Hello and welcome to the next...
Randbats Spotlight Ladder!
The Randbats Spotlight Ladder's purpose is simple: to give formats that would not otherwise have one a chance to be played on a wider scale. Each other month, four options will be given, and the winner after a week of voting will have its own ladder for a period of two months!
Instead of the usual ladder contest that has been present in the past Randbats Spotlights, this edition will feature a SMOGON TOURNAMENT related to it. More details about this tournament are included in this thread, so keep reading!
As a bonus, last cycle's spotlight, Broken Cup, will remain a challengeable format after its Spotlight ends! Thank you, everyone, for showing your love for Broken Cup. Now we have it forever!
YOU MAY VOTE FOR MULTIPLE FORMATS!
What is Mix and Mega Cup?
Mix-and-Mega Cup is [Gen 9] Challenge Cup 6v6 at base - every Pokemon in the game's code will be in the format, and they'll all get random legal movesets, abilities, and EVs/IVs. However, we also incorporate the rules of the Mix and Mega OM! Every Pokemon will run a completely random Mega Stone (or Red/Blue Orb), and they will all be able to Mega Evolve (or Primal-ify) to gain the benefits of that Mega Evolution! For example, a Steenee with Altarianite would gain Pixilate, an additional Fairy typing, 40 base Attack, 20 base Defense, and 40 base Special Attack! You can see any Mix-and-Mega combination's output with the command "/mnm pokemonname @ megastonename" Keep in mind, beacuse it's Mix and Mega, that means Tera won't exist!
What are all these mods?
Shared Power + Pokebilities: All Pokemon will have all of their abilities at the same time. In addition, all of those abilities will remain permanently active for the entire team as soon as the Pokemon is sent out! It's chaotic, but what's Randbats without a little chaos? Also, uh, fair warning: we can't ban Shedinja from this.
Mayhem: It's largely what it says on the tin. It's got Team Preview, alongside the rulesets of Camomons (Pokemon get their typing from their first two moves), Shared Power (Abilities remain active for the entire team after a Pokemon is sent out), Scalemons (all Pokemon will be "scaled" to be as close to 600 BST as possible), and Inverse (type effectiveness is inverted; weaknesses become resistances, and resistances and immunities become weaknesses).
!IMPORTANT! Tournament information
This month's Randbats Spotlight is going to include a SMOGON TOURNAMENT. The format of this tournament will be the format chosen as the Randbats Spotlight. The length of this tournament will be 2 months, which will determine the pace of the tournament. The prize of the tournament will be 1 month of RPW (Room Prize Winner) and the possibility to pick a format for the next Randbats Spotlight poll!
How do I sign up?
Please do not sign up in this thread, a new thread will be open for the tournament itself.
Rules and additional details:
- When selecting a format to vote on as the winner, you will have a wide array of options, from modded variants of ladders that already exist, to formats that are challenge-only, to formats that don't exist at all! However, these are subject to coding limitations, and formats that have recently been a bimonthly spotlight cannot be voted on again for several months.
- This thread is open for discussion. Stay cordial, follow all site rules.
- Only votes in the poll above will count. Please do not type your vote out in a reply.
