Rules:
www.pokemonshowdown.com, Gen 7 random battles.
No using the timer
Have your match the week it is scheduled. Failures will be dealt with on a discretionary basis - but we are only going for 7 weeks in the main season here, so you will not be able to get 3 weeks behind like in past seasons
NO REPLAYS, NO POINTS. It's up to both players to come to an agreement at the start of the match as to who will post replays.
More rules to be added as I remember them
Top 2 from each division advance to a final 8 tournament, based on W/L record (matches) then W/L record (games), with the head to head result as the final tiebreaker.

Week 2:
pyresword vs. Whiskey_Nick
Forceful_Dragon vs. swordz9
NFUN vs. Shonen_Bat
Tom Bombadil vs. Terastodon

Heroic_Bigpun vs. profDEADPOOL
Silver_Ermine vs. Emeraldegg

Aw yes only division that played all its matches.

Nick let me know when you want to play. My schedule is somewhat unpredictable, but I am most of the time available after 9pm eastern time. (I am often available earlier but it's hard to predict which days I'll be finishing work earlier or later.) If that doesn't work than we will likely have to do the weekend, which for me means Saturday night or Sunday, since I am busy Saturday morning/afternoon.

Also Steiner, last topic you had alluded to wanting to do top 4 from each division now that they had 8 people. Is that still the case or are we sticking with 2 from each division?

Historically speaking sure, but I think singling the 3 of us out on top is a bad assumption in this case considering Shonen_Bat is currently on the Random Battles leaderboard. While I do think there are a reasonable number of people from this league who would be on the leaderboard if they actually played on the ladder, I think it's fair to say he's clearly in contention for the top spot regardless. (For example though I have seen Karo on the leaderboard from time to time as well)

@WiggumFan267 why use spoiler tags at all if you aren't going to use a separate tag for the link and the result. I click the link to load the final battle only to see "wigs 2-1" flash as the link is loading. It made it super anticlimatic when the sandslash got out that to know 100% it would be able to get the job done.

I say it in the replay, but I learned a lot from how that final match played out. If I'm ever in a similar situation with a rest/sleeptalk pokemon that seems likely to go to struggle then I will pilot it much better in the future.

Why the hell does Toxapex get Baneful Bunker in randoms, I've never seen it without it. It's ass for a Pokemon that literally always carries Toxic or Toxic Spikes anyway. Plus, Recover + Regenerator + insane bulk makes a protect variation pointless. I love to build with Toxapex and would never forego Haze, it's a shame if random sets isn't using its full potential, it's a 10/10 Pokemon. Made no difference in the end, but Haze sure would have been useful.

Yeah this is what Unown always has. I am pretty sure Unown is level 100 which mitigates it somewhat (it can do reasonable damage actually), but it still sucks. Even 1v1 it's only average, but any time you see it it's a free switch to any Dark/Steel/Psychic Pokemon that you want.
