Team pairings are not perfectly random.

We are a game group of 4 players that love Decrypto and just keep hitting Propose another game whenever one game ends. Out of the 3 possible pairings, it only picks out of 2. There are 2 players that are never paired together. We even tried to make a new game and it's still same, the same 2 players are never on the same team. it's weird.

Since all possible pairings have occurred, they are possible, and I guess you've just been on "bad luck" streak.

Thanks for checking! Our luck is bound to turn soon I guess.

Not sure but maybee the game tends to balance average team level ... so it always pairs a "stronger" and a "weaker" player ?

Well I double checked my last game and is not not true : all the weakers have been together vs the strongers .. . a bit unfair .. so every pair/team could occur.
