Random Battle Lead
Welcome to Week 5 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.

I was writing predictions and then the page automatically refreshed causing me to lose all progress.

Arcanine (4) vs Xerneas (8)
TI vs LordST - The sample team will rise
sigmatecture vs GXE - I would bold against sigmatecture if I didn't know who he is, but since I do, I will still bold against him
Pikmin vs London13 - London is 1-3, he reached perfection, why even play?
POAT vs Rach - POAT said in chat he would stay undefeated, my naive self believe that
Maswood vs Petros - Bolding anyone is a pain, but gotta do what I must
Anna vs raf - RBTT has been raf so far, but not for Anna
Sylv vs martha - hoping for luck to help you win. You never change. Gg. You won’t survive me. run all you want. I always win vs you. You can’t beat me. I’m superior
Shadows vs yonmd - Imagine putting yonmd on hc
Jonah vs TDF - TDF is better probably
teres vs Legendary - WOAH!! GOLDEN LEGENDARY!!
c.kil vs embo - ckil hasn't shown the ability to get team prediction right, which is like 96,69% of BSSF
RSB vs Chiori - The newest randbat driver plays SSB quite a lot

Yveltal (6) vs Kyogre (6)
Blade vs Gary - I've seen blade play gen 8 more
MJ vs chemcoop - chemcoop has shown more so far
Michael vs Staxi - He can call hax into existence. What can this man not do?
Devin vs AJ - I haven't seen Devin so gotta go with aj
SMB vs bugzi - Just a hunch
Dragon vs Andy - Andy is more like an OM player I think
Gorex vs Raj - coinflip
Lucas vs TCOT - Team RNG Experience will come in handy
fitzy vs Memoric - fitzy has better doubles fundamentals
Ham vs TJ - Nobody beats forsh and gets away unscathed
85% vs Z Strats - Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z
Damm vs Rogi - Damm made a tier list so he must have some experiences

Marshadow (5) vs Hoopa (7)
swift mons vs P&S - P&S is looking quite good
Cheese vs Zap - Say cheese
MG vs Betahunder - Beta has had the better run so far, but I put hope in MG
Trade vs TheFranklin - RBTT has been rough for Trade, arce9 will win after going chomper here
neycwang vs Celever - Berry isn't the most common item in gen 4 and will catch ney off guard
velvet vs Glop - velvet messed up gen 3 sleep mechanics last time I played against her and Glop is goat
jasprose vs PA - Poison is a good type to get in mono
Nudepantsman vs platty - plat will get a whole year of luck after facing ZDL
Toby vs snorlax - Just a feeling
King Leo V vs temp - BF is BF and he is King Leo V
Maki vs soTsoT - Probably
Lamp vs Bill - lamp plays SSB more, whatever, this is a meme anyway

Lugia (0) vs Galarian Zapdos (12)
What type is Zapdos, both Kanto and Galar? Flying. What does flying type remind you of? The sky. And do you know Gary Neville is a commentator for Sky Sports? And Gary Neville was born on the 18th of February, so that's 18-2. If you decipher the number 18-2 to letters, it's R and B.
Who managed Raikou last year? It's lvl100Blaziken (ba-dum-tss) and ODR. Last year is 2020, so if we deciper 20 20 to letters, it's T and T. Now you see what I'm getting at. Combining everything, we have RBTT, and this is undeniable proof that Zapdos-Galar has been destined to takeover RBTT by storm from the start. All other teams only serve as side characters to glorify the team's victory.
Now, the bingo, I don't know if I missed anything

So the Upper right - lower left diagonal is filled. Edit: Updated the bingo
