Hey! Just to update anyone who's listening, we collected and analyzed all of your responses (Thank you so much for helping!) and had another council vote on the matter. We have ultimately decided not to revamp Gen 8 Random Battle. This was a divisive issue, so we still didn't have a clear...

4/17/2024: Gen 9 Random Battle: -Torterra now once again has an additional set with White Herb, Wood Hammer, and Stone Edge. -Charizard now has a third set: Sunny Day, Fire Blast, Solar Beam, and Air Slash with Solar Power. It won't always be using Sunny Day with this set, but when it does it...

The sleeping Whiscash was attempting to use Protect.

Hi! Thank you for your suggestion. It's been brought to the development team and has so far been denied 10-1 because the lack of team preview means that you will often need to not be helpless after using Rest. I'll let you know if this changes, but until then please do not bring it up again...

The Random Battles Development Council has not been able to decide whether to revamp Gen 8 into the new system Gen 9 Random Battles uses or not; input from who we've polled so far has been quite mixed, and we need to cast a wider net! This is where you come in...

I've been slacking on this, let's get y'all caught up to speed before April, eh? TL;DR: -Electabuzz, Magmar, Duraludon, and Rhydon are now in Gen 9 Random Doubles. -Iron Boulder and Slither Wing were prevented from being a lead to prevent unwanted items (but they are now allowed as a lead again...
