Sorry bro but zera can 1v1 all the mascots clearly means we're fated to win
 
Gm guys, I want to be in a winner team with amazing people all around. That's why I decided as a player to hold tryouts for other players? Why? Once I'm drafted I hopefully get an invite to the server immediately (appeal to the managers who draft me) and then I can convince them to pick you up. All of this just works if managers agree with my approach obviously.

I'm looking forward to the tryouts :D
You can either just DM me if you see me online on PS (luchick⭐⭐⭐) or you shoot me a Discord DM (luchik)
 
ATTENTION ALL RANDOM BATTLERS

To avoid getting flooded with DMs on Smogon and Discord that I might not be able to respond to or keep track of at all, Team Regigigas has created a simple quick (1-2 minutes) form for the first stage of our tryout process. The instruction are simple and included within.

Here is the link to the form.

If you're more comfortable messaging me privately instead (or if we've played in tournaments together in the past for example), then you can send a friend request or message to drifting_ or elgino10 on Discord, or here on Smogon if you'd prefer, and I'll do my best to respond quickly. Filling out the form is the best way to make sure your tryout will 100% be processed though.

If we like your submission then we'll contact you on Smogon/Discord and do stuff like play tryout games, etc. We don't have super high standards for this part of the process, it's just to keep things more organised, so please give it a shot even if you're worried you might not be good enough, you might just surprise yourself.

Glory to Team Regigigas.

POTENTIAL HOOPAS

Hello!

Team Hoopa will not be doing tryout games, but if you wish to join the best team of this edition you can DM Irpachuza or myself here on Smogon with a pitch!

Tell us what role you think you could play in the team, and why you can fill that role. In terms of qualifications we're looking for Random Battles experience and results, both on the ladder and in tournaments. Non-rands tournaments are a plus but less important. If you have valuable experience in a tournament that we may not be familiar with, please send us a link as well so we can check it out!

If you have some replays that you believe show your quality as a player we'd be more than happy to take a look, but this is certainly not required.

You never know if Explosion mon will attack or kaboom :trode: also after thinking 4x Explosion mons , Blissey and Wobbufett.
Maybe you never know
But I always know
the only way you can restrain me from stalling you is giving me a team with no heal mwahahaha (it will happens and I won't be happy about it)
 
Hello RBTTers!

If you're interested in playing for the Keldeos, we'd love to hear from you! Feel free to shoot me or Michielleus a message with your best results to help us get to know you better. General tour experience does play a role in our selection of players, but rands-related results typically weigh heavier.

Note that we expect you to meet some basic requirements if you'd like to specifically play tryout games. To participate in tryout games, we ask that you meet at least one of the following basic critera:
  • Top 500 on the sv randbats ladder, or top 50 on any other rands ladder;
  • A neutral or positive record in a recent rands team tour (within the last two years);
  • Quarterfinals or better in a Rands Slam Open tour;
  • Top 64 in the last two years of Rands Slam
If you meet one or more of these criteria and want to try out, don’t hesitate to reach out to us on Discord (jordy004 & michielleus), the sim, or through our Smogon DMs! We're excited to assemble a strong, passionate team and will do our best to make this season a great one for the Keldeos :)

A little late to the party, but definitely not too late!

pokeblade101 and I are returning for another year after becoming back to back winners to secure the 3peat with Team Zygarde.

There is absolutely no doubt that you're GUARANTEED to be on a team that knows what they're doing and have a great shot at the title if you end up with us. With open manager signups, competition is getting fiercer. My DMs are open to all who are interested in being a Zygarde (roginald on discord), especially to those who I do not already know! Don't be shy, you could be the difference that we attribute our success to.

Ladder ratings, tournament results and anything else you have to show me what you've got is strongly recommended and if I'm interested, I'll even offer some tryouts if needed.

Lets bring home 3 RBTT trophies in a row, and have the best time doing it.
