NON-EXTREME (almost all except Space, Seabed, etc...)
This can be moved to "HUMAN" tag, to keep in line with the recent changes to Biomes we're making, since it's a "person" you're finding. Or, since it's just a "Portal" it can be "ANY" biome, whichever you prefer.
Options offered to the player
Ideally this would work best without options, but if that's not possible, see the notes for devs section at the bottom
Notes to Developers
If it's not possible to have no options, you could have 2 choices with a preview of the previous team, and you can decide which one you want to fight
To me, the part where you have the dialogue and click an "option" of what's going on feel essential to what Events are. Having said that, you can give an illusion of choice -- meaning the battle itself you can make it happen, but at least add different approaches. ie:
- One approach could be the battle, vs "your past self, in a time dimension where you weren't as strong" -- maybe 4 PKMN tops
- The other could be the battle, vs "your past self, in a time dimension where you unlocked your potential" -- full team, w/ boss
Explanation/Notes on Design
The idea behind this one is that you find a time portal and fight your previous self. My thinking is that every time you get to wave 70 for example, a snapshot of your party should be kept. Once you have at 5-10 snapshots, this event can be triggered. Then when you're in the wave range, it pulls one of the snapshots out and takes 1-2 pokemon (probably at random) and turns them into a trainer battle. At least one of the enemy's pokemon should be a boss enemy. When you win, your current team should take over the losing snapshot, so the amount of snapshots stays the same. If you lose, the snapshot doesn't change.
The waves that this can appear are flexible, as are the biomes and rewards - I haven't figured that part out yet
I'd work with this idea in a (perhaps simpler) way. Why not take a snapshot of the starting team for that run, and order them by eggcost.
Then, "weaker version" would take the three higher eggcost PKMN that you started with, and present them in whatever evolution phase they should be at -- and fill a random regional starter (Charmander and company) if you started with less than that amount of PKMN. Total PKMN = 3
The "stronger version" could take your 5 highest cost PKMN that you started with, and also fill and evolve them if necessary. Finally, add a cool boss to it, maybe one of the non-legendary Megas, that is of a type that isn't already in that team. Total PKMN = 6
Reward could be an ultra item guaranteed for the easy fight, and 2 rogue guaranteed for the hard fight. Since no meta progression, this could be Great category. With the changes I proposed, it could be found 11-179 --> with perhaps no Mega Evolution before wave 100.

You fight against your past self.
When you win against your previous self, gain a lot of XP, though I don't know how XP works so can't give you numbers. The rewards should be at least great/ultra tier
