In a Showdown Battle Factory or Random Battle, what are the odds of getting all Pokemon that share at least one type?

Jan. 14, 2021

Basically, I’m asking the chances of both sides getting Monotype teams. This happened to me in a Gen 7 Battle Factory match. I got all electric types, and my opponent got all dragons. Does this normally happen, or is it super rare?

You never asked on Smogon, so I did it for you.

Gen 7 Battle Factory chooses randomly from 8 tiers including LC and Monotype, each with an equal chance of being chosen.

Gen 8 Random Battles allow 1 Pokemon of each type combination at most, and 2 sharing a type per team.Monotype teams are impossible and tiers are very balanced with a certain Random chance of devalancing,
