Random TandemBattle Format
- In this metagame, each team is made up of 3 Heads and 6 Tandems.
- Heads are the Pokemon selected in the builder; they have fully customizable moves, item, abilities, EVs, etc.
- Tandems are determined by the Heads on the team, each Head having 4 Pokemon in their tandem pool.
- Tandems have a couple properties different from Random Battle sets:
- Always Lvl 100, always shiny
- No EVs, max IVs, Neutral Nature
- Tandems have a couple properties different from Random Battle sets:
- Teambuilding
- Teams consist of maximum 3 Pokemon
- You may choose a Pokemon that does not have any tandems, but this will cause you to have less than 9 Pokemon on Team Preview.
- Team Preview
- 2 Pokemon are chosen from each of the 3 Heads' pool of Tandems, creating a team of 9
- Each player selects 6 Pokemon and the battle proceeds as normal from there
- Standard Gen 9 OU Mechanics, Bans, and Battle Clauses
- A Head is prevented from rolling a Tandem if the Head(s) previous to it already rolled that Pokemon. Priority is team order. This means you could select 2 of the same Pokemon on Team Preview, but you can tell them apart by shininess.
Let's say 3 Pokemon had these pools:
I would build a team with just the three heads:
When loading into battle, 2 Pokemon from each pools are randomly chosen:

These 6 Pokemon, along with my three heads, are shown on team preview:
