Random Battles Monthly Spotlight - Month 2: [Gen 7] Pick-Your-Team Random Battle

Welcome to the Ladder Peaks thread, where you, the players, will post your own ladder peaks! Whoever has the highest recorded peak by the end of the month will win Room Prize Winner (^) and a slot of their choice in the next Monthly Spotlight voting!

==RULES AND GUIDELINES==​

-The highest ELO ever recorded in this thread will be the winner. This means that, even if you've lost ELO since the time you took your screenshot, your highest score is still what matters.

-A Smogon account is required to participate in this event. Simply being at the top of the ladder at the end of the month will not win you the prize if you do not post in the thread.

-Each person may have exactly ONE post in this thread. You may edit the post as many times as you wish, just don't post more than once.

-Proof of your highest ELOs must be shown via the command "/rank gen7pickyourteamrandombattle" or the Top 500 feature on the ladder. This proof must be a screenshot, with proof that it is your account (for example, by you being logged into it on Showdown)

-If your post does not meet these qualifications, your score will not be counted.

-The posts on this thread will be counted as they were at exactly 11:59 PM GMT on October 31st. Any edits made after this point will not count.

-Posts that are not proofs of ELO will be deleted. Please use the discussion thread for that.

Michielleus I challenge you to a BO3 Gen 7 Bring 12 Pick 6 Random Battle!!! If I lose, I apologize to Team Spain!!!! If you lose, you apologize to my brothers in Brazil!!! AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!


long time wigglytuff understanders will know that i have advocated for team preview in rands since 2018. this obviously isn't the same as team preview, but i had a ton of fun with planning around my threats and the threats of my opponents. it's never been in serious dispute (or so i hope) that team preview is more competitive than no team preview, but i hope ppl give this a chance and see that it's also a hell of a lot more fun once you get past the initial learning curve.

here's some fun replays of the wack teams i picked

Posting personal peak for fun even though I won't win:

Personally think gen 7 randbats is too RNG, but pick-your-team makes it more balanced and very fun. Looking forward to seeing this mechanic with more formats!

I hope this becomes a permanent format, great addition to randbats. May try to push for the top this weekend but probably won't make it. Glhf to everybody else on the ladder
