So, after 1 week I received 8 yes votes and 0 no votes for starting a wonder battle thread so let's get this started! This is a format of battles where anything could be involved, from a freshly hatched magikarp to a Battle Bonded Greninja. Anyone can participate so feel welcome to join in, experience is definitely not required!
Participation is simple, if you want to have a battle, Issue a post challenge on this thread and wait for your rival to arrive, don't forget we have a discord where you can meet to connect and battle as after the challenge is declared you can communicate much quicker there. For an explanation as to 'what is wonder battling?' This explanation should suffice: The wonder battle is a format of battling whereby trainers wondertrade 6 Pokémon and use the recieved Pokémon from these trades as their battle team. Overall wonder battling is simple yet highly unpredictable so you don't need to be a big fan of competitive battling knowing all of the current strategies in order to participate, making this great for players new to competitive battling!
The Rules:
You must use the first 6 Pokémon you receive (even if you get a magikarp!)
You may not use legendaries or mythical Pokémon obtained in battle (Trade for another Pokémon)
You may not have 2 of the same species of Pokémon, re-trade as necessary
No EV training, changing moves or changing held items
Levels must be set to 50
The battle mode should be set to Singles Battle
You must use a new team for every ranked battle (friendly rematches are fine)
Rankings:
Although this is not meant to be majorly competitive due to the random nature of wonder trades I am proposing to keep a record of win percentages on the thread. To have your matches added to the ranking one user must upload a replay of the battle video and post the code for the battle replay on this thread. For those of you unfamiliar with uploading battle videos, here is a link to a YouTube tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrMLxGJDnzQ.
Once the ranking pick up I will use the post below to show the top trainers for the month as well as long term ranks and hopefully in the near future I will be able to introduce prizes for those who reach the top rank!
Well, that's all from me for now. Good luck and may your trades bring you Victini Victory !!!
It is realy simple since it is pretty much just going into the plaza's castle, speaking to the woman there and selecting which video to make public out of your saved replays. I find it is a really fun battle style as it is really unpredictable leaving those with little battle knowledge i.e me with a good chance of winning

@Tenebris_Kane Unfortunately, it's a little bit late right now and I'm going to bed, but I hope you will have free time for a battle tomorrow?
Charmander will always be in my heart, but I can't say that you're not wrong! ;D
