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!
As usual, this Randbats Spotlight will feature a SMOGON TOURNAMENT related to it. More details about this tournament are included in this thread, so keep reading!
YOU MAY VOTE FOR MULTIPLE FORMATS!
What are all these mods?
Chimera 1v1: You are given a team of 6 Pokémon, to combine into one powerful "chimera", to use in a 1v1 battle. At Team Preview the order you pick your Pokémon determines what trait you give to this “chimera”. Starting from first to last, you are going to determine type (and name/appearance), item, ability, stats, moves 1-2 and moves 3-4 with the pokemon you pick, ready to face off against the opponent's creation!
Foresighters: the first move in the moveset works in the same fashion as Future Sight, meaning it activates two turns after you click it. You can unleash powerful attacks or even use status moves both on yours (like setup) or the opponent’s (like status conditions) Pokémon, creating chain reactions that will give an unexpected turn to the battle!
Inverse: the type chart gets inverted, so that resistances (and immunities) become weaknesses and vice versa.
Full Potential: whenever you unleash an attack, the damage is calculated by using the highest stat of your pokemon. This means that usually defensive walls like Steelix and Blissey, or speedy but frail pokemon like Ninjask could turn into unexpected offensive powerhouses. Plus, Pokémon cursed with their STABs being of the wrong type gain new life in this modded Gen 3 format!
!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?

Rules and additional details:
