RBY RandBats
As we move into 2023, it's time for a new Random Battles thread to help drive discussion! This is a place to discuss RandBats, share resources and VRs, discuss strategy, post tournament signups/stats/replays, and so on. I will also be adding resources and changes made to Rands below this intro. Feel free to message me to add anything helpful you make!
Resources:
Gen 1 RandBats Moveset Calc (appears to currently be broken unfortunately)
Showdown Gen 1 Rands Calc
Speed Tiers - paralyzed Speed listed in parentheses, real Speed listed outside parentheses. Text version is organized by paralyzed Speed for readability, image versions by real Speed.
Useful Notes on Teams, Movesets, etc.

Useful Notes on Teams, Movesets, etc.
- A team cannot have more than two Pokemon weak to any of the following types: Ground, Psychic, Electric, Water, Ice, Fire. So for example, a team with a Charmander and a Vulpix could not have any more Pokemon weak to Ground or Water on it, while a team with a Beedrill and a Jynx could not have any more Fire-weak Pokemon on it, and could only have one more Psychic-weak Pokemon.
- This section will be updated with any more useful tricks or team generation restrictions shared by players.
