaranth vs xGang -- Sheet god xGang beat Anna so he's begun his trajectory toward topping the sheet yet again
Gen 1 Random Battle: tylerfitz8 vs nicomirra123 -- tyler is one of the best in this format, sticking with the winning side
Gen 9 Hackmons Cup: Zephyr Dragon Lord vs platinumCheesecake -- See above :P Winning side FTW
Gen 8 Battle Factory: jonfilch vs kythr -- Absolute all star matchup, though both lost last week
Gen 8 BSS Factory: papiloco vs luisin -- luisin managed to beat STABLE so they have a nice shot here
Gen 8 Random Doubles Battle: Chris32156 vs Memoric -- I caught Chris' game and disagreed with some plays, but dubs is a very playstyle-based thing so it doesn't mean that much. Didn't catch Memoric's but they are a good dubs player.
Gen 9 Doubles Hackmons Cup: soTsoT vs Lucas2543 -- soTsoT is legitimately great at this format, as much as DHC is high variance they def have the edge imo

Team Chien-Pao (7) vs. Team Zarude (5)
Gen 9 Random Battle: Fant'sy Beast vs LoSconosciuto -- Losco won last week while Fant'sy didn't, but this is extremely hype
Gen 8 Random Battle: Piyush25 vs Sylveon used calm mind -- Vibes idk, Piyush seems a bit fresher here
Gen 7 Random Battle: GaryAjax vs Betathunder -- Beta is extremely formidable in this
Gen 6 Random Battle: Blui vs Micaiah -- And Blui is extremely formidable in this :eyes:
Gen 4 Random Battle: Jytcampbell vs SMB -- Another highlight match, just based on my memory of both players in past RBTT series I've played vs them
Gen 3 Random Battle: trace vs freezai -- I want a video
Gen 1 Random Battle: Panty&Stockings vs Mikon -- More experience in this format
Gen 9 Hackmons Cup: Nudepantsman vs MultiAmmiratore -- A little more creative, might see some cool gambits
Gen 8 Battle Factory: crying vs Wigglytuff -- Traditional strong BF player in RBTT, comeback arc after losing to temp feels correct
Gen 8 BSS Factory: DEG vs Mishimono -- More impressive series last week IMO, all I have to go off as I'm unfamiliar with both
Gen 8 Random Doubles Battle: jackofspadesman vs teresbahji -- Teres is good at dubs
Gen 9 Doubles Hackmons Cup: frostyicelad vs Ciro napoli -- Based on a sample size of one, I think Brits are good at DHC
