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
- 84 EVs in all stats, 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. However, at least 2 Pokemon must be a Head with Tandems.
- Team Preview
- 2 Pokemon are chosen from each of the Heads' pool of Tandems, creating a team of 7-9 Pokemon
- 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 OR if another Head on the team is part of another Head's Tandem set. Priority is team order.
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:
