Random Battle Lead
Welcome to Week 2 of the Random Battles Team Tour, where 8 teams will compete for the title of RBTT Champion as well as a custom avatar!

Tournament Rules
  • The tournament will consist of 8 teams battling it out in a Round Robin format over seven weeks; after that, the four best teams overall will move onto playoffs.
  • Each series will be played as a Best of 3.
  • Matches are to be played on Pokémon Showdown.
  • Do not make baseless activity posts, get in contact with your opponent and 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: Attempt to contact your opponent by posting on their smogon profile as soon as possible. It is strongly advised to schedule publicly there on Smogon so the host can make any necessary activity calls. If you cannot get in contact with your opponent, inform the host in this thread so we can make any necessary substitution. If you have made no visible contact, the host may substitute you out for another player.
  • 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.
  • Don't ghost.

peapod predicts:

Arcanine (12) vs Galarian Zapdos (0)
lmaoo good luck homies, I'll just drop Aura's art:
gzap.png


Hoopa (7) vs Lugia (5)
Gen 8 Random Battle: Panty&Stockings vs cloudiness
Another tough MU for P&S, Aqua is in fine form right now — 40/60
Gen 8 Random Battle: Zap vs Delta 2777
Surprised Delta didn't go gen 8 rands last week, expect him to pop off. The monotype leader is also excellent but I think Delta has been on ladder more recently — 40/60
Gen 7 Random Battle: Betathunder vs Algeria
Betathunder was solid last week.
Gen 5 Random Battle: TheFranklin vs Roseybear
Two goats, going with former teammate arce9
Gen 4 Random Battle: Celever vs Feliburn
Strong win last week by Celever; Feliburn is pretty good across the board — 60/40
Gen 3 Random Battle: Glop vs Piapia
Glop's really good; have you watched his stream?
Gen 8 Monotype Random Battle: PA vs Havens
Both solid tour players; have seen PA do very well in mono specifically so going with the former Skymin.
Gen 8 Hackmons Cup: platinumCheesecake vs Zephyr Dragon Lord
Ah, this is tough, will bold Platty until proven otherwise
Gen 8 Random Doubles Battle: snorlax142857 vs Ninjadog
Ninjadog is in better form, bet he will win if the timer doesn't run out
Gen 7 Battle Factory: temp vs trace
Experienced players, bolding temp given last week's result but looking to see what trace can pull out
EDIT: trace shadow balled on the mmaw sucker punch — goat
Gen 7 BSS Factory: soTsoT vs a fruitshop owner
May come down to matchup — 45/55
Gen 2 Random Battle: Quoise vs Ereshkigal
Seen more from Quoise.

Kyogre (7) vs Marshadow (5)
Gen 8 Random Battle: chemcoop vs swift mons
swift mons won me over with his great mentality last week; expecting this to come down to matchup — 50/50
Gen 8 Random Battle: odr vs Cheese5555
odr is one of the best rands players in addition to RU — 70/30
Gen 7 Random Battle: GaryAjax vs MGenius
MG seems ready to ball out, 40/60
Gen 5 Random Battle: ajhockeystar vs neycwang
Totally not biased, ney is solid so long as luck doesn't disfavor him — 40/60
Gen 4 Random Battle: bugzinator vs Trade
It's still possible for bugzin8-1or to happen; his run in rbtt3 was no fluke — 70/30
Gen 3 Random Battle: Roginald vs Abyssal Ruins
Rogi likely has more rands experience — 65/35
Gen 8 Monotype Random Battle: Andyboy vs jasprose
curious to see if Andyboy acclimates to monorands this week — 40/60
Gen 8 Hackmons Cup: TheCoastsOfToast vs Nudepantsman
I really really like TCOT's avatar
Gen 8 Random Doubles Battle: Memoric vs HeroicTobias
Gen 7 Battle Factory: TJ vs King Leo V
Spicy matchup; going with the King — 45/55
Gen 7 BSS Factory: Z Strats vs Maki
Both had convincing wins last week. 50/50
Gen 2 Random Battle: TacticalFacepalms vs 6Roggenrolas
Rooting for Casual in this upcoming war of attrition

Xerneas (6) vs Yveltal (6)
Gen 8 Random Battle: 100%GXE vs gorex
Big foonguz about to go hard in the paint
Gen 8 Random Battle: Legendary vs pokeblade101
One of the highlights to watch this week — 45/55 blade
Gen 7 Random Battle: LordST vs MJ
LordST is in good form — 60/40
Gen 5 Random Battle: Rach vs El químico del pueblucho
Damm u captcha has been on a tear, but Rach is no pushover
Gen 4 Random Battle: Jacked vs SMB
Although secretly Jacked wants to lose so he can get more pushups in — 60/40
Gen 3 Random Battle: martha vs Mannat
Going with the former RO on this
Gen 8 Monotype Random Battle: Peary vs adjustments
Peary is new to this slot in this year's iteration
Gen 8 Hackmons Cup: dogknees vs Lucas2543
Giving lucas 25/43 odds in favor
Gen 8 Random Doubles Battle: DarkFlames64 vs fitzy72
TDF has been good at Doubles — 55/45
Gen 7 Battle Factory: London13 vs Hamhamhamhamham
hamx5 had some unfortunate mus last week, while London looked strong — 45/55 ham
Gen 7 BSS Factory: Yes or no my dude vs Dragonillis
Can't say no to my dude.
Gen 2 Random Battle: MultiAmmiratore vs MichaelderBeste2
Surprised Michael is playing Gen 2; he's a complete player in any rands format as well as tiers, while Chiori is strong in OM and rands. A surprising matchup, but a welcome one — 40/60 to wazowski
Yveltal is more viable than Xern in Ubers

Dropping some more Tactical Predicts for this week:


Arcanine (7.5) vs Galarian Zapdos (4.5)
Gen 8 Random Battle: The Immortal vs BoRida (Mans got a YT channel)
Gen 8 Random Battle: teresbahji vs Prosaic (As wiggly said this guy fucks up the randbats room regularly)
Gen 7 Random Battle: PikminWarrior vs apologies (Pikmin's more of a randbats reg)
Gen 5 Random Battle: PrinceOfAllTacos vs Teclis (PrincessOfAllTacos also contesting me for worst name of the tour)
Gen 4 Random Battle: MaswoodShaheb vs Jytcampbell (I remember jyt had a decent performance in gen 4 last year)
Gen 3 Random Battle: RustySheriffBadge vs xGang (The gang doesn't lose)
Gen 8 Monotype Random Battle: Sylveon used calm mind vs maroon (Sylveon used rig matchups and it's super effective)
Gen 8 Hackmons Cup: Shadowss4 vs Pirate Princess (Ghost types are pretty good in HC considering there's an abundance of normal moves)
Gen 8 Random Doubles Battle: JonahRamone vs LoSconosciuto (Despite losing last week I still think Jonah's good enough at dubs to clutch up here)
Gen 7 Battle Factory: sigmatecture vs ORAS-Mega (I want peapod to win here but Fajitas is disgustingly good at BF)
Gen 7 BSS Factory: c.kilgannon vs Lambovino (Going with the name I've seen of more, also goated GC RO)
Gen 2 Random Battle: HeadsILoseTailsYouWin vs mc56556 (I think .56556 is greater than .5, but someone double check my maths)

Hoopa (6) vs Lugia (6)
Gen 8 Random Battle: Panty&Stockings vs cloudiness (Happened already)
Gen 8 Random Battle: Zap vs Delta 2777 (Greek letters so I don't fail math class)
Gen 7 Random Battle: Betathunder vs Algeria (Greek letters so I don't fail math class part 2)
Gen 5 Random Battle: TheFranklin vs Roseybear (Arce still hasn't retired from his tournament days, gonna be a close one tho)
Gen 4 Random Battle: Celever vs Feliburn (That sunflora play from last week is good enough to warrant predicting celly here)
Gen 3 Random Battle: Glop vs Piapia (Glop flex player OP)
Gen 8 Monotype Random Battle: PA vs Havens (Mans really rolled water vs rock twice last week that's some next level skill)
Gen 8 Hackmons Cup: platinumCheesecake vs Zephyr Dragon Lord (Happened already)
Gen 8 Random Doubles Battle: snorlax142857 vs Ninjadog (Swords dance milotic beats snorlax in a 1v1)
Gen 7 Battle Factory: temp vs trace (Happened already)
Gen 7 BSS Factory: soTsoT vs a fruitshop owner (I'm not sure a soT is a type of fruit, so he won't get owned?)
Gen 2 Random Battle: Quoise vs Ereshkigal (Going with the cooler sounding name)

Xerneas (5.5) vs Yveltal (6.5)
Gen 8 Random Battle: 100%GXE vs gorex (Mans has 100% GXE its a hard gg go next)
Gen 8 Random Battle: Legendary vs pokeblade101 (I feel like there's some good upset potential here considering legendary had a good record last year)
Gen 7 Random Battle: LordST vs MJ (Happened already)
Gen 5 Random Battle: Rach vs El químico del pueblucho (Captcha is also one of those people who fucks up the randbats room regularly)
Gen 4 Random Battle: Jacked vs SMB (After doing 140 pushups Jacked is ready to flex on SMB)
Gen 3 Random Battle: martha vs Mannat (going with the former RO here)
Gen 8 Monotype Random Battle: Peary vs adjustments (Man's gonna adjust the matchup to his favor)
Gen 8 Hackmons Cup: dogknees vs Lucas2543 (Luckas numerals always wins the RNG game)
Gen 8 Random Doubles Battle: DarkFlames64 vs fitzy72 (By the power of maths 64 [2^6] has a larger power of 2 than 72 [2^3 * 3^2], and doubles is 2 pokemon from each side)
Gen 7 Battle Factory: London13 vs Hamhamhamhamham (London x 13 cannot consume ham x 5)
Gen 7 BSS Factory: Yes or no my dude vs Dragonillis (Dragons in BSS are really good)
Gen 2 Random Battle: MultiAmmiratore vs MichaelderBeste2 (I looked this guy up and he has a 93.7% GXE in gen 2, how anyone has the patience for that shit I don't know)

Worst name of the tour aboutta get a namechange soon.
