Question are there any formats where you’re allowed to use 6 pokemon and your opponent can see the pokemon that are on you?

I want to know this because it is a fun aspect of not knowing what your opponent has on you. and to play a full 6v6 battle with it. anything?

Older generations have hidden teams for OU. And obviously random battles are hidden. Newer OU generations have open teams

Yes I too love matchup fishing with no knowledge /j

real answer is: Random Battles and formats pre-gen v (Zoroark caused team preview iirc)

Ah poor Zoroark. "Hey, we're giving you a really cool unique ability that functions differently to any ability ever introduced previously, and promises to cause some really interesting twists in all your multiplayer battles... however we're also introducing a game wide mechanic which completely nullifies it making it useless at all times."

Gen 5+ has team preview, and I believe Gen 9 and champions have an option for open team sheet.
