A classic staple in NU returns to the SWSH metagame for the third time...

In teambats, participants are separated into, well, teams, and go head-to-head under specific circumstances. The teams are given time to build (would probably be around 20-30 mins, but that can change given the restrictions). Teams are encouraged to cooperate within their teams, and can even cooperate in battle, a la Yoshi. Teambats should be played in a Bo1 format
Who can host? Anyone can host a teambat, just as long as they get permission from a driver or higher! (%, @, #)
Couple of ground rules for this-
These rules are general guidelines, in the event of a failure to comply or have repeated offenses, you could face a suspension / ban from teambats :P
Current themes-
Shoutouts to quziel and Disjunction for the thread format :) Any theme ideas / suggestions can be PM'd to me on Discord (Aawin#9927), or on PS!

Couple of ground rules for this-
- Stay within your own chat bubble
- No TMZ type shit (leaking)
- Don't be a douche to the other players, have respect and courtesy before, after, and during a teambat
- Follow the rules of the teambat for the specific theme / week
- Don't take this too seriously, issa game, we're all here to have a fun time
These rules are general guidelines, in the event of a failure to comply or have repeated offenses, you could face a suspension / ban from teambats :P
Current themes-
Liar's Rule: You must announce your move before every turn (alternating between announcing first and second), however you get 3 lies (credit to alamaster)
Pick: Every turn you must !pick between switching out and attacking (you can choose what to go out to, and what attack to use)
Past Gens: SM/ORAS/BW
Always hittin: No moves with less than 100% accuracy
Lucky and Bad: Only moves with less than 100% accuracy moves, no healing
Color-Blind: You can only use mons of one specific color (use !pick)
Not Fully Evolved: the teams are given a random LC/NFE mon, and have to build with it, one reroll allowed per team if requested
Random OM battles (Inverse, Stabmons, etc.)
EVless: Each team gets 1536 (256*6) evs to spend, good luck
Fuck STAB: self explanatory, no STAB moves allowed
Random bad RU / NUBL mons
16 moves per team
Tortoise vs Hare: one team only gets mons over 75 speed, one team only gets mons below 75 speed.
'Join the ranks': Team must consist of 6 different ranks, S-ranks excluded. So a team should like an A+ mon, an A mon, an A- mon, a B+ mon, a B mon and a B- mon. Teams can use C-ranked mons too as long as each mon is ranked differently.
Ballin on a Budget (FKA Money Mitch): A certain amount of money is given to teams, and the VR determines their price (S-ranks being the most expensive, C- being least expensive)
Letter Something Idk: Pokemon on the team must have the first letter of the team members, ex: team of Aawin, Pokeslice, Corthius must have one pokemon that starts with A, one with P, and another with C (credits to Corthius)
5MS- 2 Pokemon on each team can have a 5th moveslot
