Bulbaleague Conference (Random Battle Tournament)

Yup. I understood that much. I was just wondering what battle style should I choose at Teambuilder when building my team?

You don't build a team - every team in a random battle is generated at the beginning of the game, by Showdown. The levels scale depending on which Smogon tier they sit in, and they all have moves and items from a pool of 'sensible' options. I highly recommend trying it, games are super-quick to start.

Ah, I see. Makes sense. So everyone's teams and success depend on pure luck. I remember this concept from Stadium 2.

If it was pure luck, some of us wouldn't have topped several of the ladders. ;)

In all seriousness, the level scaling is a significant aid to keeping things in check. Most 'normal' Pokemon will be about ten levels higher than the typical Uber, for example.
