Welcome to the third annual World Cup of Randbats! The field has been winnowed from 18 teams to 8, and it’s time for them to duke it out in the playoffs. Team China, who won WCOR '22 and made finals in '23, is nowhere to be seen this year, but Team Benelux is still in the mix and looking to establish a dynasty. Will they take the gold, or will one of the other returning playoff teams, Africa+Europe, India, US Northeast, or US South, carve their names into history? And after a commanding performance in the main season to claim first seed, Team Italy is eyeing their first shot at WCOR glory—but will fellow newcomers to the playoffs, Team France or Team Oceania (the latter hot off a tiebreaker to clinch their spot!) find the drive to take the crown?
Which team will earn the title of Random Battles World Champions? It’s time to find out!
Standard Tournament Procedures
Like all other tournaments on Smogon, the World Cup of Randbats will follow the general rules and guidelines. Please read them carefully. Also note that replays are required.
For a refresher on how substitutions and tiebreakers will function, see the Regular Season OP. Now, without further ado...

When spectating WCOR battles, do not ghost. Ask yourself, “Would my comment reveal information that hasn’t already been explicitly revealed in this battle?” Examples of ghosting in Randbats games include commenting on how an unexpectedly fast Pokemon must be holding a Choice Scarf, speculating how the match could be decided by a tera coinflip, etc.
