New Mode- Revolution Battles

[Chozg]

I'd like to suggest a unique new Battle mode that could be added to PRO to give the game a distinct niche in the wider Pokemon community 

 

The mode would be inspired game’s name, where the key gimmick has teams revolve around randomly, swapping your team with your opponents.

 

At the start of battle, there’d be a 10% chance for a team swap to occur. This chance increases by 10% each turn that a swap doesn’t happen, and resets back to 10% after each successful swap.

 

Example:
A battle starts as a standard 6v6. You knock out one of your opponent’s Pokemon, making it 6v5, but then the teams revolve, swapping sides, so now you’re the one at a 5v6 disadvantage.

 

This mechanic forces players to think several turns ahead, planning not only their offense and defense but also how a potential swap could change the entire flow of battle. Do you stall to build up the swap chance and hope for a lucky reversal, or do you go all in to finish the match before the next rotation is rolled?

 

Creative strategies could emerge. For example, using Fly or Dig to trap your opponent into a move mid-swap, forcing their newly controlled Pokemon to commit to it, giving you an opportunity to take advantage of it.

 

This format could work in both random battles or with premade teams. In theory, it shouldn’t be too complex to implement, yet it would provide a fun, mind game heavy experience, something unique to PRO that sets it apart in the wider Pokemon battling community.

 

Additionally, as far as premade teams, this would give pvp viability to every single pokemon in the game, every form and bad iv mon you find now has value as raw viability matters far less when it might be a detriment you can force on your opponent.

 

Beyond gameplay, this kind of mode has strong YouTube potential as the unpredictability and comedic timing of swaps could lead to hilarious and entertaining matches, attracting mid to large creators and giving PRO organic, free exposure.

 

Obviously no idea is perfect right off the bat so tweaking or modifications of the idea are encouraged (such as the % swap chance), so if you have any thoughts or suggestions of the mode drop a comment with it I'd love to hear thoughts and feedback.
